HOW TO APPLY
Follow these steps for a flawless, salon-quality application that lasts 2-3 weeks.
Prep Your Natural Nails
Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any old polish and wash your hands thoroughly. Use the cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles.
Pro Tip: Avoid applying any oils or lotions before application, they prevent adhesion.
Lightly Buff Your Nails
Use the mini file to gently buff the surface of your natural nails. This removes oils and creates texture for better adhesion.
Pro Tip: Don't over-buff! A few gentle strokes is enough.
Size Your Press-Ons
Lay out all 10 press-on nails and match them to each finger. The nail should fit your nail bed from side to side without overlapping your cuticles.
Pro Tip: If between sizes, choose slightly larger, you can file the sides for a perfect fit.
Apply Adhesive
For glue: Apply a thin layer to your natural nail AND the press-on. For sticky tabs: Place the tab on your natural nail and remove the backing.
Pro Tip: Less is more with glue! A thin, even coat works best.
Apply the Press-On
Starting from the cuticle edge, place the press-on at a 45° angle and press down firmly. Hold for 30-60 seconds with consistent pressure.
Pro Tip: Apply from pinky to thumb, this gives each nail time to set.
Press Out Air Bubbles
After applying, press firmly across the entire nail surface to remove any air bubbles. Focus on the edges and cuticle area.
Pro Tip: Use a rolling motion from base to tip to push out trapped air.
Avoid Water for 1 Hour
Allow the adhesive to fully cure. Avoid washing your hands, showering, or submerging in water for at least 1 hour after application.
Pro Tip: The longer you wait before water exposure, the better the adhesion!
