Please keep in mind that glue can typically last 2-3 weeks. Do not try to remove them the same day you've applied them, as that will definitely damage your nails. Again, please do not try to remove them on the same day you glued them on. Nails should come off without any damage to your natural nails; if you are looking for temporary wear (1-2 days) use the adhesive tabs provided in your kit.
The ideal time to remove your press-ons is when they’ve started to lift a bit naturally. At this point, you can proceed as follows:
1. Start by soaking your hands in warm soapy water for five minutes. This will help loosen the glue. (You can use dish soap for this part). Start moving you nails, if you notice that the nails won't budge, that means that you need to soak them longer.
2. Next, apply any sort of oil you have on hand—like olive, coconut, or avocado oil. The oils will seep into the spaces between and further loosen the glue. Plus, this will keep your hands and cuticles nice and hydrated. Use the wood stick in your kit to start moving them; do not force it, gently move it around the nail to help it pop off.
3. Lastly, use a gentle rocking motion to lift the press-ons from your nail beds.The longer you were your nails, the easier it will be to pop them off if you used glue. Turn you removal into a self-care session; play some relaxing music, light up a candle, grab a drink and relax while you take off your press-ons.
