Gel manicure devotees love them because gel nail polish stays on nails without chipping or peeling for weeks. That's huge — especially for moms who know that regular nail polish just isn't cut out to survive the mom life. The problem is that while gel manicures are low-maintenance in terms of staying on, they are super high-maintenance when it comes to taking them off.

But that's not practical, especially right around NOW. That's why we thought it would be a good time to share how you can safely remove gel nail polish at home.
