Here’s a tried and tested guide on how to safely remove your press on nails without damaging both your natural nails, and press ons so you can reuse them over and over again!
Here is a simple, step-by-step guide to help you remove your press-on nails safely.
Step 1: Take a hot shower
This is honestly the best hack — since the adhesive on your press-on nails will already be moist and damp after a hot shower, it makes them so much easier to remove.
Step 2: Soak Nails in Warm Water
For Sticky tabs Application
In a glass of warm soapy water, add a generous amount of oil then soak your nails in it for about 10-15 minutes.
For Glue Application
In a glass of warm water, add a generous amount of salt and soak your nails in it for about 10-15 minutes. The science here is that salt dissolves glue ;)
Step 3: Gently Lift the Edges
After soaking, gently lift the edges of the press-on nail using a cuticle stick. It should come off easily, if it doesn't, soak your nails a little longer. Never force the nail off, as it may damage your natural nails.
Step 4: Buff, Buff
If there's any glue residue left on your natural nails or press ons, gently buff it off using the nail buffer. Be careful not to buff too hard as this can damage your natural nails or press ons.
Step 5: Rinse & Repeat
Don't forget to rinse and sanitise your press-on nails before returning them to the nail kit for the next use!
Step 6: Hydrate Your Nails
After you've removed the press-on nails, it's essential to hydrate your natural nails. Apply a nourishing cuticle oil to your nails and cuticles to restore moisture and keep them healthy.
The key to safely removing press-on nails is patience and gentle care. Following these steps can help ensure that your natural nails stay strong and healthy, even after enjoying the convenience and style of press-on nails.
End.
