Soak

Dip your fingertips in the warm soapy water for a few minutes. The heat softens the adhesive tab.

Tip: a drop of oil in the water helps the tab release.

Lift from the side

Slide the stick under the side edge of the false nail, never from the cuticle. Lift gently while going around the edges.

Never force it

If it resists, soak for another minute and try again. Pulling suddenly can rip off a layer of your natural nail.

Tip: the right approach is patience rather than force.

Clean

Remove the remaining adhesive from your nail and the back of the false nail. Wash and dry everything.

Tip: to reuse your set, make sure you have new adhesive tabs.

Store for next time

Place each nail back by size into your box. They are ready for your next application.
