The bowl method
Sensationail Gel Nail Polish can be removed using the bowl method. This method involves using a glass bowl, a bigger bowl, hot water, and either Sensationail Gel Nail Polish Remover or 100% acetone.
First, you need to prepare your nails. Gently push back the cuticles with a stick, then file your nails to shape them. Next, you need to buff the shiny top layer of polish from your nails. Be careful not to buff through to the natural nail. After buffing, file the tip of the nail (as if shaping) to break the seal made when capping during application. This will allow the removal solution to penetrate the polish.
Now, pour your Sensationail Gel Nail Polish Remover or 100% acetone into the glass bowl. Place this bowl in a slightly bigger bowl filled with hot (not boiling) water. Soak your nails in the remover, or alternatively, use foil wraps. If you are using foil wraps, apply the remover to a cotton ball, pad, or swab and use it to gently rub the polish off.
If there is any stubborn polish, re-wrap the nail and leave for another five to ten minutes until the gel polish is flaky and soft. Wash your hands thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water and apply Sensationail Cuticle Oil to nourish the nail.

Using foil wraps
Sensationail's Gel Polish Removal Kit is a convenient way to remove gel nail polish. The kit includes foil wraps, a stick, a dropper, and a nail file sponge. You will also need to purchase acetone separately. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the foil wraps to remove your Sensationail gel nail polish:
Step 1: Prepare the Foil Wraps
Start by tearing open the foil pouch and saturating the cotton pad inside with either Sensationail Remover liquid or 100% acetone. Use the dropper provided in the kit to avoid spilling any acetone. Be careful not to get acetone on your skin, as it can be drying.
Step 2: Buff Your Nails
Before applying the foil wraps, gently buff the shiny top layer of polish from your nails. Be careful not to buff through to the natural nail. You can use a nail file to gently file the tip of your nail, breaking the seal created during the gel polish application.
Step 3: Apply the Foil Wraps
Place your buffed nail against the cotton pad inside the foil wrap and wrap it tightly around your finger. Make sure to wrap each nail individually. The foil wrap will help lock in the natural heat, aiding in the removal process. You may find it easier to work on one hand at a time.
Step 4: Wait and Remove
Leave the foil wraps on for 15 to 20 minutes. You can speed up the process by placing your hands in rubber gloves, oven mitts, or a warm towel. After the allotted time, remove the foil wraps. Most of the gel polish should have lifted off your nails and remained inside the foil wrap.
Step 5: Gently Push Off Remaining Polish
Use a manicure stick or the Sensationail Gel Polish Removal Tool to gently push away any remaining gel polish. Start at the cuticle and push towards the nail tip. If there is any stubborn polish, rewrap the nail and wait a few more minutes before trying again. Avoid digging the tool into the polish, as this can damage your nails.
Step 6: Wash and Nourish Your Nails
After removing all the gel polish, wash your hands thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water. Apply Sensationail Cuticle Oil or a nourishing nail treatment to hydrate and protect your nails.

Using the Stripgel Peel Off Basecoat
Sensationail's Stripgel Peel Off Basecoat is a base coat that can be used with any of their Original gel nail polishes. It allows you to peel off your polish without damaging your nails.
To use the Stripgel Peel Off Basecoat, first prepare your nails by gently pushing back your cuticles with the provided stick, then file your nails to shape. Next, use the finest side of the buffer to lightly buff your nails all over and remove the shine. Wash your hands in washing-up liquid and dry them thoroughly. You can then wipe your nails with cleanser on a lint-free wipe to dehydrate them.
Apply one layer of the Stripgel Peel Off Basecoat to your nails, ensuring you apply it slightly away from all edges. Allow the base coat to air dry for a few seconds. Follow with your chosen SensatioNail Original gel nail polish colour and cure it under an LED lamp. Repeat with another layer of gel colour and cure again. Apply the No Wipe Top Coat and cure.
When you are ready to remove your manicure, use a cuticle stick to gently ease the base off the nail. Start from the cuticle end or side of the nail—never start peeling from the tip of the nail, as you could weaken the top layer of your natural nail. Peel the Stripgel off slowly and gently.

Nourishing your nails
Sensationail recommends applying their Cuticle Oil to nourish nails after removing gel nail polish. However, if you don't have this product to hand, there are several other ways to nourish your nails after removing gel nail polish.
Firstly, it's important to note that gel nail polish can leave nails damaged, making them thinner and weaker. This is due to both the gel itself and the acetone used to remove it, which can dry out nails and skin. Therefore, it's a good idea to opt for healthier alternatives to standard gel polish where possible.
To nourish and strengthen your nails, you can apply nail care oils or create your own blend of oils. You can also try a DIY conditioner or a gelatin-based nail conditioner, which is a natural way to harden damaged, brittle nails. A simple recipe for a gelatin nail conditioner involves mixing two teaspoons of gelatin with warm water and leaving it to harden. Then, soak your nails in the mixture or apply it to your nail plates and leave it on for several minutes. Repeat this treatment at least every other day. Another home nail conditioner is made from olive oil, vitamins A and E, and lemon juice.
You can also nourish your nails by moisturising your hands. Keep a bottle of lotion by every sink in your house and apply hand cream after using cuticle oil. This will help to lock in moisture, which is often lost due to gel nail damage.
Finally, you can nourish your nails by focusing on your diet. Eating a healthy, balanced diet with a range of nutrients will help to strengthen your nails. The essential nutrients for nail health include biotin, zinc, silicon, folic acid, iron, and vitamins A, C, and E. Foods that contain these nutrients include kiwi, parsley, Brussels sprouts, cranberries, wild rose fruit, fish, green vegetables, groats, avocado, and legumes. If you're not getting enough of these nutrients from your diet, you can also try taking dietary supplements.
