How to remove false nails?

How to remove your false nails the right way. If you've applied false nails with nail glue at home and are wondering how to remove them gently, you've come to the right place. Here is a simple step-by-step guide:


Step 1: Prepare your work area

Before you start, make sure you have everything you need within easy reach. You may need a bowl of warm water, a wooden or plastic stick, and a file to shape your natural nails afterwards.

Step 2: Soak your nails

To dissolve the nail glue and make it easier to remove the false nails, fill a bowl with warm water and dip your nails in it. Let the nails soak for a few minutes. The heat helps to soften the glue.

Step 3: Use the wooden or plastic stick

After soaking, you can use a wooden or plastic stick to gently scrape away the loose nails. Be careful and avoid damaging your natural nails. The nail glue should have softened, making it easier to remove the nails.

Step 4: Wash and moisturize your nails

After removing your false nails, wash your hands thoroughly to remove any remaining glue and dirt. Then apply a moisturizing nail cream or nail oil to care for and hydrate your natural nails.

Step 5: Avoid forcing the nails away

It is important not to force the false nails if they do not want to come off, as this can damage your natural nails. If the nail glue does not come off easily, repeat the process until you can remove all the loose nails.


By following these steps, you can easily and gently remove the false nails you have glued on yourself at home. Remember to be patient and careful not to wear down your natural nails. Good luck!
