Option 1:
Removing your press-ons is easy and damage-free! Simply soak your nails in a bowl of warm water with 1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and 1 tablespoon of oil (such as cuticle oil, kitchen oil, or body oil) for 10-15 minutes. After soaking, gently use a wooden cuticle stick to wedge off the nails.
Note: Some nails may take a bit longer to come off, depending on how much glue was used and how long they've been on.

Yes! Our nails are designed to be durable and long-lasting, so with proper care, they can be reused 1-2 times. If you're using the short-wear tabs, your set can be reused multiple times.
