Place Paper Towel & Acetone In

Place the warmer on a level, heat-resistant, and clutter-free surface. To prevent damage to furniture, place a towel or paper towel underneath the warmer.

Next, place a paper towel into the bottom of the bowl to cover the bottom. Pour just enough acetone into the ceramic bowl to cover the nail surface. Place a lid securely on the bowl.

Turn On Device

Start the device by inserting the plug into the wall outlet. Turn the switch once until you hear it click. The indicator light should illuminate to signify the heating element turning on. Wait for the acetone to warm up to a comfortable warm temperature. Warming times will vary based on how much acetone is in the bowl and the ambient temperature of the room, but this shouldn’t take longer than 5-10 minutes. While the Magic Soak is heating in the meantime you can prep your nails for removal.

Prep Nails for Removal

We want to reduce exposure to drying acetone so proper prep before soaking is super important.

File off top layers of the product using a gritty nail file. File back and forth across the nail until you remove most of the bulk. It's recommended to use a sharp nail file to make the process more efficient. Be careful not to file the natural nail. If you want shorter nails, trim the tips before filing. The nail tips, similar to hair ends, are oldest and dry, making removal more difficult.

Apply Blissful Blooms Cuticle Oil or hand cream on the skin around the nails. This prevents residue from sticking to your skin and keeps cuticles from drying out.

Submerge Hands

Once you are done, check if the acetone has reached a warm temperature to the touch and submerge your fingers in the acetone inside the ceramic bowl. To speed up removal, rub your nails against the paper towel placed at the bottom of the ceramic bowl. This will absorb the dissolved product from your nails and help to penetrate the acetone deeper.

For stubborn acrylic or gel, withdraw your nails from the acetone and use the scraper tool gently scrape off the product towards the tip of the nail.

Re-soak your nails as needed until all the product is fully dissolved off the nail. Remember that product will start hardening back up when exposed to air, so don’t keep your hand outside the bowl for too long and only scrape one nail at the time.

Switch Hands

During the removal process, it is important to be gentle and patient. Never force, pick, or peel the product off the natural nail. Picking can cause damage to your natural nails. Re-soak your nails as needed until all the product is fully dissolved off the nail.

You can reuse the acetone for your other hand. Feel free to remove and replace the paper towel inside the bowl to avoid transferring any melted product onto your other hand.

Wash your hands with soap and warm water. This not only cleanses the skin but also prepares it for cuticle care. Damp skin softens the cuticles, making them easier to trim and push back. If you plan to trim or push back your cuticles, now is the ideal time to do so.
