Press-On Nail Application & Removal Guide

1. Trim and Shape Your Nails

Start by trimming your natural nails to your desired length. Use a nail file to smooth and shape the edges. This helps the press-on nails fit comfortably and adhere properly.

2. Push Back the Cuticles

Using the cuticle stick from our Prep Kit (or a suitable tool), gently push back your cuticles. This creates a clean surface and helps prevent lifting.

3. Buff and Clean Your Nails

Lightly buff the surface of your nails using a sponge buffer to remove shine and natural oils. This helps improve adhesion.

 After buffing, cleanse your nails thoroughly with an alcohol pad to remove dust and residue.

4. Apply Sticky Tabs

Select the correct size sticky tab for each nail. Peel the tab from the backing and apply it firmly to your natural nail.

 For extra hold, gently warm the sticky tabs with a blow dryer for a few seconds once applied—this helps activate the adhesive.

5. Attach the Press-On Nails

Align the press-on nail at a 45-degree angle, then press down firmly. Hold in place for approximately 15 seconds, applying even pressure to avoid air bubbles.

6. Avoid Water Exposure

Avoid water for at least 2 hours after application. This allows the adhesive to fully set and ensures longer-lasting wear.

Sticky Tabs

 Lasts up to 1 week Best for short-term wear & reuse Apply sticky tab to natural nail and press firmly for 30 seconds. Remove the protective backing. Apply press-on at a 45° angle, press for 10–15 seconds. Avoid water for 2–3 hours.

Nail Glue

Lasts up to 3 weeks Strong hold, may reduce reusability Apply a small amount of nail glue to the underside of the press-on. Apply at a 45° angle, press firmly over the entire nail. Hold for 10–15 seconds. Handle gently — jewels, not tools.

Solid Nail Glue Gel 

(UV/LED Required) Long-lasting, strong hold Repositionable before curing Apply a small amount of solid glue gel to the press-on. Apply at a 45° angle, adjust if needed. Wipe away excess gel. Cure under UV/LED lamp for 1–3 minutes.
