HOW TO REMOVE
Follow these steps for safe removal, so your natural nails stay healthy and your set can be reused.
Soak in Warm Soapy Water
Fill a bowl with warm (not hot) soapy water and soak your hands for 10-15 minutes. This helps loosen the adhesive so removal is gentle.
Pro Tip: If you used glue, you may need a bit longer soak time.
Add Oil Around the Edges
Apply cuticle oil, baby oil, or olive oil around the cuticle and side walls. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes so it can seep underneath.
Pro Tip: Oil helps the press-on slide off instead of pulling on your natural nail.
Gently Lift from the Sides
Using a cuticle stick, gently work from the sides, never from the top of your nail. Slowly wiggle the press-on until it starts to release.
Pro Tip: If it resists, stop, soak again, and add more oil.
Remove Without Peeling
Once the nail is loose, lift it off slowly. Do not peel or rip the nail off, this can damage your natural nail layers.
Pro Tip: Slow removal keeps your natural nails smooth and strong.
Clean Off Residue
For sticky tabs, roll the leftover tab off with your finger. For glue, gently buff residue from your natural nail and the press-on, then wipe clean.
Pro Tip: If needed, use a small amount of acetone on a cotton pad, avoid soaking the whole nail.
Wash and Hydrate
Wash your hands, then apply cuticle oil and hand cream. Your nails will feel instantly healthier and ready for the next set.
Pro Tip: Hydrated nails help your next application last longer.
