Can You Reuse Press-On Nails?
Yes! High-quality press-on nails—like the GO-GEL™ Press-On Nail Tips—are totally reusable when properly removed and maintained. Whether you're using gel glue, nail glue, or Double-Sided Adhesive Tabs, how you take them off determines their longevity.
What Makes a Press-On Nail Reusable?
1. Material Quality
Reusable nails need to be made of durable, flexible material. Our GO-GEL™ Soft Gel Tips are crafted from premium gel, which resists bending, cracking, and warping.
2. Application Method
Adhesive Tabs are the easiest to reuse with. Gel glue and nail glue require more careful removal but can still preserve the nail tip if done correctly.
How to Remove Press-Ons Without Damage
- Soak in warm water and gentle soap for 10–15 minutes.
- Loosen by gently wiggling from the sides—do not rip them off!
- Use adhesive remover if needed to dissolve gel or nail glue.
