Nail tech here, keep in mind your nails can also be naturally flimsy after removal due to the chemicals used ! After 24 hrs, they will be a bit sturdier once all the chemicals have been aired out/evaporated/washed off! I learned this in school! Especially after acrylics removal

Sorry they happened to your nails but the nails fr said i look hot with this nail art good luck trying to get it off😭

File, file, file! You want the thinnest layer you are comfortable getting before the acetone wrap. Personally I don't need to wear them more than 5 minutes before the gel just falls off. If your gel isn't falling off, use a hand file then wrap them again. Never should any force be needed to remove gels. They should essentially fall off

Omg I def recommend if you want press on nails to last, do your usual nail prep, with dehydrator and primer, gel base coat, and add a layer of builder gel, once that is cured in the lamp then you wipe off the nail with alcohol, then you buff lightly at the builder gel layer, then buff under the press on nail, add nail glue to the press on nail and press on for abt 20 seconds then boom your nails do not come off…. I learned the hard way exactly what she did in this vid.

The only way that press on can be reused are if you put them with the sticky tabs, if your using glue they has to be soak off with acetone, because if you rip them off the press on is going to take away layers of your nails, so please use and remove them correctly (bad English alert)(I'm a nail tech)

i recently also ruined my nails by using press ons incorrectly 😭 i got them off and instead of taking the remaining glue off my nails with an acetone soak, i buffed it all down and made my nails super thin and fragile (was distracted while filing and noticed too late…). i painted them for extra support but now im just waiting for them to grow out and taking collagen to strengthen them again 😭😭😭

Try al'iver gel remover. Works like a charm. You brush it on and the whole gel nail will melt off leaving your natural nail beautiful underneath

Can we just appreciate the fact that her natural nails are so long and healthy! ❤

[thhousemoonrabbit]

Yup, I severely overfiled like 3 nails and they are hurtful lol physically and psychologically. My problem is I was working under, uneven natural light🖤

Speedy recovery, to us both

As a girl who where’s press on nails almost every two weeks, when I go to the salon they always say my nails are super healthy! This has never happened to me, in my opinion I just think the nails weren’t ready.

[TashVitorsky]

this exact same thing happened to me. I applied press ons over a thin layer of builder gel I left on my natural nail and let me tell you, I fully understand the struggle of trying to remove them.

I recommend maybe adding a base coat of jello jello nail remover works like a charm and keeps your press ons looking good once removed so you can keep them 💗

Oh no ... 😢 I can feel your pain 🥺 I'm so sorry that happened to you ☹️

[Berykaii]

Girlll noooo omg you pour soul.. try the jello jello peel off base gel with press on’s! 🥺

[bonificent]

A dot of UNT peel off base makes everything so easy to remove. I only use a small stripe along the middle of my nail, because they will lift off immediately if I cover the whole nail. I do my gel once a week.

[Hail._.Storm.]

Soak them in a gelatin mixture with warm water. It helps harden the nails.

[alcookie]

The reason I will never use press on nails again. It made my nails extremaly thin and fragile. I literally ignored the fact that I’m using the most chemical smelling thing I ever smelled to have plastic nails stay on my natural ones and removing it was a nightmare.

[Tomie]

Omg this is so helpful thank you!! I have really brittle nails but I was going to wear press on this week. I was wondering if a layer of biab underneath would decrease the damage but now I see it makes it worseeee! Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🙏

[naan]

I ruined my nail using nail tips 😭😭. I over filed when trying to remove gel polish because I ran out of nail glue and acetone and now my nails that were once strong are thin flexible and sore. Take this as a learning lesson and make sure you’ve got the right equipment 😭😭

[graciemcneill-zf]

Try pollygel it helps strengthen your nails
