The beauty industry regularly offers girls new technologies and techniques that allow them to create a stunningly beautiful image. Today it is very fashionable to extend eyelashes, hair, and nails. You can create an unusual, feminine look using special gel-based manicure varnishes. These compositions allow you to cover the nail plates with a bright, glossy coating, which, when hardened, forms a hard film. Gel polish is considered a strong, durable means of creating a manicure. But after some time, any, even the most impeccable manicure requires removal. To remove gel polish, various devices are used, but one of the most popular and convenient ones are the caps shown in the photo.
Caps
What it is
Nail caps for removing gel polish are plastic finger caps consisting of two parts. One part is intended for pouring liquid to remove the gel coating, the second is to be put on the fingers. This is a reusable device. Therefore, after each procedure, the caps must be thoroughly washed in a soapy solution. The main difference between caps and clips is that they act as small trays for each nail. In this case, there is no need to use cotton swabs or foil. All that is required to remove the persistent gel coating is plastic manicure caps and a special solvent liquid.

How to remove gel polish with a nail file??
Removing nail polish with a nail file
Of course, it is wiser to turn to the above methods. Filing the gel with a file can greatly damage the nail plate, so you need to act especially carefully. In salons, instead of a nail file, they use a milling machine. If you don’t have the skills to use it, it’s better to take a polishing file that is familiar to your hand.
Working with it is as follows:
- Without haste or force, remove the free edge of the nail. Alternatively, at this stage the file is replaced with tweezers.
- From the cuticle area to the edge, we begin to file away the gel. Again, without putting in extra effort.
- Dust will constantly form on the plate; it must be removed with a brush. Periodically wipe the entire nail with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab; this will degrease it and make it easier to remove any remaining gel.
- When the coating is removed, polish the nails with buff.
After all of the above steps, the nail plates are lubricated with oil or cream to strengthen. By the way, such manipulations require rest. It is not recommended to apply gel or even regular polish for the next week and a half. The recovery period is supplemented with baths and the use of vitamin complexes.
Application technology
Girls who have come across this device for the first time are wondering: how to use caps to remove gel polish? The technique is quite simple. Before you start washing off the gel coating, it is recommended to treat your nails with a nail file. So, we will remove the top, most durable layer and facilitate the process of removing decorative manicure. Then, pour a small amount of solvent into the cap’s container intended for liquid. Each fingertip should be approximately half full. We put the lower part of each clamp on the fingers and gradually lower the fingers into the container. To start the process, you need to secure the caps of the clothespins for removing gel polish on your fingers, as shown in the photo. After 20 minutes, the clips can be removed and the gel coating can be removed using an orange stick.
After all the nails are cleaned, you need to rinse the plastic manicure containers and pour cuticle oil into them. After holding your fingers in the oil solution for 3-5 minutes, you can complete the procedure. Thus, damaged nails will receive replenishment with a moisturizing complex.
Advantages
This type of nail design has a number of advantages:
- the result is ideally shaped nails;
Beautiful “arched” French
The procedure is quite lengthy compared to conventional extensions and takes 2-3 hours in the salon; modeling at home can take even longer, since the master has more opportunities to take into account the individual characteristics of each client.
What buyers say
It should be noted that reviews about gel polish remover caps are mostly positive. Provided you follow the instructions for use, the gel polish dissolves within the specified time. Some people note high solvent consumption. But, in the case of using foil or clothespins, poor quality peeling of the gel coating from the surface of the nail is often observed. This leads to the need to reuse cotton compresses. This means an increase in the consumption of special fluid.
Detailed instructions on how to use manicure caps are presented in the video.
Advantages of the device
- Easy to use.
- Reusable.
- Low cost.
- High efficiency.
- Availability for sale.
Thus, if you have not decided on what to choose: clothespins for fixing cotton compresses or finger pads, it is recommended to study customer reviews. Many people note that the process of removing gel polish using caps is much easier. By creating a kind of bath for each nail, a double effect is achieved. Firstly, the process of washing off the gel layer becomes simple. Secondly, thanks to thimbles, a thermal environment is created that accelerates the dissolution of the durable composition.
Main types
Today, manufacturers present a huge range of attachments for milling cutters. All of them are united by the type of construction: textile base and abrasive coating. Otherwise the components are completely different.
It is impossible to identify just a few types of grinding caps.
Such elements are usually classified according to the following characteristics:
- Shape : hemispherical (rounded tip), conical (narrowed tip), cylindrical (elongated shape);
- Size : large 11-16 mm (used when processing large surfaces), medium 8-10 mm (designed for grinding nails and skin), small 5-7 mm (designed for grinding minor irregularities);
- Grit : 60 Grit (such attachments are used to remove a thick layer of keratinized dermis, cracked heels), 80 Grit (used when treating calluses, corns), 150 Grit (intended for treating finger pads), 208-320 Grit (necessary for final grinding skin, nails).
Nozzles also differ in the type of abrasive coating. Sand caps are the most common. They are characterized by high efficiency and minimal cost. Some craftsmen use diamond bits in their work. Their distinctive features are a long service life (i.e., such a cap can be used several times for one client) and high cost (due to more expensive spraying). As for efficiency (in the fight against skin irregularities), both types of attachments are the same.

The most popular are Lukas abrasive caps, made by a well-known German company that has been producing them for over 80 years. All products of this company are of impeccable quality: the coating on the caps is fixed very reliably, so it does not become painted or fall off during operation. An additional advantage is the ergonomic shape, thanks to which the caps can be used to treat any area, as well as a wide range.
Caps made in South Korea are no less popular. Such products cost a little less than German nozzles, but at the same time they have a fairly good level of quality. Among manufacturers from South Korea, the most famous company is TNL Professional.
Is it possible to remove shellac at home?
In beauty salons and hairdressing salons, one of the most popular procedures is coating nails with shellac. This service was very popular with the fair sex due to its long-lasting effect.
Indeed, the gel coating can last about a month. But after this period, it still has to be deleted.
At this point, women are faced with a dilemma. Seek help from a professional, or remove the gel yourself.
By choosing the first option, you will spend about 500 rubles, but you will save time and maintain the health of your nails. The second option involves saving money, but will require certain knowledge and skills.
You can remove the gel coating at home, but in order not to harm your nails, you need to thoroughly study the procedure for removing shellac from nails.

I also clamp at the moment of polymerization of the gel. But by the time I reach the last step of extension, the arch still opens. What should I do? I work on KODI.

for 14 sec. start pressing and hold for 20 seconds without springing with tweezers, release the tweezers. and bake in the lamp for 2 minutes until complete polyomelization (time varies depending on the power of the lamp and your gel)
