Step 1: Remove excess nail length with a nail clipper, and if you want to keep a little more of your natural nails, it's entirely up to yourself.

Step 2: Use the e-file which should be set at a low speed to remove the poly gel layer away from your natural nails, please be careful when you use the e-file. Your nails look hard but are actually fragile, so don't hurt your nails, or even leave a little poly gel on the top of your nails, which can also be helpful with the next care.

Step 3: Clean the left poly gel on your nails with the 180 grit file, be gently or your nails will be hurt.

Step 5: Apply some cuticle oil to your nails to keep your nails smooth and bright and it's also helpful to repair your nails.

These processes are quite easy if you master the methods, you can prepare the tools so that you can deal with your nails whenever you like. However, I have to remind you that be careful when you use e-file, because your nails should be healthy so that you can make them beautiful.
