How to Remove My Press-On Nails
Quick Reminders
- ❌ Don't pull, pry, or peel your nails off dry.
- ✅ Soak first, and go slow.
- ✅ Keep your wooden stick and jelly glue tabs in the same box as your nails.
Step 1
Soak your hands
Fill a bowl with warm water and add a little hand soap if you like. Soak for 5 to 10 minutes. The warm water softens the jelly glue.
Step 2
Lift the edge
Gently slide the wooden stick into the gap at the side of a nail and lift it just a little. Don't pry from the cuticle end.
Step 3
Ease each nail off
Once the glue feels soft, slowly slide the nail off. Never yank or pull hard. If it resists, soak for a few more minutes.
Step 4
Clean the nails
Gently scrape any leftover glue off the back of each nail with the wooden stick. Don't sand the inside, or the nails won't fit as well next time. Wipe them clean and store them in their box.
Step 5
Clean your natural nails
Push off any leftover glue with the wooden stick, then wipe with a rubbing alcohol pad.
