How to for Long-Lasting Results

Preparation is Key to Durability: Begin by removing any existing polish and washing your hands thoroughly to eliminate product buildup.

Apply Press-On Nails 1
  1. Gently push back your cuticles to create space for your new manicure, which enhances the appearance of your nails.
  2. Use the softer (pink) side of the nail file to gently buff the surface of your natural nails.
  3. Clean the surface of your nails and surrounding cuticle area using an alcohol pad to kill germs and eliminate moisture, essential for a lasting and healthy manicure.

 

Step 2 – Application

Select the correct size of press-on nails by aligning them with your natural nails, using tiny numbers on the false nails for guidance.

 

For Long-Term Wear (Up to 14 Days with Glue):

  1. Apply a generous layer of glue to your natural nail, similar to applying polish, and apply glue to one-third of the press-on nail.
  2. Align the press-on nail with your cuticle and start from the nail base, pressing downward.
  3. Firmly press down for 5 minutes to ensure no air pockets. Remove excess glue with a cuticle stick.

Note: Avoid placing nails directly onto your cuticles.

For Short-Term Wear (Lasts Up to 48 Hours with Tabs):

  1. Choose adhesive tabs that cover most of your natural nail surface.Position the adhesive tab on your natural nail, ensuring it extends approximately 1-2mm from the cuticle. Press and smooth the tab down gently. Peel off the protective film from the tab and firmly adhere it to the nail.
  2. Push the adhesive tabs around the edges of the nail to ensure a secure fit.
  3. With a 45-degree angle, press the nail inward, pushing the press-on nail towards the cuticle. Maintain the pressure for 20 seconds to secure the press-on nail in place.

  1. Repeat for Each Nail:Repeat the process for each of your natural nails, one at a time. Take your time to ensure proper alignment and adhesion for each press-on nail.
  1. Maintenance: Avoid exposing your nails to excessive water or moisture immediately after application to allow the adhesive to fully set.
