1. Prep Your Nails
Start clean. Wash your hands, push back your cuticles with the included cuticle pusher, and gently buff the surface of each nail with the nail file. This gives the glue a better grip. Finally, wipe each nail with a cleansing pad to remove any oil or residue. This step is the key to a long-lasting hold.
2. Find Your Perfect Fit
Match each press-on nail to your natural nail by size. They should fit edge to edge without overlapping your skin. If a nail is slightly off, a quick file on the sides will do the trick. A good fit means a comfortable, natural look.
3. Apply the Glue and Press
Apply a thin, even layer of glue to your natural nail. Then place the press-on nail at your cuticle, slide it down into place, and press firmly for about 10–15 seconds. Take your time—this part matters.
4. Avoid Lifting and Enjoy
Don’t wash your hands or apply lotion for at least an hour after application. Want them to last even longer? Wear gloves when doing dishes. Properly applied press-on nails can stay on for days with the right care.
