How to Remove Dip Powder Nails, According to Nail Technicians

by sabpro February 17, 2021
written by sabpro

Dip powder nails (also known as SNS nails) have recently become synonymous with gorgeous, long-lasting color that (supposedly) doesn’t sacrifice the health of your nails. The only problem is, just like gel, removing it at home can be pretty tricky (read: damaging), which is why the process has been getting some flack.

“There are two issues that I’ve found with dips and nail health,” Lauren Dunne explains. “The first is that it is designed to stay on the nail for 2-4 weeks, which can result in issues like spotting on your nails from keratin granulation or from color pigments. Second, if the dip begins to lift over time, moisture can get captured, which can cause bacterial infections.”

While that sounds scary, the buzz-worthy technique has plenty of plusses too—even when it comes to removing it at home.

How to Remove Glitter Nail Polish Without Stripping Your Nails: 3 Steps

by sabpro October 1, 2020
written by sabpro

We love the look of a chic glitter manicure just as much as the next person. But when it comes time to actually remove your favorite glitter polish, it’s a different story. The heterogeneous texture of glitter polish makes it significantly more difficult to remove than regular nail lacquer, which means you can accidentally damage your nails when you’re trying to remove those stubborn flecks of glitter.

Thanks to how commonly difficult it is to remove glitter nail polish, we thought it’d be helpful to chat with a nail expert for their tips on taking it off. So ahead, we chatted with Olive & June’s founder, Sarah Gibson Tuttle. After all, who better to ask than someone who formulates polish (including glitter polish) for a living?

Keep reading for Tuttle’s step-by-step approach to removing glitter nail polish—all without stripping your nails in the process.

How to Reverse the Fate of Dry, Peeling Cuticles

by sabpro August 1, 2020
written by sabpro

Dry cuticles are a buzz kill. Not only can they make a perfect manicure appear anything but, those irritating hangnails can be the source of much frustration, too. Cuticles (the thin ridges of skin that surround the base of your nails) are an important area to take care of, especially during the cooler months when they’re more susceptible to dryness. And as with most beauty categories, there are several different types of cuticle products on the market, all serving different purposes.

If you aren’t a professional nail technician, clipping your cuticles may seem intimidating, so we tapped experts for some beginner-friendly tips you can master at home. From cuticle remover to cuticle oil, we’re providing you with a guide to the most common essentials that will help you on your journey to healthier cuticles. Keep reading to find out how to use cuticle remover like a pro.

This Is How to Remove Gel Polish From Acrylic Nails

by sabpro July 17, 2020
written by sabpro

While it’s always best to refresh a gel manicure at the nail salon, sometimes you’re left with no choice but to take matters into your own hands. (Pun intended.) If you have the gel on top of an acrylic set, swapping out your hue can be extra daunting. Luckily, there are methods of removal that won’t totally wreck your nails—you just need the right supplies at home.

We have one crucial piece of advice before diving into which tools to use: Resist the urge to peel or bite your gel polish, which—let’s be honest—occasionally seems like the easiest solution to your manicure woes. It’s never a good idea. If you have acrylics underneath, biting and picking can damage the its surface, making for an uneven canvas for future polish. (It’s even worse if your natural nails are the next layer, as picking will take a layer of your nail with it—causing your natural nails to get dry, brittle, weak, and even cracked.)

The good news is, we talked to the pros to get some tried-and-true methods for removing gel polish from acrylic nails at home—no salon visit necessary. Read on to get their best tips.

How to Do Your Own Acrylic Nails at Home

by sabpro June 15, 2020
written by sabpro

Whether you don’t have time to head into the salon or you’re simply looking for ways to cut back on your beauty spending, learning how to do your own acrylic nails at home is a skill worth pursuing. Fortunately, it’s one that’s not too terribly difficult to pick up. Plus, you might even find that spreading acrylic from cuticle to tip is one of the most soothing ASMR experiences yet.

Just keep in mind that acrylic nails—both those done in a salon or created at home—come with their pros and cons. On one hand, they’re sturdy and long-lasting, creating the unique opportunity to score stellar nail length if your natural nails are hard to grow out. On the other hand, they can be damaging to your nails if you don’t look for the right formulas, remove them improperly, or fail to give your nails a break from acrylics every now and then.

Since doing your acrylic nails is most definitely a process, we’re here to walk you through it. Ahead you’ll find step-by-step instructions for doing your own acrylic nails at home.

Most importantly, don’t rush. Taking your time with this technique is the difference between an unsightly nail mishap and a salon-quality mani. Ahead, find a step-by-step guide for how to do acrylic nails at home.

written by sabpro

Kiss Nails are a good way to give your nails an instant makeover. However, if you’re a parent of younger children, you’re going to find they’re not practical to wear all the time.
