How to apply press-on nailsUpdated 3 days ago
After you have found your perfect fit, it's important to prep your nails to give you the best base for your press-on manicure. Follow these steps to get the best, long-lasting results:
- Shape: Trim and shape your natural nails so that the press-ons sit nicely and cover your nail beds fully.
- Buff: Lightly buff the surface of each nail using the nail file provided.
- Prep: Use the prep pad to give your nails a good wipe.
- Push: Gently push back your cuticles with the wooden stick provided. This helps ensure the press-ons sit evenly and securely.
For long-term wear (up to 14 days):
- Apply a dot of glue to both your natural nail and the back of the press-on.
- Use the glue nozzle tip or the wooden stick provided to spread the glue evenly across your nail and the press-on.
- Wait 5 seconds for the glue to get a little tacky.
- Line up the press-on at a 45° angle, starting at the cuticle.
- Press down firmly and hold for 30-60 seconds.
For short-term wear (up to 7 days) - nail glue:
- Apply a thin strip of glue down the centre of your natural nail and one small dot of glue either side of the strip.
- Line up the press-on at a 45° angle, starting at the cuticle.
- Press down firmly and hold for 30-60 seconds.
For short-term wear (up to 7 days) - adhesive tabs:
- Match the tab to your nail size using the numbers of the back of the nail tip and apply it on to your natural nail.
- Slide the press-on onto the natural nail with the tab applied.
- Press down and hold for 30 seconds.
