How to remove false nail glue
How to remove liquid nail glue without damaging your natural nails
False nails applied with liquid glue are an excellent solution for a stylish and long-lasting manicure. But there always comes a time when you want to remove them… And if you don't use the right method, you risk damaging or weakening your natural nails. Don't panic: here are the simple and safe steps to remove the glue while taking care of your hands.
🌸 Step 1: Prepare for withdrawal
First and foremost, do not attempt to remove your false nails. This could tear off layers of your natural nail.
Get yourself a bowl, warm (but not boiling) water, a little mild soap or oil (sweet almond, olive or coconut) and a wooden stick (cuticle pusher).
🌸 Step 2: The hot soapy bath
Fill your bowl with warm to hot water and add soap or a few drops of oil.
Immerse your fingers for 10 to 15 minutes.
The heat and the mixture will soften the glue and gradually detach the false nails.
🌸 Step 3: Carefully remove
After bathing, use a wooden stick to gently lift the edges of the false nail.
If you feel resistance, soak your nails in water for a few minutes: gentleness is key.
Absolutely avoid pulling or forcing.
🌸 Step 4: Remove glue residue
There may be some glue left on your natural nails.
Soak a cotton ball with a little acetone-free nail polish remover or vegetable oil.
Scrape gently until all residue has disappeared.
🌸 Step 5: Nourish and protect
After the removal, your nails need some pampering.
Apply a nourishing oil to your cuticles and nails.
Massage gently to stimulate circulation and strengthen keratin.
Finish with a moisturizing cream for soft hands.

Maintenance is just as important as the application: the healthier your natural nails remain, the longer and more beautifully your press-on nails will last. Always treat yourself to a little pampering break between applications; your nails will thank you!
