how to reuse & care for your press on nails

At sets by starla, we believe in making beauty both effortless and sustainable. With the right care, your press-on nails can be worn multiple times, keeping them looking fresh while reducing waste. Follow this guide to extend the life of your nails!

1. Proper Removal (Avoid Damage!)

To reuse your press-on nails, it’s important to remove them carefully without bending or breaking them. Here’s how:

For Glue-On Application:

• Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes.

• Gently lift the edges with a cuticle stick—never force them off.

• If needed, apply oil or acetone-free nail polish remover around the edges to help loosen the adhesive.

For Adhesive Tabs:

• Simply peel off the tabs by gently rolling them off the back of the nail.

• This method is best for short-term wear and makes reuse even easier!

2. Cleaning & Storage

Once removed, your nails need a little TLC to get them ready for their next wear.

Cleaning Steps:

• If there’s leftover glue, use a buffer or a gentle file to remove excess residue.

• Wipe each nail with alcohol or acetone-free nail polish remover to keep them fresh.

• Avoid soaking in acetone, as it may weaken the nail design.

Storage Tips:

• Store your nails in the original Sets by Starla packaging to keep them protected and organized.

• Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality.
