Why wrap your hands in foil

It seems that wrapping your hands in aluminum foil is useful for removing nail polish from your nails. Aluminum produces heat, so it makes it easier to remove nail polish. First of all, it is better to file the nails carefully, to remove the nail polish without damaging the nails.

To remove the gel from your fingernails and toenails, simply cut pieces of tin foil. After soaking cotton pads with acetone, they must be applied to the nails and then covered with aluminum pieces.

Once you have covered each nail with cotton and tinfoil, you have to wait for about ten to fifteen minutes. All nails should be covered with a small cotton and foil cap. After the processing time, both the aluminum foil and the disks can be removed, to have nails free of any residual nail polish.
