Application & Removal
To maximize the durability of the nails, it is important to apply and remove them correctly.
Application
Start by pushing back the cuticles with the cuticle pusher. Lightly file the nail plate and wipe off with the wipe.
​
Then choose between nail glue or sticky tabs. You'll receive all of these items when you order the press-on nails.
​
Sticky Tabs:
Choose the right size, and if none fits perfectly, place them horizontally. Position them about 1 mm away from the cuticle and warm them with a hairdryer for 10 seconds. Rub the sticky tabs to spread them evenly across the nail from side to side (do not pull towards the cuticle). Remove the plastic backing and place the press-on nail about 2 mm from the cuticle. Press downwards and towards the cuticle at the same time, hold and press for 10 seconds.
​
With sticky tabs, the nails stay on for up to 3 days. Ideal for those with jobs or hobbies that require them to be removed. However, with sticky tabs, you can reapply the nails almost as many times as you like, as the sticky tabs can be completely removed from the underside of the press-on nail without using an electric file.
​
Nail Glue:
Apply a small drop in the center of your natural nail and spread evenly using the glue applicator's tip. Then place a small amount in the press-on nail and spread, avoiding the edges. Hold the press-on nail at a 45-degree angle, gently press toward the cuticle, and then down onto the nail plate to distribute the glue outward. Ensure the nail is straight, press down, and hold for at least 20 seconds. Apply even pressure over the entire nail to avoid air bubbles.
​
With nail glue, the nails last 1-3 weeks, but for reapplication, you may need to file off the hardened glue from the underside of the nail with an electric file. This can reduce the number of reapplications compared to sticky tabs, depending, for example, on whether you have an electric file or not.
Removal
How do I remove the press-on nails without damaging my own nails?
Fill a bowl with warm water and then add a little soap and oil. Keep your hands in the bowl for 10-15 minutes. Wiggle your fingers during this time for better effect. By now, some of the nails should have fallen off. For the remaining nails, you can carefully insert a cuticle pusher underneath, and the nails should pop off. If the nails are still quite firmly attached, avoid pulling them off; instead, dip them back into the bowl for a little longer.
