Press-on nails are an easy and stylish way to achieve salon-quality nails without the time commitment or cost. Whether you're new to press-ons or a seasoned pro, knowing how to remove them correctly is just as important as applying them. In this blog, we'll guide you through the best methods for removing your press-on nails at home, ensuring your natural nails stay healthy and ready for your next beautiful set.

 

How Long Do Press-on Nails Last?

One of the best things about press-on nails is their versatility. The wear time of your press-on nails depends on the adhesive used. With sticky tabs, you can wear them for 3-7 days. For a longer hold, our solid nail glue gel lets you enjoy your press-ons for up to 1 month! Either way, our nails are handcrafted with salon-grade materials and reusable for life.

 

How to Remove Press-on Nails Using Warm Water

Removing press-on nails at home is quick and easy if you follow the right steps. One of the most popular and gentle methods is using warm water. Here’s how to do it:

• Prepare Warm Water

Fill a bowl with warm water, adding soap and oil for faster removal.

• Soak Your Nails

Soak your nails for 10 minutes to loosen the adhesive.

• Lift the Press-on Nails

Use the complimentary wooden stick to gently lift the press-on nails from the edges. If they’re not coming off easily, re-soak and try again.

• Remove Residual Glue

Use the stick to gently scrape away any remaining glue.
