What You'll Learn
Using the BLUESKY Remove & Revive Kit
Start by lightly buffing off the shine from the top of your nails using the nail buffer included in the kit. This step helps to break down the top coat of the gel polish, making it easier to remove. Make sure you do this gently to avoid damaging your nails.
Next, take one of the Removal Wraps from the kit and open it. Place your nail inside the wrap and then wrap the packaging securely around your finger. Repeat this process for all your nails. The Removal Wraps are extra absorbent, so you can use less acetone, and they help to keep the remover in place.
Leave the wraps on for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the remover will soak into the gel polish, breaking it down and making it crumbly. After the time is up, simply slide the wraps off and gently scrape away the gel using an orangewood stick or a cuticle stick, which is also provided in the kit.
If there is any remaining gel polish on your nails, you can use the nail buffer to gently buff it away. Be careful not to over-buff your nails as this can cause damage. Finally, wipe away any debris or residue with a BLUESKY Cleanser Wipe, which is also included in the kit, to leave your nails clean and ready for your next manicure.
The BLUESKY Remove & Revive Kit provides a convenient and comprehensive solution for removing gel nail polish. It includes Removal Wraps, Cleanser Wipes, a Cuticle Stick, a Nail File, and a Nail Buffer, ensuring you have all the tools necessary for a quick and effective removal process.

Buffing off the shine with a nail buffer
Buffing your nails is an important step in the process of removing Bluesky gel nail polish. It helps to break down the top protective layer of the gel polish, making it easier to remove. Here is a detailed guide on how to do it effectively:
Start by taking your nail buffer, preferably a Bluesky Nail Buffer, and gently buff off the shine from the top of your nails. Be careful not to apply too much pressure as you only want to remove the top layer of gel polish, not damage the nail bed. Use light, gentle strokes, and work your way across the entire nail surface. This process will help the removal wraps work more effectively by allowing the remover to penetrate the gel polish.
The Bluesky Nail Buffer is specifically designed to help remove gel polish safely and effectively. It is a mini nail buffer, perfect for precise and controlled buffing. Its soft, gentle surface ensures that you can buff off the shine without causing any damage to your nails. Remember to use a light touch and not over-buff, as this can thin your nails and cause them to become weak and brittle.
If you do not have a Bluesky Nail Buffer, you can use a regular nail file to gently buff the shine off your nails. However, it is important to be extra cautious when using a file, as it may be more abrasive and increase the risk of over-buffing. Always file in one direction, and avoid applying too much pressure.
After buffing, your nails should feel slightly rough, and the shiny surface of the gel polish should be gone. This is an indication that you have successfully removed the top layer, and your nails are ready for the next step in the removal process. Remember always to be gentle with your nails during the removal process to maintain their health and strength.

Soaking nails with gel remover
Firstly, use a nail buffer to lightly buff off the shine from the top of your nails. This helps to break down the top coat of the gel polish, making it easier for the remover to penetrate. Next, soak a cotton ball or pad with nail gel remover and place it on top of each nail. You can also use the provided acetone gel polish removal wraps, which are already soaked in remover.
After applying the remover, wrap each nail with aluminium foil or any nail wrap to secure it in place. This step ensures that the remover stays in contact with the nail and prevents it from drying out. Leave the wraps on for a minimum of 15 minutes. The remover needs time to soak through the layers of gel polish and break down its structure.
Finally, remove the cotton and wraps one nail at a time. Use a removal wand or an orangewood stick to gently push off the gel. It should come off easily without the need for force or aggressive scraping. If there are any stubborn areas, re-soak a cotton ball with remover and rewrap the nail for another 5 minutes. Finish by buffing your nails lightly to smooth out any remaining gel residue.

Using a removal wand to push off gel
To use a removal wand, you will need to gather the following supplies: acetone, cotton balls (or pads), aluminum foil, a cuticle pusher (or orangewood stick), and a nail file. Cuticle oil and a nail buffer are optional extras.
First, use a coarse nail file to file down the gel top coat layer until the top coat is no longer shiny and smooth. Then, soak a cotton ball or pad with nail gel remover and place it on top of each nail. Wrap the nail with aluminum foil or any nail wrap to secure and allow the remover to soak. Soak for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Remove the cotton and foils one at a time and gently push off the gel using a removal wand. The gel should come off easily without much effort. If necessary, re-saturate the cotton and rewrap your finger, then soak for another 5 minutes.
Finally, gently buff your nails to smooth out ridges and uneven edges. Be careful not to over-buff, as this can cause your nails to become thin and weak, making it hard for gel polish to stick properly in the future.

Bluesky gel nail polish can be removed using cleanser wipes. The Bluesky Gel Polish Cleanser is an antibacterial liquid solution that contains 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. It is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, as Bluesky does not test any of its products on animals.
To use the cleanser wipes, first, prep your nails by filing them to the desired shape and buffing them for a clean and dry surface. Push back your cuticles and trim them if necessary. Then, take a cleanser wipe and remove any dust and debris to clean your nails before applying the polish.
After you have applied and cured your top coat, use another cleanser wipe to remove the sticky residue, leaving your nails with a high-shine finish.
You can also use the Bluesky cleanser to clean your nail art brushes. To do this, simply saturate a lint-free wipe with the Bluesky cleanser and use it to wipe down your brushes.
