How To Take Off Press On Nails?

Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10–20 minutes

Gently lift an edge of the press-on nail with a plastic cuticle stick or your fingernail

If it doesn’t lift easily, soak again for another 5–10 minutes

Peel slowly away from the cuticle toward the tip

Remove any remaining adhesive by soaking in warm, soapy water again

Use 100% acetone on a cotton pad or nail wrap for 10–15 minutes if adhesive remains

Gently rub or slide off softened adhesive with a cotton pad or a soft nail buffer

Wash your hands and moisturize thoroughly after removal

Avoid forcing or scraping hard to prevent nail damage
