how to remove sticky residue from gel nails without alcohol
Hello, I heard that you're quite knowledgeable about nail care. I have a question for my friend who has gel nails. How can she remove the sticky residue from them without using alcohol?
Hi Bill! There are several alternative methods she can use. First, she can use non-acetone nail polish remover. It's far less drying than alcohol.
Interesting, but what if she doesn't have non-acetone nail polish remover? Is there another household item she can use?
In that case, she can opt to use vinegar. Just soak a cotton ball in vinegar and gently wipe the nail. Vinegar is a weaker solvent than alcohol, so it may take a bit longer.
That's a great idea, a common household item that can be really useful in this situation. Is it safe for all types of gel nails?
It should be, but I would recommend testing it on a small area first to make sure it won't damage the finish. Remember to always go gentle.
Wonderful advice! I truly appreciate your help. Now, let's return to our game of bridge.
