Hands up if you regularly succumb to picking off your gel manicure between salon appointments? It's easily done. Booking in a gel removal appointment at your local salon is the sort of life admin that's easy to put off. As for the best-known DIY option? Getting hold of an effective gel nail remover kit is difficult and once you have it, soaking pads of cotton wool with acetone and wrapping your fingers in individual foils, well, it's not exactly fuss-free.

This year though, TikTok has come up trumps. The app that gave us the instant facelift, the oat bath bomb, and a DIY make-up brush cleanser, has served up a one-step gel removal method that really works.

TikTokers can't get enough of Mylee's game-changing Magic Gel Remover, £9.99. It promises to remove gel polish in just six minutes - that's 2.5 times faster than the traditional foil method. The game-changing solution seems to really work too. Look the product up on TikTok and you'll see the product fizz up one the nail before it's removed. This has lead to some debate among TikTok users that the solution contains methylene chloride, a harsh chemical most commonly found in paint stripper, but the brand assures Grazia this is not the case.
