How to Remove Builder Gel

2. Saturate a lint-free wipe or cotton with acetone and place it over the nail.
3. Wrap each nail with foil or use soak-off clips.
4. Allow the nails to soak for 10–15 minutes.
5. Remove the foil and gently push away the softened gel using a cuticle pusher.
6. If needed, re-wrap and soak for an additional 5–10 minutes. Do not force or pry off the product.
7. Lightly buff the nail surface to remove any remaining residue.
8. Finish by applying cuticle oil to hydrate the nails and surrounding skin.
