The best way to remove nail repair, especially press-on nails or glue, is typically by soaking your fingertips in acetone.
Here's a breakdown of the recommended method:
-
Soaking in Acetone:
- Pour a shallow amount of acetone into a bowl. Make sure it's enough to cover your nails.
- Soak your fingertips in the acetone for about five minutes. This will soften the adhesive.
- Check if the press-ons or glue are lifting. If not, soak for a few more minutes, checking periodically.
- Once the adhesive has softened, the nail repair should lift off easily. Avoid prying, as this can damage your natural nails.
Important Considerations:
- Read the Label: Always consult the product's instructions for specific removal guidelines.
- Avoid Prying: Prying off press-ons or glued-on nails can peel layers of your natural nail, causing damage.
- Acetone Precautions: Acetone can be drying to the skin. Moisturize your hands thoroughly after removal.
- Alternative Products: Some nail repair products might have specific removal solutions available. Check with the manufacturer or retailer.
