Prepare Your Nails: Remove any old nail polish before applying & ensure your nails are free of oils and dirt. Trim your natural nails to a length that fits comfortably under the press-on nails. File the edges to ensure smoothness then use the cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles for a clean application area then wipe your nails with the included alcohol pad.
Select the Right Size: Choose the press-on nails that best fit each of your natural nails. If necessary, file the sides of the press-on nails for a perfect fit.
Apply Adhesive: Apply a layer of nail glue to both your natural nail and the underside of the press-on nail.
Attach the Press-On Nails: Align the press-on nail with your cuticle, placing it as close to the cuticle as possible without overlapping it. Press down firmly on the nail, starting from the cuticle and working towards the tip to avoid air bubbles. Hold for 60 seconds to ensure the glue or adhesive pad bonds properly.
Finish Up: File and shape the press-on nails as desired to achieve your preferred look. Avoid getting your nails wet for at least an hour to allow the glue to fully set.
Tips for Long-Lasting Wear: Try to keep your feet dry for a few hours after application. Treat your nails gently to avoid loosening the adhesive. If a nail starts to lift, you can apply a small amount of glue to the area to secure it.
Removal: Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes to loosen the adhesive then use a cuticle pusher or an orange stick to gently pry the nails off. Avoid forcefully pulling them to prevent damage to your natural nails.
Following these steps will help you achieve a salon-quality manicure with press-on nails that can last up to a week+.
