DIY Nail Wrap Removal Oil: A Quick and Easy Guide

Tired of harsh chemical removers that can damage your nails? Why not try a natural alternative? In this post, we’ll guide you on how to make your own nail wrap removal oil using simple ingredients.

What You’ll Need:

• Lemon Essential Oil
• Carrier Oil (such as jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil or olive oil)
• Small glass bottle with a dropper

Instructions:

1. Measure Your Ingredients:

   • Measure 5% lemon essential oil and 95% carrier oil. For instance, for a 50ml blend, use 2.5ml of lemon oil and 47.5ml of carrier oil.
   • Ensure you’re using high-quality ingredients to maximize the effectiveness and benefits of your oil.

2. Combine the Oils:

   • Pour both oils into the small glass bottle.
   • Seal the bottle tightly.

3. Shake Well:

   • Give the bottle a good shake to mix the oils thoroughly.

How to Use:

1. Prepare Your Nails:

   • Carefully lift a small corner of each nail wrap to allow the oil to penetrate the adhesive layer.

2. Apply the Oil:

   • Use a dropper to apply a few drops of oil under each nail wrap.
   • Use a rubber cuticle pusher to massage the oil under the wraps.

3. Remove the Wraps:

   • After a few minutes, the wraps should be loose enough to fall off.
   • If needed, use an alcohol swab to remove any remaining residue.

Why Use Lemon Essential Oil?

Lemon essential oil, a natural disinfectant with antibacterial properties, can effectively dissolve the adhesive layer found in both traditional nail polish and gel nail polish wraps. This natural approach to removal is less harsh on your nails compared to chemical-based removers.

Benefits of Using a Carrier Oil:

Carrier oils help to dilute the essential oil, making it safe to use on your skin. They also provide additional benefits, such as moisturizing and nourishing your nails and cuticles.

Additional Tips:

• Test for Sensitivity: Before applying the oil to all your nails, test it on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
• Store Properly: Store your DIY nail wrap removal oil in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency.
• Regular Nail Care: After removing your nail wraps, wash your nails with soap and water, then nourish them with a good quality nail oil or cream to keep them healthy and strong.

By making your own nail wrap removal oil, you can enjoy a gentle and effective way to remove your nail wraps while avoiding harsh chemicals.
