In "How to Put on Press on Nails in 5 Minutes? Must Read for Beginners', we talked about the two ways of wearing press on nails using jelly glue and solid glue. Today, we will introduce how to remove press on nails using these two different glues.
Wrong Way to Remove Press on Nails
I believe everyone has tried the nail tips removal method shown in the picture. Not only did it fail to remove the nail tips safely, but it also caused serious damage to the original nails, making it impossible to wear nail polish again in a short period of time.
In order to prevent press on nails lovers from encountering the above situation again, DH Nails will introduce the correct nail tips removal method to everyone below.
How to Correctly Take Press on Nails off
Preparing Tools
Warm water or alcohol: Used to soften glue or pectin for press on nails.
Small wooden stick or crystal stick: used to gently pry the nail off from the joint between the nail and the nail tip.
Alcohol pads or nail polish remover (optional): Used to clean glue or pectin residue from nails.
Nail buffer(Optional): Use to polish fingers after removal to make the nail surface smoother.
Jelly Gel Press on Nails Removal Guide
Use warm water soak
1. Prepare a bowl of warm water, the temperature does not need to be too high, about 40 degrees. Soak your hands in warm water for about 5 minutes, which will soften the glue and facilitate subsequent removal.
Gentle peeling
2. Use the sloped side of a wooden stick to lift the edge of the nail piece, then slide it back and forth to separate the glue. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the nail. If you encounter resistance, soak it again until the nail tip is completely loosened.
Glue residue treatment
3. Use the tip of a wooden stick to remove excess glue from the nail surface and nail plate, then wipe it dry with an alcohol cotton pad.
Solid Glue Nail Remover Guide
1. Mix alcohol and water in a ratio of 1 alcohol to 2 water. This will prevent the nail polish from turning white and affect the secondary use of the nail polish.
2. Use the bevel of a small wooden stick to pry open a gap from the edge of the nail tips and spray a little water-contained alcohol into the gap. After two seconds, continue to slide the small wooden stick into the gap and continue to spray water-contained alcohol (repeat several times)
3. After removing the nail tips, continue to use a small wooden stick to pick up the solid glue on the nail or nail tips, and then spray it with water-concentrated alcohol to separate the glue from the nail plate.
Precautions for Removing Press on Nails
Wash your hands before operation: Wash and dry your hands before removing the press on nails to avoid introducing impurities or bacteria during the operation.
Protect your nails: When prying off the fake nails, try to keep the integrity of the nails and avoid excessive pulling or scratching of the nails.
Avoid frequent replacement: Although press on nails can be used repeatedly, frequent replacement may cause some damage to the real nails. Therefore, it is better to control the replacement frequency appropriately.
Storage of press on nails: Removed press on nails can be stored in a clean nail tip storage box for next use. Be careful to keep the storage box clean and dry to prevent mold growth.
