How to Remove Press-On Nails Safely
The safest removal method is slow and gentle. Never force a set off your natural nail.
Soak before lifting
Soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water with a little cuticle oil. Give the adhesive time to soften, then gently work around the edges with a wooden stick.
Do not pry or peel
If a nail does not move easily, soak longer and add more oil. Pulling or prying can remove layers from the natural nail.
Clean and moisturize
After removal, wipe away softened adhesive, wash your hands, and apply cuticle oil or hand cream. Store reusable nails in a dry container.
