I recently got press on nails. Does any one know of a way to remove press on nails that doesn't damage the press ons so they can be resusable or damage the original nail itself? Thank you.

There is a short video on google with the below statement.  I just put in the search "how to remove reusable press on nails."  Good luck

 

To remove reusable press-on nails without damage, soak them in warm, soapy water with a few drops of oil for 10-20 minutes to loosen the glue, gently wiggle them off with a cuticle stick, and then buff any residue from your natural nails and the press-ons for reuse, remembering to moisturize with cuticle oil after.

Similarly, maybe a cuticle oil pen and an orange stick .

I use those floss sticks.  The are great.  You position them under the nail and it comes off great.  No damage to the nails or your own nails.

I've tried soaking them in warm water, oil and some dishwashing detergent. Is it dental floss sticks?
