Our ultra-strong, 5-layer gel press-ons are designed for repeat wear, giving you multiple flawless applications per set with the right removal and care.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to reuse your Loste nails, whether you applied them with glue or sticky tabs, so you can get that fresh-set feeling, again and again.

Why Our Nails Are Reusable?

Thanks to our exclusive 5-layer soft gel technology, Loste nails are:

  1. Extra strong & chip-resistant
  2. UV-free (no curing needed)
  3. Easy to apply and remove without damage
  4. Designed to stay glossy and salon-fresh wear after wear

What You’ll Need:

  1. Previously worn Loste nails
  2. Nail glue or sticky tabs (included in your kit)
  3. Alcohol wipe
  4. Nail file
  5. Cuticle Oil

Step-by-Step: How to Reuse Your Press-On Nails

Step 1: Remove nails gently (see our full removal guide here)

Always remove with warm water and a cuticle stick, never force or rip off.

Step 2: Clean the nails

Use an alcohol wipe or cotton pad to remove any glue or sticky tab residue from the back of each nail.

Pro Tip: A nail buffer or file can help gently smooth away leftover glue if needed.

Step 3: Clean your natural nails

Before reapplying, make sure your natural nails are clean, dry, and free of oils for a longer-lasting bond.

Step 4: Reapply using glue or sticky tabs (see our full application guide here)

Choose your method:

  • Glue: Longest wear (up to 14 days)

  • Sticky tabs: Temporary wear (a few hours to a few days)

Apply as you would with a fresh set, press down firmly for 15 seconds per nail.

Step 5: Shape and go

File any edges as needed, and you're ready to go with nails that look like a fresh salon set again!

Pro Care Tips to Extend Nail Life

  2. Avoid using them to open cans or scratch surfaces
  3. Clean gently between wears to maintain shine and shape
  4. Use Loste Cuticle Oil to nourish your nails and cuticles between applications
