Step 1: Soak Nails in Warm Soapy Water

Soak your hands in a bowl of warm water with soap for 10 to 15 minutes.

Why this matters:
The warm water and soap help loosen the adhesive, making the nails easier to remove. This softens the glue bond so you do not have to force the nails off, which can cause damage.

Step 2: Use a Cuticle Pusher to Gently Lift the Nail

Using a cuticle pusher, carefully begin to lift the edges of the press-on nail.

Why this matters:
This step helps separate the press-on from your natural nail without pulling or tearing. Starting at the edges allows you to gradually break the seal instead of forcing it off all at once.

Step 3: Gently Rock the Nail from Side to Side

As the nail begins to lift, gently rock it side to side while continuing to loosen it.

Why this matters:
Rocking the nail helps release the remaining adhesive evenly. This reduces the risk of peeling layers off your natural nail and makes the removal process smoother and safer.

Step 4: Disinfect Nails and Store for Future Wear

Once removed, clean off any leftover glue, disinfect your press-ons, and store them properly.

Why this matters:
Proper cleaning keeps your nails sanitary and ready to reuse. Storing them safely helps maintain their shape and design so you can get multiple wears out of each set.
