Pro Tips & FAQs

Preparation Tips

Tip: A great manicure includes tidy cuticles. Soak your nails in warm water for 2-3 minutes, gently push back the cuticles, and carefully trim any excess for salon quality nails.

Prepare Your Nails: Make sure your natural nails are clean and free of any polish or oils. Gently buff the surface of your natural nails with a nail buffer to create a slightly rough texture. This will help the press-on nails adhere better and prevent them from lifting.

Choose the Right Size: Select press-on nails that closely match the size and shape of your natural nails. If necessary, file or trim the press-ons to fit your nail beds. Avoid nails that are too large or too small, as they may not adhere properly or feel uncomfortable.

Application Tips

Tip: Use a nail dehydrator and primer after filing and before applying adhesive. This will help the nails adhere better and ensure a longer-lasting hold while keeping your natural nail healthy.

Adhesive: Apply a small amount of glue or adhesive to the back of the press-on nail, focusing on the center and edges. Press firmly onto your natural nail.

Apply Pressure: After placing the press-on nail onto your natural nail, apply firm pressure for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. This will help prevent the press-on nail from lifting or popping off prematurely.

Tip: Use a Q-tip with a small amount of cuticle oil to remove excess glue.

After Application Tips

Tip: Avoid prolonged exposure to water for the first few hours after applying press-on nails, as water can weaken the adhesive. If necessary, wear gloves while washing dishes or bathing to protect your nails.

Trim and Shape: Once the press-on nails are applied, use a nail file to shape and smooth the edges for a natural look. You can also trim the length if desired for a custom fit.

How do I care for press-on nails?

Be Gentle: Treat your press-on nails with care to avoid damage or premature lifting. Avoid using your nails as tools and be cautious when performing activities that may put stress on your nails.

Reapply Adhesive: If a press-on nail starts to lift or loosen, you can reapply adhesive to secure it back in place. Simply remove the nail, clean the surface of your natural nail, reapply adhesive, and press the nail back on firmly.

Remove Properly: When you're ready to remove your press-on nails, soak them in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive. Gently pry the nails off starting from the sides, taking care not to damage your natural nails.
