Removal Setup
1

Prepare Removal Tools

2 minutes

Gather acetone-free nail polish remover, cotton balls, aluminum foil, and a cuticle pusher.

Soak Cotton Balls

1 minute

Saturate cotton balls with acetone-free remover. Place on each nail and secure with foil.

3

Wait and Soak

10-15 minutes

Allow nails to soak for 10-15 minutes. This softens the adhesive for easier removal.

Gently push the press-on nail from the cuticle area. Never force or pull aggressively.

5

Clean Natural Nails

3 minutes

Remove any remaining glue with a buffer or gentle file. Clean nails with rubbing alcohol.

Nourish and Recover

2 minutes

Apply cuticle oil and hand cream. Let natural nails rest for 24-48 hours before reapplication.

Important Removal Don'ts

Never Force Removal

Pulling or forcing can damage your natural nail bed

Don't Use Sharp Tools

Avoid knives or scissors that could cut your skin

Skip the Hot Water

Hot water can make removal more difficult and painful

Don't Rush the Process

Take your time to ensure safe and gentle removal

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Nails Keep Lifting

Ensure natural nails are completely clean and dry before application
Use less glue - excess can cause lifting
Check nail size - too small nails may lift at edges
Avoid water for 2 hours after application

Nails Break Easily

File nails to a shorter length for added strength
Choose a rounded shape instead of square
Apply thin coats of strengthening base coat
Avoid using nails as tools

Glue Doesn't Hold

Make sure both surfaces are oil-free
Use fresh glue - old glue loses effectiveness
Apply thin, even layer of glue
Press firmly for 15 seconds minimum

Nails Feel Uncomfortable

Check if nail size is too small or large
File any sharp edges smooth
Ensure proper nail bed coverage
Remove if persistent discomfort occurs

Color Fading

Apply UV-protective top coat
Wear gloves during cleaning
Avoid prolonged sun exposure
Use acetone-free products only

Difficulty Removing

Soak longer in acetone-free remover
Use warm (not hot) water to soften glue
Apply cuticle oil around edges first
Never force - patience is key
