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:

  1. Shape: Trim and shape your natural nails so that the press-ons sit nicely and cover your nail beds fully.
  2. Buff: Lightly buff the surface of each nail using the nail file provided.
  3. Prep: Use the prep pad to give your nails a good wipe.
  4. 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): 

  1. Apply a dot of glue to both your natural nail and the back of the press-on. 
  2. Use the glue nozzle tip or the wooden stick provided to spread the glue evenly across your nail and the press-on.
  3. Wait 5 seconds for the glue to get a little tacky.
  4. Line up the press-on at a 45° angle, starting at the cuticle.
  5. Press down firmly and hold for 30-60 seconds.


 For short-term wear (up to 7 days) - nail glue: 

  1. Apply a thin strip of glue down the centre of your natural nail and one small dot of glue either side of the strip.
  2. Line up the press-on at a 45° angle, starting at the cuticle.
  3. Press down firmly and hold for 30-60 seconds.


 For short-term wear (up to 7 days) - adhesive tabs: 

  1. 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.
  2. Slide the press-on onto the natural nail with the tab applied.
  3. Press down and hold for 30 seconds.
