Removing press on nails at home is relatively simple, but the following tools need to be prepared:
1. Nail clippers: used to cut off the edges of press on nails.
2. Nail file: used to polish the edges of press on nails to make them easier to remove.
3. Cotton balls or pads: used to soak nails and help soften glue.
4. Acetone or nail polish remover: Acetone is an effective ingredient for removing nail glue, but it should be noted that it may dry nails, so be careful when using it.
5. Olive oil or hand cream: used to moisturize nails and skin after removing press on nails.
6. Small bowl or container: used for soaking nails.
7. Tissue or clean cloth: used to wipe nails and remove residual glue.
8. Warm water
9. Wooden stick
After the tools are ready, the next steps are to remove the press on nails correctly according to the following steps:
1. Prepare soaking solution: Add warm water to a bowl and a few drops of mild liquid soap or oil to help soften the glue.
2. Soak nails: Soak your fingers in the solution for 10-15 minutes to loosen the glue. If the glue is stubborn, the soaking time can be extended appropriately.
3. Gently peel off: Use an wood stick to gently pry up the edge of the press on nails, starting from the base of the nail bed and gradually moving towards the fingertips. If encountering resistance, do not forcefully tear, continue soaking.
4. Clean the residual glue: use a cotton ball dipped with a small amount of acetone or nail polish remover to gently wipe the nail surface to remove the residual glue. You can also use a nail file to gently polish the remaining glue.
5. Moisturizing care: After removing the press on nails, use nail polish or hand cream to moisturize the nails and surrounding skin, preventing dryness.
When removing press on nails correctly at home, the following points should be noted to avoid damaging natural nails:
1. Avoid forced tearing: If the press on nails are not loose, do not forcefully tear them. Instead, continue soaking or use other methods to soften the glue.
2. Choose the appropriate soaking method: Use an wood stick to gently pry up the edge of the press on nails. If resistance is encountered, continue soaking.
3. Protect skin and nails: Avoid prolonged soaking. After removing the press on nails, use hand cream or nail polish to moisturize the nails and skin, preventing dryness.
4. Avoid excessive polishing: Excessive polishing may damage natural nails
5. Avoid continuous use: After removing press on nails, give natural nails some time to recover and avoid continuous use.
6. Do not overuse acetone, as it may cause dryness to the skin and nails. Moisturize promptly after use.
By following the above steps and precautions, press on nails can be safely removed while protecting the health of natural nails. By mastering the correct removal methods and using appropriate tools, the entire process can be ensured to be safe and efficient, while reducing reliance on nail salons.
