- Gently roll up the adhesive tabs attached to the nail bed and the Nailpoper nails.
remove nail glue
- Soak your fingers in warm water to soften the glue bond for several minutes. And it will need to soak longer than nail tabs.
- Gently tilt out the gap between the nail bed and the Nailpoper nail with a wooden stick.
- Use a brush to drip the solution of Nail Glue Debonder (This product is not in the set and needs to be purchased on the website) into the gap and let the glue dissolve for 5-10 minutes.
- After the glue dissolves, continue gently prying the nails until they can be safely removed. If necessary, repeat the above steps until the false nails can be peeled off. Never force or pull nails off as this may damage your natural nails.
