1. Using oil and water to remove press-on nails is a gentle method that can help loosen the adhesive. Here's a simple guide:

2. Gather Supplies:

• You will need a bowl of warm, soapy water, an oil-based product (such as cuticle oil, olive oil, or coconut oil), and a cuticle stick or wooden nail stick.

1. Soak Your Nails:

• Start by soaking your hands in the warm, soapy water for about 10-15 minutes. This helps soften the adhesive and makes it easier to remove the press-on nails.

• Once your nails are adequately soaked, apply the oil around the edges of the press-on nails. You can use a cotton ball or a cotton swab to apply the oil.
