To remove ink stains from nails with gel, a solvent is required. Denatured alcohol, acetone, or a specific stain remover product can be used. Gel ink is more difficult to remove compared to traditional pen ink. It helps to soak the stained nail in milk if other products are not available. Apply the solvent and then dab the stain without rubbing. Rinse afterwards and, if possible, wash normally. For porous surfaces and wood, use solvents or a mixture of detergent and baking soda respectively. Some home remedies can be too aggressive. However, most stains can be removed with patience.
To remove the dye, start by washing your hands with a detergent if the stain is fresh. If it persists, use toothpaste or milk. Baking soda is useful for dark stains. Makeup remover or toothpaste can also be helpful. For fresh stains, use natural products or acetone with caution.
If the matte halo on gel nails is recent, use a cotton pad with oil to polish. Identify the cause of the stain to choose the appropriate treatment. Tissue paper and foundation can cause stains. Use gloves to protect nails from aggressive products. In case of stains, clean with a pad soaked in cleaner or acetone.
To remove pen marks, use a solution of Vanish Oxi Action powder in water. Soak and then wash the garment adding Vanish. Compare with detergent if the stain persists and use specific methods for water-based ink.
To remove hair dye from the skin, use a cotton ball dampened with cold milk. Prevent stains with precautions like gloves and nourishing cream around the hair. Cleansing milk or toner and natural remedies can be useful for removing stains.
Use a cotton pad with oil (even olive oil) on stained gel nails to polish the surface if the halo is recent. Detergents and baking soda can be useful for porous surfaces. Materials like tissue paper or foundation can stain nails. Use solvent without acetone or remove the final layer if necessary.
Clean nails with solvent and apply whitening toothpaste. Brush the nail surface. For persistent stains, let the toothpaste sit before rinsing. Another option is a cream with baking soda and warm water.
