How do I properly remove my nail enhancements at home?
Step 1: Use a 180-Â grit file to file off the topcoat of the nail and create grooves to help with soaking.
Step 2:Â Fill glass with 100% pure acetone. *TIP* If you have two glass bowls (one of which that can sit in the other) fill the bigger one with warm water and sit the acetone bowl in this. The heat from the warm water will help speed up the chemical reaction.
Step 3: Soak fingertips in acetone for 10 minutes. *TIP* If you have extremely dry skin or if you want to help with moisture you can coat your skin NOT THE NAILS with aquifer to protect it.
Step 4:Â Use a cuticle pusher to scrape off product and repeat steps
3-4 if necessary until natural nail is spotted.
Step 5: Buff nails using a 180+ grit file only.

How long do Wunderbar Nails Last?
Nails are jewels and not tools!
How long they last is a lot up to the person wearing them. I have had clients come back after 6+ weeks with all nails in tact, no lifting, or gem loss while others can break a nail in a week. If you do break a nail (1-2) due to whatever reason I will fix it for you free of charge. But if you have repeat problems I do have a $20 fee for touchups.
That being said:
Acrylic Sets Average 3-4 weeks
Gel-x Sets Average 2-4 weeks
Gel Polish Average 3-4 weeks
​
MMA is an outlawed product used to sculpt acrylic. The use of this chemical is permanently damaging to natural nail beds. This is a plastic meant to be permanent and not removed. When removed it comes off in a gummy and sticky consistency.
In this video we see how using MMA can be damaging to natural nail beds. Some faster than others.. If your nails soak off as a gummy consistency when taking off acrylic I would recommend discontinuing the service at this establishment.
How many Fill-ins can I Get?
I recommend doing fill ins as much as possible. A fill-in every 2-3 weeks is ideal to keep up with nail extensions. We should stick to 3-4 full soak off removals per year to keep your nails healthy. Some tips to prevent nail lifting:
​
1) Avoid Intense Heat and be especially careful within the first 24 hours
2) Use cuticle oil daily
3) Wear rubber gloves when washing up or avoid submerging nails in water for large periods of time
4) Wash your hands after handling suncream, chlorine, or other harsh chemicals.
5) Don't pick at your natural nail growth underneath!
How long have you been doing nails?
I have been doing nails for almost 3 years now. It has been a wonderful journey and with most of my clients requesting freestyles being able to be creative has been the biggest blessing. I apprenticed at Stillwater Nail Spa in Augusta/Evans area. They are my HIGHEST recommendation for a great pedicure or if you are not able to get in for an appointment with me in time.
