Applying Press-On Nails

How To Apply Press-On Nails


Gather necessary tools

  • Press-on nails
  • Nail glue stickers or nail glue (optional)
  • Nail file or buffer
  • Cuticle pusher or orange stick
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Cotton Round/Ball


Preparation

  1. Prep your natural nails: Remove any old nail polish and push back your cuticles. Use rubbing alcohol and cotton round/ball to remove any oils from your nail beds. Wash your hands to ensure they're clean and dry.
  2. Choose the right nail: Select the press-on nail that best fits your natural nail bed.


Application

  1. Find the correct size of nail glue sticker. Peel the backing off the nail glue sticker and place it onto your natural nail, positioning it where you want the press-on nail to adhere. Gently press the sticker onto your nail, making sure it's centered and smooth. OR if using nail glue, apply a tiny dot to the back of the press-on nail and the center of your natural nail.
  2. Place the press-on nail: Align the press-on nail with your natural nail, starting at the center and gently pressing outward. Hold for a few seconds to secure.
  3. Press and hold: Press the nail firmly onto your natural nail, making sure it's centered and secure. Hold for about 10-15 seconds.
  4. Repeat for all nails: Apply the remaining press-on nails, following steps 1-3.


Finishing Touches

  1. Shape and file: Although our nails come pre-shaped and filed, you can customize to your liking, by using a nail file or buffer to shape and smooth out any excess glue or ridges.
  2. Clean up: Use a lint-free wipe or cotton ball with rubbing alcohol to remove any excess glue or residue.


Tips and Variations

  • To extend the wear of your press-on nails, apply a small amount of nail glue to the tip of the nail and wrap it around the edge of your natural nail.
  • Use a nail glue with a built-in primer for extra hold.
  • Apply a base coat to your natural nail before applying the press-on nail for added protection.
  • To remove press-on nails soak your nails in nail glue remover or oil for about 10-15 minutes. Gently peel off the nail, starting from one edge.
