how to remove press on nails?

TLDR: To safely remove press-on nails, use methods like warm water and soap, acetone, or the foil and acetone technique. Always be gentle to avoid damaging your natural nails.

Removing press-on nails can be done effectively with a few methods. The warm water and soap method is gentle and ideal for nails applied with sticky tabs. Soak your nails in a solution of warm water, dish soap, and a bit of oil for 10-15 minutes, then gently lift the nails with an orange stick. If they resist, soak longer. For stronger adhesives, the acetone method is more effective. Soak your nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, then use an orangewood stick to remove the nails.

The foil and acetone method speeds up the process for stubborn nails. After roughing up the surface of the press-ons, soak a cotton ball in acetone, place it on your nail, and wrap it in foil for 15-20 minutes. After removal, always buff your nails and apply cuticle oil to keep them hydrated. Patience and care are crucial to prevent damage to your natural nails during the removal process.
