The Removal Process
Removing your press ons properly is key to keeping your natural nails healthy and your sets reusable.
Removing Adhesive Tabs
Quick & gentle removal
1. Soak your hands in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes
2. Gently lift the edges of the press on nail
3. Slowly ease the press on nail off—never force it
4. Remove any leftover adhesive from your natural nail or press-on
If needed, re-soak to loosen the tabs further.

Removing Nail Glue
For long-lasting sets
1. Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes
2. Gently lift the sides of the press on nails to allow water to seep underneath.
3. If still secure, soak cotton pads in acetone and place on each nail Note: that using acetone will make the nails less likely to be reusable
4. Wrap with foil and leave for 10–15 minutes
5. Gently remove the nails—do not pull or force
6. Buff away any remaining glue residue
Take your time —forcing removal can damage your natural nails.
