Sally Hansen offers a wide range of fake nail options, from basic French manicure tips to bold glittery statements. Their press-on nails are easy to apply and simple to remove, with no long drying times, smudging, or chipping. The removal process depends on whether adhesive tabs or nail glue were used for application. For adhesive tabs, apply nail polish remover around the edges and wait one minute before gently removing the artificial nail with a cuticle stick. For nail glue, apply nail polish remover between the artificial and natural nail, wait one minute, and then gently release the artificial nail.

What You'll Learn
Removing adhesive tab nails
First, apply nail polish remover around the edges of your artificial nails and wait for about a minute. You can then gently remove the artificial nails using the cuticle stick. Be careful not to force them off as this could damage your natural nails. Once removed, use the alcohol pad to wipe away any remaining adhesive residue on your natural nails.
If you encounter any resistance or difficulty in removing the adhesive tab nails, do not force them off. Instead, apply a little more nail polish remover and wait a few more seconds. This should help to loosen the adhesive and make the removal process easier.
It is important to note that this removal process is specifically for the adhesive tab application of the Sally Hansen Salon Effects® Perfect Manicure nails. If you used nail glue to apply your artificial nails, the removal process is slightly different. For glue application, apply nail polish remover between the artificial nail and your natural nail, wait a minute, and then gently release the artificial nail using the cuticle stick.
The Sally Hansen Salon Effects® Perfect Manicure nails are known for their durability, with some users reporting that they stayed on for up to 16 days. However, individual experiences may vary, and it is important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the best results.

Removing glued-on nails
Start by gathering your supplies. You will need nail polish remover, a cuticle stick, and an alcohol pad, all of which should have been included in your Sally Hansen Salon Effects kit. If you don't have nail polish remover, you can use any acetone-based remover.
Next, pour some nail polish remover into a small bowl or container. You will need enough to soak the nails for a minute or so. Then, using the cuticle stick, gently lift the edges of the glued-on nail. This will help the nail polish remover get underneath the artificial nail and dissolve the glue.
Once you have lifted the edges of the nail, soak a small piece of cotton in the nail polish remover and place it on your nail, holding it there for a minute or so. You can also use the cotton pad to gently rub the nail and dissolve the glue. If the glue is particularly stubborn, you may need to soak your nails for a little longer.
After the glue has dissolved, gently slide the cuticle stick under the artificial nail to loosen it and lift it away from your natural nail. Be careful not to force it, as this could damage your natural nails. If the nail is not coming off easily, soak it for a little longer and try again.
Finally, use the alcohol pad to wipe away any remaining glue or residue from your natural nails. This will ensure that your nails are clean and ready for your next manicure!
It is important to be gentle and patient throughout this process to avoid damaging your natural nails. With care, you can safely remove glued-on nails and maintain the health of your nails.

Using nail polish remover
To remove fake nails using nail polish remover, you will need nail polish remover that contains acetone, a nail file, cotton balls or cotton squares, and aluminium foil.
First, use the nail file to buff out the top shiny layer of the gel polish until it looks matte. This is an important step because the acetone will not be able to penetrate the shiny topcoat.
Next, soak a cotton ball or cotton square in the nail polish remover. It should be wet but not dripping. Place the soaked cotton on top of your nail and wrap your finger tightly with aluminium foil. The foil adds heat to speed up the lifting process. Leave the foil wrapped around your finger for 5-10 minutes.
After the time has passed, remove the foil and cotton. The gel polish should now be bubbling and beginning to crack. Gently push off the gel manicure with a cuticle pusher tool or a wooden cuticle stick. If there are still some bits of base coat or colour left, buff your nail again with a nail file.
Finally, finish off the removal process by applying cuticle oil and a collagen-enriched top coat to help nurture your cuticles and nail beds back to health.

Using a cuticle stick
To remove Sally Hansen fake nails using a cuticle stick, start by applying the Instant Cuticle Remover gel to your nails. This product is formulated with chamomile and aloe to gently break down excess cuticles. Squeeze a thin strip of the gel around your cuticles and under your nail tips.
After applying the gel, use a manicure stick or a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. Work on one nail at a time, and remember to wipe off any excess product with a tissue before moving on to the next nail. You can also try applying the gel to two nails at once, allowing the product to work its magic on one nail while you push back the cuticle on the other.
If you find that 15 seconds is not enough time to soften your cuticles, you can leave the gel on for a little longer. Some people recommend leaving it on for 30 seconds or even a second application if needed. For tougher cuticles, you may need to experiment with leaving the gel on for up to 3 minutes. However, be cautious as leaving the product on for too long may cause burning.
Once you have pushed back your cuticles, wash the gel off with soap and water. You can then use a baby toothbrush to scrub your cuticles and ensure that all the product has been removed. This step will also help dislodge any leftover cuticle. Finally, clean off your cuticle pusher and go back over your nails to remove any remaining bits of cuticle.

Removing loose nails
If your artificial nails are glued on, apply nail polish remover between the artificial nail and your natural nail. Again, wait for about a minute, and once the artificial nail is loose, gently release it with the cuticle stick.
It is important to be patient and gentle during this process to avoid damaging your natural nails. If you force the nails off too quickly, you may chip or damage your natural nails, so take your time and allow the nail polish remover to do its job.
If you are removing multiple loose nails, work on one nail at a time and be careful not to get nail polish remover on the surrounding skin, as it can be drying and irritating. You can also try soaking your nails in warm water for a few minutes before applying the nail polish remover, as this can help loosen the adhesive and make removal easier.
Once all the loose nails have been removed, you can gently buff your natural nails to smooth out any rough spots and apply a nourishing cuticle oil or hand cream to moisturize and protect your nails and skin.
