Picking off gel nails with teeth

[Nubnut]

My mum does this. This is really dangerous right, aren’t they full of chemicals? When I’ve chewed one of my own (sorry gross) it tastes horrible. It’s basically toxic glue isn’t it? Also are some brands made in china and way more chemical filled?

It is disgusting..I assume she isn't swallowing the nails, she needs to buy a bottle of acetone for removing them, or pay a tenner.

Acetone only removes ordinary varnish no?

No it softens the gel. Before electrical files, they used acetone.
Soak a piece of cotton wool, pop it on each nail, wrap the nail and cotton with tinfoil for 5 minutes, they'll lift off.

It’s not great, but more likely to rip the nails by biting off.
Acetone melts the gel when left on long enough but makes the skin very dry, a quicker way I find is to by the brush on gel remover from Amazon, then the gel just flakes off easily after 5-10mins, full of chemicals again, but is is quick, don’t get it on skin and wash hands really well after.

lightky coke the nail surface with a nail file then Soak them in acetone nail varnish and you’ll be able to scrape them off.

I tried this as a money saver, on biab, it destroyed my own nail. I have strong nails, my nails were weak for months afterwards.
