How to remove press-ons without damaging your nails
Taking a set off properly protects your natural nails and means you can wear the same set again.
- Soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes.
- Add a few drops of cuticle oil around the edges to loosen the glue.
- Gently lift from the sides with the cuticle stick — never pry from the tip.
- If a nail resists, soak for another 5 minutes. Patience beats force.
Once they are off, scrape the leftover glue from the press-ons, let them dry and store them in their tray for next time.
