How to Apply Your Press-On Nails
Applying your luxury press-on nails should be fun, not stressful!
Here’s the simple, step-by-step way to make sure they look amazing and last as long as possible.
Start with clean, dry nails
❤ Remove polish or any product from natural nails.
❤ Recommended: shorten length of your natural nail using provided file in the application kit.
Why: Clean nails give your press-ons better grip!
Tip: Don’t use lotion right before applying as your press-on nails will pop-off early.
Push cuticles
❤ Use the cuticle stick to gently push back your cuticles using the angled edge.
❤ Remove any dead skin off your nail plate.
❤ Optional: If you're experienced with e-files or cuticle nippers, you can use them for a more natural finish.
Buff nails
❤ Use the smoother side of the buffer block to lightly buff your natural nails.
❤ This removes the surface shine and prepares the nail for the liquid glue/glue tabs to adhere to.
Wipe with alcohol pad
❤ Use the alcohol pad to wipe down the natural nail and remove all dust.
❤ Optional: wipe down the underside of the press-on nails for better retention.
Apply liquid glue
Wear Time
❤ Liquid glue = longest wear (10 to 12 days)
❤ Want only a few days? Skip nail prep or use glue tabs.
Before You Glue
❤ Check the fit of your press-on nails.
❤ They should sit right next to your cuticle line.
❤ If needed, file the sides for a perfect fit.
How to Apply
❤ Apply thin layer of liquid glue on the natural nail, avoiding getting too close to the cuticle.
❤ Align press-on nails at the cuticle and place it down at a 45 degree angle.
❤ Press firmly for 30 seconds, shifting pressure so the whole nail adheres.
❤ Apply one nail at a time.
Apply glue tabs
Wear Time
❤ Glue tabs = shorter wear (2 to 3 days)
How to Apply
❤ Prep your nails first (follow steps 1 to 4)
❤ Match each glue tab to your nail size.
❤ Stick the tab onto your natural nail.
❤ Peel off the plastic layer.
❤ Place the press-on nail at a 45 degree angle then firmly press down for 30 secs.
❤ Shift pressure so the whole nail is secured.
❤ Apply one nail at a time.
Aftercare Instructions
❤︎ Avoid moisture and lotion for at least an hour to allow the glue to set. It is recommended that you apply the press-on nails before bed so nails can set overnight.
❤︎ Nails are not tools. Do not use excessive force or pick at things with your press-ons. Doing so may harm/damage your natural nails and cause your press-ons to pop off earlier.
❤︎ Use gloves while washing dishes to avoid moisture entering your nail bed and causing your press-on nails to come off earlier.
❤︎ Apply lotion and cuticle oil to your cuticle area/hands every day to lock in moisture and ensure best press-on wear.
