The first step when removing your products with our electric nail file is to choose the right bit for the product you have on your nails.
For removing Gel Polish, the gentler bits are best suited. All the bits used are listed below.
To attach your chosen bit, turn the shaft of the electric nail file to the left until you hear a click. To lock the bit in place, turn it to the right. It is very important that your electric nail file is not turned on while you are changing the bit.
1. Start filing off your Gel Polish
Once you have attached the desired bit, gently begin filing off the product. We recommend using a Mandrel Bit with a 180 grit Sanding Band for removing Gel Polish. When removing your Gel Polish with our electric nail file, it is important that you never file all the way down to your natural nail, as you risk damaging it. Take your time, and feel free to take short breaks along the way to check how much of your Gel Polish you have removed. It’s better to be a little too gentle than too eager!
This is why it’s important to use a light and careful touch when using our electric nail file. Do not press the nail file down onto the nail. It is better to start at a low speed and let the electric nail file glide over the nail until you get to know your machine.
2. Remove the product around the cuticle area
Remove the product from top to bottom – working from the cuticle down toward the tip of the nail. It is important to keep the file moving at all times. Never hold the file in one spot, as this can damage the nail and overheat the nail plate.
During the process, you can change the bit if you want to reach all the way to the sidewalls. We recommend using our Diamond Bit – Cone-Shaped, Medium if you are experienced with an electric nail file. If you are still new to using an electric nail file, we recommend removing the product closest to your cuticles with a hand file. Once you feel comfortable switching to the electric nail file, it is important to start slowly so you can get used to the machine.
3. Remove any remaining Gel Polish
We recommend switching to a Mandrel Bit with a 240-grit Sanding Band once you have filed through the first layers of product, or when you need to work close to the cuticle, around the base and edge of your natural nail, as this is the finest sanding band.
It is important that you never hold your electric nail file still in one spot on the nail or move it back and forth across the nail. Instead, move it in one direction, lift it away from the nail, and then move it in the same direction again.
4. Remove any residue
Once you’ve removed your Gel Polish and any excess dust from your nails, there may still be a little residue left behind. You can easily remove it by gently buffing the nail with our buffer.
This leaves you with a smooth, clean nail plate – ready for your next product or to show off your beautiful natural nails!
Wash your hands thoroughly, then apply nail oil. Massage the oil into both the cuticle area and underneath the nails for optimal care.
Nail oil gives your nails the nourishment they need to stay strong and healthy. It helps prevent dryness, supports healthy growth, and keeps your cuticles soft and well cared for – so your hands always look beautiful and perfectly groomed.
