How To Remove Our Soft Gel Press-Ons
Removing your set should feel as gentle as putting it on. Never force or pull off. This page walks you through soft, damage‑free removal and simple aftercare so your natural nails stay smooth, strong, and ready for the next wear.
- Soak nails in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes to soften the bond before you start. A bit of dish soap can be used for this
- For stubborn nails you can soak for a few minutes in a gentle remover solution
- Gently wiggle a cuticle stick around the edges to work the nail loose. Most of the time the nail will pop right off if you patiently work at it.
- If a nail is stubborn, stop and re‑soak instead of forcing it.
- If you used a lot of glue, expect removal to take longer. Slow and gentle is the goal, not speed.
- After removal, wash hands thoroughly and use a buffer on any stubborn glue.
- Apply cuticle oil around each nail to recondition the area.
- Follow with a hand lotion to moisturize and rehydrate your skin.
- If nails feel sensitive, give them a short breather (a few days) before the next application.
- If you notice any irritation, pause use and let nails recover before wearing another set.
- Don’t peel or rip the nails off. This can cause injury and is bad for the natural nail.
- Don’t use metal tools under the nail that can gouge or scratch the natural nail.
- Don’t force a nail that won’t budge. Re‑soak instead of pulling.
- Don’t use harsh household chemicals or acetone on skin.
