Materials Needed:

1. Warm water
2. Mild liquid soap or dish soap
3. Bowl or basin
4. Wooden cuticle stick (included in your press-on nail kit)
5. Nail buffer or file
6. Nail oil or cuticle oil (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prepare Your Workspace:

• Find a comfortable, well-lit, and clean area to work in.
• Ensure all your materials are within easy reach.
1. Fill a Bowl with Warm, Soapy Water:

• Pour warm water into a bowl or basin. It should be comfortably warm, not too hot.
• Add a few drops of mild liquid soap or dish soap to the warm water. Mix gently to create a soapy solution.
1. Prep your nails:

• Apply a generous amount of cuticle oil to your cuticles and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
• Wipe off the excess oil off

4.  Soak Your Nails:

• Submerge your fingertips with the press-on nails into the warm, soapy water.
• Allow your nails to soak for approximately 10-15 minutes. This will help soften the adhesive underneath the press-on nails.

5. Test for Readiness:

• After soaking, gently try to lift one of the press-on nails with a wooden cuticle stick or orangewood stick. If it doesn't easily come off, continue soaking for a few more minutes.

6.  Remove Press-On Nails:

• Once the press-on nails have sufficiently softened, use the wooden cuticle stick to gently lift and push the press-on nail away from your natural nail. Start at the sides and work your way towards the center.
• If a press-on nail is stubborn, re-soak it for a few minutes and try again. Avoid using excessive force, as you don't want to damage your natural nails.

• Dry and place the nails back into the mold to be reused later

7.  Cleanse and Buff:                                                          

• After removing each press-on nail, use the wooden cuticle stick to gently remove any remaining adhesive from your natural nails. Be careful not to be too aggressive to avoid damaging your nails.
• If there is any residual adhesive, you can gently buff it away with a nail buffer or file. Be cautious not to over-buff, as this can weaken your natural nails.

8. Hydrate and Protect (Optional):

• After removal, you can apply nail oil or cuticle oil to your nails and cuticles to rehydrate and maintain nail health.
