For anyone who consistently gets gel manicures - what should you ask your nail technician to do if you want to stop gel manicures short term to save money? (2 or 3 months). Should I ask for a buff and shine and transition to ‘natural’ nails from there? I want to keep my nails healthy and also see if I can not bite my nails without getting a manicure. Been getting them for a year and don’t bite now

Is it important to you for a nail technician to do it? You could do a buff and ridge filler at home until your nails grow out. A nail hardener and cuticle oil helps the transition. I give myself manicures and do my own gel polish now.

Makes sense, nail health first.

I use a mini buff block (from Amazon) to take off the top layer and then acetone for the rest. I use orly nail bonder as a base coat, and I think that facilitates getting the gel off easier with acetone since the polish isn’t cured directly to the nail.
