How to Remove Press-On Nails Applied with Adhesive Tabs

Step 1: Soak your nails in warm water
-
Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 2-3 minutes to warm the adhesive.
-
Pro Tip: Adding a few drops of cuticle oil to the warm water will help break down the adhesive even faster while keeping your skin and cuticles moisturised.

Step 2: Gently Lift the Edges
-
For this step, you will need your cuticle stick, which comes inside your Loste kit.
-
Very gently push the flat edge of the stick underneath the side of the press-on nail.
- Keep gently working the cuticle stick under the nail until it pops off easily.
-
Never force or pop the nail off. If there is any resistance, soak your hands in warm water for another few minutes.

Step 3: Remove the tabs and reuse your press-on nails
-
For your natural nails: Wipe your nail beds with your Loste Nail Prep Pad so they are clean and ready for your next set.
-
For your Loste press-ons: Clean any leftover sticky tab residue from the back of the false nail and pop them back in your box. Loste press-ons are designed for up to 10 wears, so you can keep reusing your nails over and over.
Why Loste are the best Press-On nails:
Our premium press-ons are made with a 5-layer soft gel technology, making them as close to salon acrylics as you can get at home. It's this technology that makes them ultra-hardwearing, chip-resistant and reusable. The whole idea of Loste is to give you a premium-quality mani that looks just like salon nails while being more affordable and more sustainable than a salon set.
