What You'll Learn
Using the Red Aspen Nail Dash Removal Tool
To start, use the mini pick to gently break the seal around the edges of the Nail Dash. Apply cuticle oil around and under the Dash, and let the oil soak in to loosen the adhesive. You can then either repeat this step until the Dash pops off, or soak your nails in warm, soapy water with a few drops of cuticle oil for about 10 minutes.
Once the Dash has popped off, or after soaking your nails, you can use the threader to slide between your natural nail and the Dash to release the adhesive seal. Gently slide the threader towards your fingertip to ensure the Dash comes off completely.
After removing the Dash, you can use the blue and then the pink side of the included buffer to remove excess nail glue and restore your natural nails.

Applying cuticle oil to speed up the process
Applying cuticle oil is an effective way to speed up the process of removing Red Aspen Nail Dashes. Cuticle oil helps to dissolve the nail glue, making it easier to remove the press-on nails.
To begin, apply a few drops of cuticle oil around the edges of your press-on nails and the underside of the nails, if possible. Red Aspen's Cuticle Oil Pen can be useful for precise application. Allow the oil to sit for a few minutes to let it work on the adhesive. You can also add a few drops of cuticle oil to warm soapy water and soak your hands in it for about 10 minutes. This will help loosen the glue, making the removal process quicker and easier.
After applying the oil, gently rock the press-on nails side to side to check if they are loose. If they are, you can then use a nail removal tool to gently push the nails off, starting from the cuticle and working towards the nail tips to prevent excessive damage.
Once the press-on nails are removed, there may still be some nail glue residue on your nails. To remove this, you can use a nail file or buffer to gently buff it away. Finally, apply some more cuticle oil or hand cream to the nail and cuticle area to moisturize and restore your natural nail beds.
By using cuticle oil, you can effectively speed up the process of removing Red Aspen Nail Dashes while also nourishing and moisturizing your nails and cuticles.

Removing excess glue with nail polish remover
Red Aspen's nail glue is designed to break down over time with wear to keep your natural nails healthy. Removing Nail Dashes can be a tricky process, but with the right techniques and products, it is easy.
Nail polish remover is an effective way to remove excess nail glue from your skin and nails. To remove nail glue from your skin, use an acetone-based nail polish remover. Soak a cotton swab in the remover and press it onto the affected area. Allow the acetone to soak in, applying more as needed. When the glue starts to dissolve, use a clean toothbrush to gently rub away the residue.
You can also use non-acetone nail polish remover to dissolve the glue. Soak your nails in the remover for 2-3 minutes, then gently peel off the nails. If you are using press-on nails with a special finish, such as matte, avoid using nail polish remover as it can damage the finish. In such cases, vinegar is a great alternative.
To remove excess glue from your nails, soak a cotton pad in nail polish remover and place it on your nail. Then, wrap your finger with aluminium foil and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. After that, use a nail buffer or file to gently remove the softened glue.
Other methods to remove excess glue
There are several other methods to remove excess nail glue:
- Soak your nails in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes to help soften the glue. Then, gently peel off the nails.
- Use cuticle oil to speed up the nail glue removal process. Apply a few drops of oil around the cuticle and let it help break down the glue.
- Apply hand lotion to the affected area and massage it into the glue in a circular motion. Continue to do this until the glue begins to flake away. Then, wash your hands with soap and water to eliminate any remaining glue.

Using something stiff to push the dashes off
Red Aspen's nail glue is durable, but it dissolves and breaks down over time with wear. The company recommends removing dashes per their instructions to avoid nail damage. One way to do this is by using something stiff to push the dashes off.
First, wait at least five days or until your nails begin to pop off on their own before removing them. You can speed up the removal process by applying a few drops of cuticle oil around the cuticle. The oil will help break down the glue.
Next, use a cuticle stick, or the Red Aspen Nail Dash Removal Tool, to gently break the seal around the edge of each nail dash. You can then use the built-in mini pick to help lift the dashes.
If you are not using the Red Aspen Nail Dash Removal Tool, you can use something stiff to push the dashes off. Slide the stiff object between your natural nail and the press-on nail dash to loosen the glue adhesive. Be sure to apply light pressure and never force removal.

Clipping off residue with a cuticle or nail clipper
To remove Red Aspen nail dashes, you can use a cuticle or nail clipper to clip off any residue left on the dashes or your natural nails. If you are looking to reapply your dashes, simply clip off any residue on the dashes and proceed with reapplication. However, if you are removing the dashes to give your nails a breather, you will also need to restore your natural nails.
To restore your natural nails, you can use the blue side and then the pink side of the included buffer to remove excess nail glue and restore the natural shine of your nails. Alternatively, you can use nail polish remover and a cotton round to remove excess glue, but this method is not recommended for matte dashes as it may damage the finish. Instead, you can use vinegar to remove excess glue from matte dashes.
In addition to clipping off residue, there are other methods to remove Red Aspen nail dashes. One method is to use the Red Aspen Nail Dash Removal Tool, which includes a threader to loosen the glue adhesive and a mini pick to lift and remove the dashes. Another method is to soak your nails in warm, soapy water mixed with a few drops of cuticle oil, which helps to break down the glue and speed up the removal process.
Overall, clipping off residue with a cuticle or nail clipper is a quick and effective way to remove Red Aspen nail dashes, especially if you are looking to reapply a new set of dashes. By following the recommended removal process, you can ensure that your natural nails remain healthy and damage-free.
