Nailing It: The Correct Way To Remove Enamel

Specifically formulated to dissolve stubborn stains, enamel removers may be renowned for their effective removal of past it polish, but these irritant substances also create an array of unsightly problems including a separation of layers in the nail plate, and dehydration.

A great tip to minimize the risk of overexposure to the drying effects these harsh formulas inflict on our skin and nails, is to master the skillful removal of enamel. How? Simple...
After applying this particular product sparingly, a lint free or cotton wool pad should be pressed firmly onto the nail and swept away after a few seconds, squeezing gently against the nail plate to ensure all traces of dissolved enamel are removed.

Using this technique as opposed to a 'rubbing' motion will not only decrease the risk of overexposure, but prevent excess enamel from transferring and staining the surrounding skin where it will force an unnecessary dehydration of the soft tissue, due to the requirement of extra enamel remover.

Remember that any hidden areas of enamel will be exposed by gently pulling back the nail walls. An orange stick tipped with cotton wool can then be used to thoroughly remove all trace of polish located around the nail border.
