Apply & Remove
Tips & Tricks:
- Applying a peel-off polish to your natural nails prior to application is recommended but not necessary. This facilitates an easier removal of the press-on nails.
- To ensure the press-ons resemble your natural nails, file the bottom to match the shape of your cuticles before applying them.
- For a natural look, apply glue to the center of your natural nails and the bottom back of the press-on nails. Then, attach the press-on nails at a 45-degree angle, starting from your cuticles and pressing down.
Application:
1. Prepare Your Natural Nails: Start by cleaning your natural nails with nail polish remover to remove any oils or residues. Lightly buff the surface of your nails to create a slightly rough base for better glue adhesion.
2. Select the Correct Size: Choose adhesive tabs that match the size of your natural nails. Trim the tabs if necessary to fit your nail size perfectly.
3. Apply Adhesive Tabs or Glue:
- Tabs: Peel off the backing from one adhesive tab and place it on your natural nail, making sure to align it with the cuticle.
- Glue: Apply a small drop of nail glue to the back of the press-on nail. Avoid applying too much to prevent excess glue from oozing out.
4. Attach the Press-On Nail: Align the press-on nail with your natural nail and press down firmly to secure it in place.
5. Press and Hold: Apply pressure to the press-on nail for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to bond effectively.
6. Repeat for Other Nails: Repeat the process for each nail until all press-on nails are securely attached.
Removal:
1. Soak Your Nails:
- Tabs: Soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water for a few minutes. This will help loosen the adhesive.
- Glue: Soak your fingertips in acetone-based nail polish remover for about 10-15 minutes.
2. Gently Lift: Use a cuticle stick to gently lift the press-on nails from the sides. If they don't lift easily, soak your nails for a few more minutes until the glue softens. Avoid pulling or forcing them off, as this can damage your natural nails.
3. Clean Residue: After removing the press-on nails, use a nail buffer or file to gently remove any remaining glue residue from your natural nails.
