How do I safely remove press-on nails?Updated a month ago
Let’s take them off gently. Here are a few simple steps:
- Soak: Place your hands in warm, soapy water with a skin-safe oil (coconut, olive, castor, or vitamin E) for about 10 minutes to help loosen the adhesive.
- Lift gently: Use a cuticle stick to softly lift around the edges.
- Soak again if needed: If the nail still feels secure, keep soaking until it loosens. You can add a few drops of skin-friendly oil (like cuticle oil) to help soften the edges, or use our Nail Remover for a smoother removal.
- Clean up: After removal, lightly file away any leftover glue from your natural nails.
- Avoid pulling: Don’t pull or force nails off without soaking, which can cause discomfort.
