The key to taking off gel nails is to soak it in really hot water for a few minutes and they should peel right off, However it is normal for a few nails to stay on. If that should happen using a cuticle stick gently move the cuticles back. Then using the pointed end loosen the rounded part of the nail, soak in more hot water and then you can remove it from the bottem end. the glue that is left over will wear off in a few days.

After get a paper towel and alcohol and clean them off quickly.

Why do some uv gels turn yellow right after they are fixed in uv lamp?
Yes UV Gel nails are way better than Acrylic nails. They are more expensive, but well worth it! The substance MMA is found in ACrylic nails. methyl methacrylate (MMA), are nown to have cancer causing agents. Discount ACrlylics are a no no. Ladies just grow out ur own nails. I recommend natural nails over any kind of artificial nails anyday!!!!! Yellowing of UV gel nails is most often caused by the use of inferior, and cheap UV gel products. Top of the line UV gels will not yellow, even with exposure or in tanning beds. It is true that MMA is founf at many discount salons, but a good tech will never use any acrylicproducts which contain that hazardous substance. BTW, gels are very similar to acrylic nail in that they come from the same acrylic family of chemicals. But to say that one is better than the other for your naills is not accurate. Many factors affect the health of your natural nails when wearing nail enhancements of any type. I would strongly suggest staying away from any and all discount salons and going to reputable, and experienced techs instead who use nothing but the very vest products available on your nails. Discount salons will ruin your nails more often than not. It is simply not worth risking your personal health for the sake of saving a few dollars by going to any discount salon. They are all pretty much the same, IMO. Avoid them at all costs.
Are gel nails better than acrylic?
Gel and acrylic nails have similar results. They can lengthen short nails, strengthen nails, and make your fingers look longer and more slender. There are some various pros and cons that might help you decide which the right choice is for you. If gel nails, acrylic nails, and other choices are overwhelming you, then one thing you can always do is speak with a nail technician (manicurist) who can help you make a wise decision that will fit your needs Phoebe x x x
