How to Remove
Gentle removal keeps your natural nails healthy. Choose your product type below.
Important
Never force or pry nails off. Always soak and loosen first. Forcing removal can damage your natural nail surface.
Reusable Nails
Press-On Nails
Gentle soak-off removal. Press-ons are reusable — save them for next time!
1
Soak in Warm Water
Fill a small bowl with warm (not hot) water. Add a few drops of dish soap and a tablespoon of cuticle oil. Soak fingertips for 10-15 minutes to soften the adhesive.
- Warm water + soap + oil
- Soak 10-15 minutes
- Hot water can damage the press-on — keep it warm
2
Gently Lift the Edge
Use the wooden stick to gently lift one corner of the press-on. Slide the stick under the edge and work it around slowly. If it resists, soak for another 5 minutes.
- Use wooden stick — never metal tools
- Work slowly from edge to center
- Re-soak if it feels stuck
3
Ease Off & Clean
Once loosened, gently rock the press-on side to side and lift it off. Remove residual adhesive with rubbing alcohol. Wash and dry your natural nail.
- Rock side-to-side, don’t pry up
- Clean residue with alcohol pad
- Save the press-on — it’s reusable!
Pro Tip
Clean used press-ons with rubbing alcohol, store them in the original tray, and reapply with fresh adhesive tabs or glue. Each set can be worn 2-3 times.
Semi-Cured Gel
Gel Nail Strips
Two removal methods: soak-off for gentle removal, or peel-off for quick changes.
1
Soak Method (Recommended)
Saturate a cotton pad with acetone or gel remover. Place it on the nail and wrap with aluminum foil. Wait 10-12 minutes, then gently push the gel off with an orange stick.
- Acetone + cotton pad + foil wrap
- Wait 10-12 minutes
- Gel should slide off easily
2
Peel Method (Quick)
Apply cuticle oil around the edges. Gently lift one corner with the wooden stick and slowly peel the strip off. This is faster but may leave some residue — buff lightly to clean.
- Oil the edges first
- Peel slowly — never rip
- Buff any remaining residue
3
After Removal
Wash hands with soap and water. Buff the nail surface lightly to smooth any roughness. Apply cuticle oil and a nourishing hand cream to restore moisture.
- Wash and dry hands
- Lightly buff nail surface
- Apply cuticle oil + hand cream
