How to Remove Gel Polish in Just 1 Minute

2 min to read
Gel polish offers a long-lasting, salon-quality manicure, but traditional removal methods can be a nightmare for your nails. Luckily, Manucurist’s Green Flash Gel Polish provides a safer, faster, and gentler alternative—allowing you to remove gel polish in just one minute without compromising nail health.

 

The Problem with Traditional Gel Polish Removal

Traditional gel polishes are designed to bond tightly to your nails, which makes removal a tedious and often damaging process. The standard method involves soaking nails in acetone for 15–20 minutes, followed by scraping or filing to remove any remaining polish. This approach can:

  • Dry out your nails and skin, leaving them brittle and dehydrated.
  • Weaken natural nails, making them prone to peeling and breaking.
  • Cause keratin damage through repeated scraping and filing, leaving nails thin and fragile.
While many people accept these drawbacks as part of the gel manicure experience, there’s a better way!

 

 

What Makes Green Flash Different?

Green Flash by Manucurist is a revolutionary gel polish that eliminates the need for harsh removal practices. Unlike traditional gels, it is formulated without methacrylate monomers like HEMA, which are known to cause allergic reactions and damage keratin fibers. Instead, Green Flash uses flexible, durable polymers that:

  • Protect Nail Health: No more thinning or weakening of your natural nails.
  • Enable Quick Removal: The polish releases in just one minute using a gentle, acetone-free remover.
  • Provide Hypoallergenic Benefits: Free of sensitizing ingredients, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

 

How to Remove Green Flash Gel Polish in 1 Minute

1. Apply the Remover
Saturate a reusable cotton pad with Manucurist’s Natural Nail Polish Remover, a plant-based formula that is kind to both your nails and the planet.
2. Secure the Pad
Place the soaked pad over your nail and secure it with a removal clip or wrap. Ensure full coverage for optimal effectiveness.
3. Wait for 1 Minute
Green Flash’s innovative polymer formula allows the polish to dissolve quickly—no scraping, soaking, or waiting for extended periods.
4. Wipe Away
Remove the clips or wraps and gently wipe your nails. The polish will lift off effortlessly, leaving your nails healthy and intact.
5. Hydrate and Care
Complete the process by applying a nourishing cuticle oil to keep your nails hydrated and strong.
