ONYXprofessional || Professional Gel Remover Complete Kit Review || Blossoms & Beauty

Hi Everyone!

Today I am coming at you with a brand new product review, a gel nail polish remover kit. About a month ago I went and had my nails done and for a month I debated trying to take the polish off myself, going in and have them take it off, or just getting my nails done again.

Gel nail polish always seems to ruin my nails if I get it done to much and usually when I try to get it off my nails end up completely disgusting. Luckily for me while I was at Walmart, getting supplies to take off my nail polish, I stumbled upon this kit from ONYXprofessional. Seeing that it was only around $6.00 I thought that I would give it a try and report my findings to all of you.

-----------------------------------

Let's Get Started!

-----------------------------------

Suplies:

professional soak off

professional cleanser

six square buffer pads

two picks

twenty foil wraps

ten cleansing wipes

Below: My nails after having gel on for a month. It did hold up pretty well but as you can see my pointer fingers had just started chipping so it was time to get it off, not to mention they were grown out way to far!

-----------------------

Step One:

Each foil wrap already has a cotton pad on it, all you have to do is soak the pad, careful not to get the soak off everywhere. Place the cotton pad on your nail and wrap the foil tightly around your finger. I left the foils on for three to five minutes, it does not take long at all!

Step Two:

Once you remove the foil you are going to want to take the pick and gently scrape off the gel polish, it should easily scarpe off, if it doesn't wrap your nail back in the foil and have it soak for a little while longer. As you can see below some polish was left on the tips of my fingers, this is where the buffers come in. Using the buffer, buff your whole nail, it actually smooths them out and gets rid of any extra gel polish that may have been left on your nails.

Step Three:

After buffing take the cleansing wipes and the cleanser and wipe your nails off with it. The cleanser is a miracle worker and made my disgusting (looking and feeling) nails look and feel so much better!

And their you have it gel polish taken off in a few simple and easy steps. I was not expecting this product to work as well as it did but I am very pleased with the product, my nails have never looked or felt this great after having gel polish on. For the price I think it is a great deal for all of the items you get and the result you will receive. I would recommend that you check out this kit.
