What's A Nail Steamer And What Kind Of Polish Can It Remove?
By ZOE NOLZ
As much as we enjoy getting our nails done, trying to remove nail polish — especially if it’s a gel formulation — can be difficult and time-consuming. Now, people are looking to use nail steamers at home for easy nail polish removal.
Nail steamers use acetone to help you remove gel nail polish and acrylic nails in a timely manner with steam, however, nail steamers don’t typically work for traditional, basic nail polish. When trying a nail steamer, don’t over-soak the nails, and follow up with a moisturizer or cuticle oil.
Anyone looking to purchase a nail steamer can find some great options online like Bask LA Steam Pro (available on their website), the LAFGUR Nail Polish Remover Machine Nail Steamer (Walmart), and the Upgraded Steam Nail Polish Remover Machine (Amazon). All three are in the price range of $40 to $60.
