Remove the Press-ons
Step 1: Soak your nails
Soak your nails in warm water with hand soap for 10 minutes (add cuticle oil for a gentler removal).
Step 2: Remove the Press-on Nail
If you are using Glue pads: gently slide the Woodstick under the edges. Lift the Press-on Nail off.
If you are using Nail Glue: gently slide the Woodstick under the edges and add a few drops of Remover to dissolve the glue. Slowly lift the Press-on Nail off. If it does not come off easily, add more Remover between the nail and the Press-on Nail.
Step 3: Nail care
Gently massage the Cuticle Oil into the cuticles using soft, circular motions for optimal absorption.
How to reuse your Press-ons?
Did you know you can reuse your press-on nails if you remove them carefully? With the right care and proper storage, you can wear them again — which is not only budget-friendly but also a more
sustainable choice.
Whether you’ve used Nail Glue or Glue Pads, follow these simple steps to keep your press-ons in perfect condition for their next wear.
Step 1: Remove Nail Glue or Glue Pads
If u used Nail Glue:
Gently scrape off any leftover glue from the inside of the nails. Use a cuticle pusher or an Woodstick to remove the residue. Getting rid of glue build-up helps the nails fit more comfortably and securely the next time you apply them.
If you used Glue Pads:
You’ll probably see the glue tabs still stuck in the inside of the press-on nails. Carefully peel them off with your fingers or use a wood stick to lift the edges.
Step 2: Clean and dry
Once all Glue or Pads are removed as above, clean your press-on nails with a bit of cleaner on a nail wipe to disinfect them and remove any oils, dust or bacteria. Let them air dry completely.
Step 3: Store safely
Store your press-ons in their original box. This keeps them organised and protected from dust and bending. Always keep them in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight or heat to prevent them from losing their shape or colour.
