At-home gel removal & removal tools

At-home gel removal is the safest way to take off gel polish without damaging the nail plate, as long as you use the right remover, wraps and aftercare. This collection brings together gentle essentials for removing gel at home, including soak-off removers, foils or clips, and nail care products to help minimise dryness.

For best results, avoid force-peeling gel. Instead, allow the remover time to soften the gel properly, then lift it gently. Rushing removal can lead to peeling, thinning and breakage, especially if you wear gel regularly.

A simple routine works best. Start by preparing the nails and protecting the skin around the cuticles. Apply your soak-off remover, then wrap with foils or clips to keep everything in place whilst soaking. Once the gel has softened, remove it carefully without aggressive scraping. After removal, lightly refine the surface only if needed, then finish with cuticle oil and a nourishing treatment to restore moisture.

If you’re building a starter set, choose a remover plus foils/clips and a rich cuticle oil. This at-home gel removal routine helps keep nails looking healthier between manicures and supports better results the next time you apply gel.
