Gentle. Easy. Pressed with Care.
When it’s time to switch up your set, proper removal helps protect your natural nails — and keeps your Pressed by Kio nails reusable for future wear.
If Applied with Adhesive Tabs
This method is the easiest to remove — perfect for temporary wear or special occasions.
Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 5–10 minutes.
Gently lift around the edges using your cuticle stick.
Peel off slowly — never force or rip the nails.
Wipe away any leftover adhesive with an alcohol pad or nail polish remover.
If Applied with Nail Glue
This method gives you 1–2+ weeks of wear, so removal requires a little extra patience.
Soak nails in a bowl of warm water, a few drops of cuticle oil (or olive oil), and mild soap for 10–15 minutes.
Use your cuticle stick to gently lift each side, allowing water and oil to seep underneath.
Continue soaking and gently loosen each nail — never pull or pop them off.
Clean natural nails with an alcohol wipe to remove leftover glue.
Pat dry and apply cuticle oil to restore hydration.
Reuse & Storage
Many of our customers love to reuse their sets! After removal:
Gently buff off any leftover glue from the back of the nail.
Store the nails in their original Pressed by Kio box or a clean container.
Keep away from heat or moisture.
