Press-On Application Guide

Why is this important? Clean and dry nails are essential for proper adhesion. Any dirt, oil, or residue can prevent the adhesive from sticking, causing the Press-On Nails to lift prematurely.

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
• Ensure your natural nails are free of polish or treatments.
• Dry hands completely before proceeding.

Why is this important? Ensuring your cuticles are pushed back allows the Press-Ons to fit snugly for a more seamless, professional look and to sit longer.

• Use a cuticle tool to gently push back the cuticles.
• Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging your skin.
  

Why is this important? A proper fit prevents discomfort, lifting, and premature detachment.

• Choose a Press-On Nail that fully covers your natural nail.
• A nail that is too large may lift, while one that is too small can allow water to seep in, weakening the adhesive.
• Lay out the correct sizes in order for easy application.

Important:
Ensure the number on the back of the Press-On Nail faces the tip of your natural nail, not the base.

Why is this important? Buffing creates a slightly rough surface, helping the glue tabs adhere better and ensuring longer-lasting wear.

• Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails with a gentle nail file.
• Do not over-buff—just create enough texture for the adhesive to grip.

Tip:
If needed, trim your natural nails for a better fit.

Why is this important? Selecting the right glue tab size ensures a secure and long-lasting fit.

• Select a glue tab that covers your natural nail without touching your skin.
• If in doubt, opt for a slightly larger tab.
• Use alcohol wipe to clean your nails.
• Before peeling, check the fit by placing the glue tab over your nail.
• Once satisfied, peel off the protective film and apply the tab.

Why is this important? Proper application ensures a strong bond between the glue tab and your natural nail.

• Peel off the remaining protective film.
• Firmly press the glue tab onto your natural nail.
• Smooth out any air bubbles using your finger or a cuticle tool.

Tip:
Use tweezers for easier handling if needed.

Why is this important? Correct placement ensures a comfortable, long-lasting fit and prevents air pockets.

• Start with your dominant hand.
• Position the Press-On Nail at the base of your natural nail, slightly pushing it under the cuticle at a downward angle.
• Press down firmly for 10-20 seconds to allow the adhesive to bond.
• Apply the thumbs last.

Why is this important? Filing the edges enhances the seamless look of your manicure.

• Use a nail file to gently smooth any rough edges.

Why is this important? Proper removal prevents damage to your natural nails.

• Gently slide a cuticle stick between the Press-On and your natural nail.
• Work back and forth until the Press-On lifts off.
• Never force removal, as this can damage your natural nails and the Press-On Nails.
• Remember to save your Press-On nails as they are reusable.
