Materials Needed:

Steps:
- Gently Loosen Edges:
- Start by gently loosening the edges of the press-on nails. You can use a cuticle stick or a wooden orange stick to lift the edges slightly.
- Soak in Warm Water:
- Fill a bowl with warm water and soak your fingertips for 5-10 minutes. This helps to soften the adhesive.
- Use Nail Polish Remover or olive or coconut oil:
- Soak a cotton ball or pad in acetone-free nail polish remover. Place the soaked cotton ball on top of the press-on nail and wrap your fingertip with aluminum foil. Repeat for each nail.
- Wait and Gently Rub:
- Allow the nails to soak for another 5-10 minutes. Afterward, gently rub the press-on nails to help loosen the adhesive. If resistance is felt, re-soak the nails for a few more minutes.

How to properly care with my press on nails?
Here are some tips on how to properly care for your press-on nails to make them last longer:
- Prepare your nails: Before applying press-on nails, make sure your natural nails are clean, dry, and free of any oils. Use a nail file to lightly buff your nails to create a slightly rough surface that will help the press-on nails adhere better.
- Apply carefully: When applying the press-on nails, make sure to apply them carefully and evenly. Press down firmly and hold each nail for a few seconds to ensure they stick properly.
- Avoid water soaking: Avoid getting your press-on nails wet for at least four hours after application of adhesive tabs. Early water touch can weaken the adhesive and cause the nails to lift or fall off.
- Use gloves: If you need to do heavy household chores or any activity that involves chemicals, wear gloves to protect your press-on nails.
- Be gentle: Avoid using your nails as tools or picking at them, as this can cause them to lift or break.
- Remove carefully: When it’s time to remove your press-on nails, soak them in warm water for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive. Then gently lift them off, using a nail file or cuticle pusher if needed, to avoid damaging your natural nails.
By following these tips, you can help your press-on nails last longer and maintain their appearance. More details see our blog HERE.
Adhesive tabs or glue?
We suggest adhesive tabs that are ultra-slim, water-persistent and time-proof sticky, thank to the new generation product, like 3M adhesive tabs. It is also easier to take off the press-on from the adhesive other than the glue that may break the press-on if you don’t peel it carefully. After the adhesive fully takes effective, it can even bear to peel the fruit and touch water for chore.
The press ons can be reused several time by applying adhesive tabs while possibly one time if you use glue without proper removal but that last much longer time even one month w
Tips
It is best to meet the water after at least 4 hours you applied the adhesive. Too long time water soaking (like hours of swimming) can also weaken it and cause the nails to lift or fall off.
To Remove Press-on Nails That Are Attached With Adhesive Tabs
1. First, apply rubbing alcohol or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer around the edges of the extensions and wait 30 seconds – This helps loosen the adhesive tabs.
2. Next, gently rock the extensions from side to side to lift them off your nail beds – You can apply more rubbing alcohol throughout the process until the press-ons come off.
3. Once they’re off, give the backs of the press-on nails a quick wipe down with rubbing alcohol to make sure you fully remove any remnants of the adhesive. This will keep them in good condition so you can reuse them.
