A fresh set of nails adds excitement to our self-care routines and offers a wonderful opportunity to relax and recharge. However, traditional manicures come with their challenges.

Ready to become a press-on nail pro? Here are some of our top reapplication tips to ensure your nails look flawless every time. Let’s dive in!
1. AVOID ACETONE
Knowing what not to do is a great place to start. Avoid using acetone when removing your press-on nails, as it can weaken them, making them unsuitable for reuse.
Instead, opt for a gentler removal method that protects both your natural nails and your beloved press-ons.
Acetone is commonly used in the nail industry for removing polish and gel. While it can be used to remove press-ons, keep in mind that doing so will render them non-reusable, as acetone can compromise the nail material.
We recommend soaking your nails in a warm, soapy, and oily water solution to loosen the glue. After soaking for 5-10 minutes, use the cuticle stick provided in your kit to gently lift the press-on nail around the cuticle. If they don’t easily come off, continue soaking. Remember, never force or pull your nails off.
Prioritizing the health of your natural nails and preserving your press-ons is key to successful reuse.
2. REMOVE EXCESS NAIL GLUE
After removing your press-on nails, be sure to file away any excess adhesive from the back of the nails. This will ensure a seamless application the next time you use them.
This step is crucial in mastering the art of reusing press-on nails, as it creates a smooth foundation for a perfect fit every time.
3. CLEAN AND DISINFECT
To remove any remaining residue and properly disinfect your press-on nails, soak them in warm, soapy water and use a nail brush to scrub them clean.
Carefully going through each nail will help eliminate debris and bacteria, reducing the risk of any unpleasant surprises during reapplication.
For additional disinfecting, rubbing alcohol is a simple and effective option to include in your kit.
4. MAINTAIN YOUR NATURAL NAILS
Caring for your natural nails is just as important as maintaining your press-ons since they work together to create your perfect look.
After removing the excess glue from your press-ons, it's time to file any remaining adhesive off your natural nails using the file provided in your kit.
Whether you're reusing the nails you just removed or going back to an old favorite set, filing your nail beds ensures a smooth transition and a flawless fit.
5. KEEP THE PACKAGING
Among all our reapplication tips, this one is the simplest and most effective.
It’s tempting to toss the packaging after opening a new set of press-on nails, but think twice before you do.
Our packaging is designed to store your press-ons for future use, preventing them from getting lost or damaged.
After removing and cleaning your press-ons, place them back in the packaging tray for safe storage.
Keeping the original packaging is an effortless way to protect your press-ons from getting lost, crushed, or distorted, ensuring they’re ready for your next application.
6. PREP YOUR NAILS
After following all the steps to preserve your press-ons, it’s time to prepare your natural nails for reapplication.
Standard practices like pushing back your cuticles, trimming hangnails, and filing are essential for starting the process. Don’t forget to lightly buff your nails for a long-lasting manicure. Then, use alcohol to clean your nails and apply an even layer of glue to both your natural nail and the back of the press-on.
Align the press-on under your cuticle for a perfect fit, press down firmly, and hold for 20 seconds or more to ensure they’re securely attached before releasing.
Whether you're new to press-on nails or a seasoned pro, you've got this! Good luck!
