Learn the proper steps to clean and store your Frost press-on nails from CLAWSIE Nails to keep them reusable and looking fresh for multiple wears.
Quick answer
To keep your Frost press-on nails reusable, gently remove them, clean off old glue with acetone or oil, sanitize with rubbing alcohol, and store them in a dry, compartmented box away from heat and sunlight.
Why proper care matters for Frost press-on nails
Frost press-on nails from CLAWSIE Nails are handmade and available in sizes XS, S, and M. With the right cleaning and storage, you can reuse the same set several times, saving money and reducing waste. Neglecting care can lead to lifted edges, cloudy surfaces, or lost pieces.
What not to use on press-on nails
Avoid soaking Frost nails in water for long periods—this weakens the adhesive and can warp the nail shape. Also skip harsh scrub brushes or acetone-based removers on the art side, as they may dull the finish.
Step-by-step care routine
- Remove gently: Use a cuticle stick or wooden orangewood stick to lift the edge of each Frost nail. Never pull or twist, as this can damage the natural nail and the press-on. If the nail resists, soak in warm soapy water for a few minutes first.
- Clean off old glue: Apply a small amount of acetone-free nail polish remover or cuticle oil to a cotton pad and wipe the underside of each nail. For stubborn residue, let the pad sit on the nail for 30 seconds before wiping. Acetone-free remover is gentler on the artwork and helps the nails last longer.
- Sanitize the nails: Lightly mist or wipe each nail with 70% isopropyl alcohol. This kills bacteria without damaging the finish. Let them air-dry completely on a clean towel. Do not skip this step—it prevents odors and keeps the set hygienic for reuse.
- Store in a dry, cool place: Place the cleaned Frost nails back in their original packaging or a compartmented press-on nail box. Keep the box away from direct sunlight, radiators, and humid bathrooms. Always store nails flat to prevent warping; never stack them loosely in a bag.
