Use Heat + Natural Oils for Instant Gel Polish Removal

Here’s the secret: warm sesame oil + gentle scraping = instant results.

Why this works:
The heat from warm oil softens the polymerized gel layer within seconds, making it easy to lift and remove. Natural oils like sesame, coconut, or jojoba penetrate the polish bond while nourishing your nails.

How to do it:

1. Prepare your tools: Warm up 1–2 tablespoons of sesame oil in your hands or on a cotton swab. Make sure it’s just warm — not hot.
   
2. Apply the oil: Dab a generous amount directly onto the gel nail polish. Use a cotton pad or swab to rub it in gently over the nail surface.
   
3. Scrub and lift: While the oil melts the gel, lightly scrape the nail with a VEGA dotting tool or orange stick (plastic-free nail scraper). The combination of heat and gentle friction breaks down the gel layer rapidly.
   
4. Rinse & buff: Once loose, wipe off the oil and gel polish with a soft cloth. Finish with a nail buffer (optional) to smooth your freshly polished nails.
