The Magic Base can be removed in two ways: with a remover or by carefully filing it off . Here you will find both options explained step by step:

Option 1: Remove with remover

This method is particularly gentle on your natural nails and easy to use:

  1. Preparation:

    • If necessary, trim the nails to the desired length with a file.
    • Carefully file the top layer of the Magic Base to allow the remover to penetrate better.
  2. Apply remover:

    • Soak a tissue or cotton pad generously with an acetone-based remover.
    • Place the soaked Zelette directly on the nail.
  3. Wrapping:

    • Wrap each finger with aluminum foil so that the Zelette stays securely on the nail.
    • Alternatively, you can use special puller clips that you clamp over the nails.
  4. Exposure time:

    • Allow the remover to work for about 10-15 minutes .
  5. Remove Magic Base:

    • Remove the aluminum foil and the tissue paper.
    • Gently push the softened gel off the nail using a rosewood stick or cuticle pusher. Work gently so as not to damage the natural nail.
  6. Aftercare:

    • Smooth the nail with a buffer to remove any residue.
    • Apply cuticle oil to nourish the cuticles and moisturize the nail.

Option 2: Removal by filing

This method is faster, but requires a little more caution to avoid damaging the natural nail:

  1. Preparation:

    • Use a coarse-grained file (e.g. 100/180) to remove the Magic Base.
    • File slowly and evenly to avoid going too deep into the natural nail.
  2. Remove layer by layer:

    • Work through the material layer by layer. Always leave a thin layer on the natural nail to protect it.
  3. fine-tuning:

    • Use a buffer to smooth the surface and remove any residue.
  4. Aftercare:

    • Polish the nail if necessary and apply a nourishing nail oil to regenerate the natural nail and cuticle.

Important tips:

  • Always be patient and work carefully to avoid damaging your natural nails.
  • Avoid ripping or scratching the gel as this may weaken the nail.
  • If your nails are subject to a lot of stress, give them a rest after removal and care for them regularly with a strengthening nail hardener or oil.

With these two methods you can remove the Magic Base safely and effectively – depending on your personal preferences!
