application

nail prep is key to long-lasting wear

  1. Trim your nails short and wash your hands with soap.
  2. Use the cuticle stick to push back and scrape off any cuticles if needed.
  3. Place the press-on on your nails to see how they fit. If needed, use the nail file to fine tune the shape.
  4. Use the nail buffer to thoroughly buff over all of your nails to remove oils.
  5. Wipe your nails clean with alcohol wipes.

tabs vs glue

Adhesive tabs (1-3 day wear)

Attach the nail tabs to either your natural nails or the back of the press-ons. Remove the plastic film and press onto your nails and hold for 5 seconds.

NAIL GLUE (~2 WEEK wear)

Trim the tip of the glue bottle. Spread the glue evenly over your nail bed, but avoid the cuticles. Quickly attach the press-ons at a 45 degree angle starting from the cuticle side. Press and hold for 10 seconds. If you plan to use nail glue regularly, I recommend getting a brush on nail glue.

Tabs + GluE (~1-2 WEEK wear)

Attach the nail tabs to the press-ons and then drop the nail glue on your natural nail. Press and hold for 10 seconds.

removal

Proper removal prolongs your press-on nails

  1. Apply cuticle oil
  2. Soak hands in warm & soapy water for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Gently wiggle the nails while soaking to loosen them.
  4. Use a cuticle stick to gently push the nails off from the cuticle side
  5. Repeat steps as needed

clean up

Adhesive tabs

Gently peel off any remaining tabs from your natural nails and from the back of the press-ons. Use a cuticle pusher to help if needed.

nail glue

Buff off any remaining nail glue from your natural nails and on the back of the press-ons. I recommend purchasing an electronic nail drill to help remove glue build up on the back of the press-ons easier. This will allow you to reuse them more times.
