Using the MelodySusie Nail Drill.
MelodySusie
If you did the extension with acrylic powder or poly gel (which is difficult to remove with the nail file), MelodySusie suggests using a nail drill to remove it.

Perfecting the nails.
MelodySusie
If you are new to using a nail drill and are concerned about damage, try lowering the drill speed and using a safety bit.

The steps to beautiful nails.
MelodySusie
5.1 Apply the base coat
No need to buy another base coat; MelodySusie 24+4 gel polish kit already includes a base coat and two kinds of top coats - matte and glossy.
To prevent uneven coloring or exposing the underlying nail tips, MelodySusie recommends applying at least two coats of nail gel polish.
For a long lasting manicure, never skip the top coat. Shown here is the matte top coat.

Cold weather calls for hand care.

Remember to use hand cream to perfect your look.

A sparkling manicure.

Now enjoy your finished nail art!
What is the most important step in a manicure?
Absolutely filing. Like building a house, the foundation determines whether a house is solid or not. Filing is the same. Filing will keep the manicure long-lasting.
Are nail files safer than nail drills?
Not necessarily. According to MelodySusie, a nail drill can ensure that the process of removal is smooth and balanced. As we mentioned above, you could try lowering the drill speed and using a safety bit if you are afraid of damaging the nail.
