How to get press on nails off
How to remove press on nails properly is essential to protect your natural nails and ensure your press-on nails remain reusable. It's important to learn how to take off press on nails. Below, we detail the removal process for both Jelly Glue and UV Jelly Glue applications.
1. Removing Press-On Nails Applied with Regular Jelly Glue
Regular Jelly Glue is designed for short-term wear (1–2 days) and allows for an easy removal process. Follow these steps:
1. Soak in Warm Water:
• Prepare a bowl of warm, soapy water (you can add a few drops of dish soap).
• Soak your hands for 2–5 minutes to loosen the adhesive.
2. Gently Pry Off the Nails:
• Starting at the edges of the press-ons, gently lift them using a cuticle stick.
• Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging your natural nails.
3. Clean Residue:
• After removing the nails, use an alcohol pad or acetone-free nail polish remover to clean any remaining glue from your natural nails.
• Wash your hands thoroughly and moisturize with hand lotion or cuticle oil.
2. Removing Press-On Nails Applied with UV Jelly Glue
UV Jelly Glue is formulated for long-lasting wear (up to 15–30 days) and requires a more specialized removal process to protect your natural nails. Follow these steps:
1. Soak in Warm Water or Nail Remover Solution:
• If the nails are not lifting easily, prepare a bowl of warm, soapy water or use a non-acetone nail polish remover.
• Soak your hands for 10–15 minutes to soften the glue.
2. Loosen the Glue:
• Using a cuticle stick, gently push underneath the edges of the press-ons to loosen the adhesive.
• Avoid prying too hard to prevent damaging your nails.
3. Clean and Moisturize:
• Remove any leftover glue with a buffer or nail file.
• Wash your hands and apply cuticle oil to keep your nails hydrated and healthy.
⚠️Important Tips
• Never peel or force the press-on nails off, as this can damage your natural nails and compromise the reusability of the press-ons.
• Always be patient and take your time during the removal process to maintain the integrity of both your natural nails and the press-ons.
