Press-on nails are now a favorite choice for individuals and nail professionals for their convenience, diversity, protection, temporary nature, and cost-effectiveness, suitable for a wide range of user groups and application scenarios.
Press-on nails are reusable due to the sticking technology (such as double-sided tape or stickers) and the durability of the design, so it is very important to learn how to remove press-on nails correctly and safely. In this article, we will take you to understand what press-on nails are and their use, as well as the most important topic: how to remove press-on nails safely and quickly.
What are press-on nails?
Press-on nails are pre-made artificial nails that are easy to understand from the name - they are pressed onto real nails and glued. They are usually made of plastic or resin and come in a variety of shapes, colors and designs, which can be selected according to personal preferences and occasions. Compared with traditional nail extension techniques (such as glue, light curing, etc.), press-on nails are easy to use, quick to replace and relatively low-cost. This makes them a choice for many people to quickly get beautiful nails at home or when traveling.
In order for us to better understand the process of removing them, we also need to understand how they are applied.
When we use press-on nails, we use: press-on nails, jelly glue stickers, or nail glue.
The first step is to make sure your natural nails are dry, clean, and trimmed the way you like. If needed, you can lightly sand the surface of the nail to make it easier to adhere.
The second step is to apply glue. If you are using jelly stickers, just choose the right size jelly stickers and stick them on. Tear off the plastic and stick your press-on nails on and hold for 5 seconds.
If you are using nail glue, take a brush and apply a thin layer of glue on your nails. Be careful to use a small amount of glue. If you use too much glue, it may be difficult to remove the nails, and it may damage your natural nails over time. After applying the glue, take the press-on nails and press each nail into the glue for 30 seconds. They will dry quickly, but you still need to be careful with your nails after applying. Finally, you can also file and trim as needed.
Now that you know how press-on nails get attached to your nails, let’s look at how to properly and safely remove them!
