01
Gather everything you'll need
You'll need some liquid soap, some oil, some warm water and a bowl to mix them in. You'll also need a cuticle stick, buffing block and cuticle oil.
02
Add oil to warm water
Fill a bowl with water, making it as warm as is comfortable for you.
Add a few drops of oil - any type will work.
03
Add soap
Add a few drops of soap - either hand soap or dish soap is fine.
04
Mix and soak
Mix everything together and then leave your hand soaking in the bowl for at least 10 minutes.
05
Gently remove tips
Using a cuticle stick, apply gentle pressure to lift the press on nail up.
If it doesn't come easy, don't force it, just soak for a little longer
06
Buff nails
Once you have removed the press on nails, if any glue residue is left on your natural nail you can remove it by gently buffing.
07
Apply cuticle oil
Brush on some cuticle oil to each nail.
08
Done!
You're all done, and ready to apply a new set of press on nails any time you like.
