How to remove press on nails? Removing press-on nails with tabs is a breeze, and the best part is they're reusable!
-
Gently Lift the Edges: Use the pointed end of the stick to gently lift the edges of the press-on nails. Start at one corner and work your way around the nail, being careful not to damage your natural nails.
-
Apply Oil or Acetone: If the press-on nails are adhered firmly, you can apply a small amount of cuticle oil or acetone around the edges to help loosen the adhesive.
-
Wiggle and Lift: Once the edges are lifted, gently wiggle the press-on nail back and forth while lifting it upwards. Avoid pulling forcefully, as this can damage your natural nails.
-
Cleanse Your Nails: After removing the press-on nails, cleanse your natural nails with soap and water to remove any remaining adhesive residue.
-
Moisturize: Apply a nourishing cuticle oil or hand cream to hydrate and nourish your nails and cuticles after removal.
