Prepare

  • CLEAN & TRIM: Start with clean, dry hands. Cut and shape your natural nails so they do not peek out from under the press-ons.

  • PUSH CUTICLES: Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. Remove any dead skin on the nail plate.

  • BUFF SURFACE: Lightly buff your natural nail surface with a nail file to remove the natural shine. This gives the glue or adhesive something to grip.

  • DEHYDRATE: Wipe your nails thoroughly with an alcohol prep pad to remove all oils, dust, and residue. Let them dry completely. 

Application

  • SETUP: Match each press-on nail to your fingers before applying any glue & lay them out in order

  • GLUE: Apply a small, thin layer of glue to your natural nail and to the back of the press-on nail.

  • APPLICATION: Hold the press-on at a 45-degree angle near the cuticle, then slowly lower it down onto your natural nail.

  • HOLD: Press down firmly and hold for 15 to 30 seconds to secure the bond. Wipe away any excess glue immediately.

  • AFTERCARE: Avoid getting your hands wet or washing dishes for at least 1 to 2 hours to let the glue fully set.
