Time to Use Coconut Oil
Apply a generous amount of coconut oil to your hands and nails to speed up removal.
STEPS...
Soak Your Hands
Soak your hands in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes.
Gently Move the Nails
Carefully move the nails from side to side to help loosen them. Avoid pulling or forcing them, as this can damage your natural nails.
Use Cuticle Pusher & Rescue Stick
Use the provided cuticle pusher and rescue stick to gently loosen the nails from underneath without applying too much pressure. The nails should pop off easily — but be careful to avoid damaging your natural nails.
Nails Still Do Not Come Off
If certain nails do not come off, soak your hands again for 5 minutes and gently try loosening them once more.
Wash Your Hands
Once the press on nails are removed, wash them if you plan to reuse them. Don’t forget to wash your hands as well.
Buff & Apply Cuticle Oil
Use a buffer to gently remove any glue residue from your natural nails, then finish by applying cuticle oil to nourish and protect them.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Are you peeling your nails off too quickly instead of soaking them properly?
Peeling your nails off too quickly can damage your natural nails. If you used glue, wait at least a week before attempting removal. Soak your nails in warm, soapy water with coconut oil, and gently lift the edges to remove them safely.
Are you soaking your press on nails in acetone?
Soaking your press on nails in acetone will damage the nails and make them non-reusable. Acetone is also harsh on the skin. We recommend using hot, soapy water with coconut oil for a gentler removal that keeps your press ons reusable.
Did you give your nails some TLC after taking off your press ons?
After removing your press ons, it’s important to clean your natural nails thoroughly and trim them if needed. Be sure to use cuticle oil and hand moisturizer to keep your nails and hands healthy and strong.
Pro Tips for Proper Removal
Use warm water to help loosen the nails!
Using warm water helps soften the glue and the press on nails, making them easier to remove without causing damage. Cold water won’t loosen the adhesive as effectively, which can lead to peeling or breaking your natural nails.
Remove nails carefully to avoid damage!
It’s important to be patient and remove the press on nails carefully because pulling or rushing can cause your natural nails to peel, split, or become weak. Gently lifting the edges allows the nails to come off safely without causing damage.
