Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Bring on the long manicure — this smart home manicure hack will help you set your tenebras perfect.

We’ve all been there: you just painted your nails two days ago, and now you want to remove them. The perfect hack to avoid nail removal pain comes from Massage Therapies Australia, which has invented a procedure called “A Kind Therapy to Remove Nails” to get rid of unwanted rings. It’s similar to how you’d get rid of stretch marks, except this one works on your entire nail color.

Read on to find out the best way to do your nails with Massage Therapies Australia’s A Kind Therapy service.

How to A Kind Therapy:

1. Gather your equipment. This will include but not limited to the following: a dark nail polish brush, knobby scissors, nail polish remover, nail freshener, nail clippers, and a good tip.

2. Rest your hands and attention on your nails. Choose a middle part on your fingers for best separation. Get on your knees and sit down, elbows together and knee length. Also, lay your hands out and always keep your arms up so that the task won’t get messy or you’ll tumble down the stairs or something.

3. Turn the head of the scissors upwards and open the scissors to release as much nail polish as possible. You should aim to cover anywhere from half to three-quarters of your hand.

4. Squeeze your knobby head and pull your scalp towards your body. This motion helps pull out any dry residue.

5. Clamp the knobby end of the scissors up over your head, making a “V” shape. This will keep your hair from getting covered by the scissors as you remove the nail polish.

6. Repeat the same process to remove the next coat of polish. This will take about 10 minutes of going back and forth and only 15 minutes total for each polish.

7. Put on your compression socks, which helps with circulation as you breathe deeply while removing your nail polish. Put on the socks and relax your shoulders. Repeat the same process for the polish and finish.

8. Take your socks off and relax your shoulders by relaxing your wrists and palms. Repeat this process for the next coat of polish.

9. Wipe the polish off of your fingers and both nail caps. Pack your nail caps into a container you can put inside your refrigerator or freezer. You’ll want to make sure to do this the very first time so the caps won’t get warped or dirty in the process.
