How to remove pressons without damaging natural

2025/6/1 Edited to

... Read moreRemoving press-on nails can be a delicate task if you want to preserve your natural nails. Thankfully, there are several methods to do this safely. One effective technique is to soak your nails in warm water for about 15 minutes, which will help loosen the adhesive, making the press-ons easier to remove. You can also use a gentle nail polish remover that is acetone-free, as it’s less harsh on the nails compared to those containing acetone. Another recommendation is to use specific nail glue removers designed for acrylic and press-on nails, such as EXSIVIA or YSIVA nail glue remover. These products are formulated to dissolve the adhesive effectively without damaging your natural nail. Apply the remover according to the instructions, typically by soaking a cotton ball with the solution and holding it against the press-on for 10-15 minutes. After removal, ensure to moisturize your nails and cuticles to keep them hydrated. Avoid any activities that could stress your nails as they recover, and it’s advisable to take breaks between wearing press-ons to allow your nails to breathe. By following these tips, you can enjoy the aesthetic of press-on nails without compromising the health of your natural nails.
