How to Apply Press-Ons

 

PREPARATION

  1. Remove any old polish, dirt, or oils with polish remover.
  2. Gently file and shape your natural nails. It’s best that they are as short as possible.
  3. With the cuticle pusher, carefully push back your cuticles to ensure the press-ons sit flush against your nails.
  4. Lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine and create better adhesion.
  5. Wash and dry your hands to remove dust.
  6. Before application, wipe your nail with at least 70% alcohol

 

APPLICATION

Option 1: Nail glue

  1. After ensuring the press-ons fit, apply a small dot of nail glue to the back of the press-on nail and spread it evenly.
  2. Now, do the same on your nail; apply a small dot of nail glue to the nail bed, and spread it evenly.
  3. Starting at a 45-degree angle, align the press-on to the cuticle and press down onto your nail. Hold firmly for 10-15 seconds to secure.
  4. Repeat for your other fingers!

Option 2: Sticky tabs

  1. After ensuring the press-ons fit, select the sticky tab that matches your natural nail size.
  2. Peel off the sticky tab and place it on your natural nail, pressing down firmly and ensuring no air bubbles. Remove the protective film.
  3. Starting at a 45-degree angle, align the press-on to the base of the sticky tab.
  4. Press down onto the sticky tab while pushing towards the cuticle. The sticky tab should stretch across your natural nail bed. Hold firmly for 10-15 seconds to secure.
  5. Ensure the press-on feels snug. If not; remove the nail and the sticky tab, choose a bigger-sized sticky tab, and repeat the above steps.
  6. Repeat for your other fingers!

 

AFTERCARE

  1. Avoid water, oil, or lotion for at least 2 hours. (Tip: apply them before bed!) This prevents loosening of the adhesion.
  2. Wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning.
  3. For removal, soak nails in warm, soapy water. Never apply force during the removal process as this can ruin your natural nails!

 

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT use gel as glue for your press-on nails. The lamp will not be able to penetrate the press-on nails, and the gel will not fully cure. Uncured nail gel can cause skin allergies, irritation, or respiratory issues.
