How To Easily Remove Press-On Nails Without Damaging Your Natural Nails

Unfortunately, some of the most fun nail trends often come at the cost of a super harmful and painful removal. Acrylics, gel, press-on nails — every time you remove them you find yourself swearing you'll never do it again. Instead of struggling through it, there's a safe and easy way to remove them without cursing the day you chose to press them on.

TikTok has definitely become the place to go for life hacks that are guaranteed to make your life a lot easier, and the same goes for press-on nail care. Nail shop @Bysugarclaws shared their secret trick to easily removing press-on nails and it's an absolute game changer. It couldn't be simpler.

All you have to do is get a bowl, fill it with some warm water and your choice of hydrating oil (the TikTok video suggests Argan oil). Simply soak your fingertips in the mixture for a few minutes and suddenly the nails will easily click off. There are no harmful substances, no strenuous pulling, and no nails are harmed in the removal of these nails (via Cosmopolitan). Finally, you can enjoy the luxury of press-on nails without worrying about drying out your nails — the oil in the mixture is like a deep nourishing soak for your cuticles, it's a win-win!
