✨ Before Application

Preparing your natural nails is the most important step for long‑lasting wear.

• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water to remove dirt and oils.

• Push back cuticles gently using a cuticle pusher.

• Trim or file natural nails to your preferred length.

• Lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine and help the glue adhere better.

• Clean nails with alcohol wipes to remove any remaining oils, lotion, or dust.

• Ensure nails are completely dry before applying glue.

• Avoid using lotions or oils before application, as this can weaken adhesion.

​

💅 Application

Follow these steps for a secure, long‑lasting hold:

1. Lay out your press‑on nails in order from thumb to pinky.

2. Check sizing to ensure each nail matches your natural nail.

3. Apply a thin, even layer of nail glue to your natural nail.

4. Add a small dot of glue inside the press‑on nail for extra hold.

5. Press the nail firmly onto your natural nail for 10–20 seconds, ensuring there are no air bubbles.

6. Repeat for all nails, working one hand at a time.

7. Avoid water, steam, or heavy activity for at least 1 hour after application to allow the glue to fully cure.

🛁 Removal

Removing your press‑ons safely protects your natural nails.

• Do not force or pull the nails off — this can damage your natural nail.

• Soak nails in warm soapy water, cuticle oil, or an oil‑based remover for 10–15 minutes.

• Once softened, gently lift from the sides using a cuticle stick.

• If the nail resists, soak longer — never force removal.

• After removal, clean your natural nails, buff lightly if needed, and moisturise with cuticle oil or hand cream.

⏳ Longevity Tips

These tips help extend the life of your press‑ons and keep them looking fresh:

• Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in the first 24 hours.

• Wear gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, or using chemicals.

• Avoid using your nails as tools (opening cans, scratching off labels, etc.).

• Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your natural nails healthy and flexible.

• Store your press‑ons in their original box to keep them clean and protected.

• Add a small dot of glue under any lifting edges to extend wear time.

​

♻️ Reusing Your Press‑Ons

Many press‑on sets can be reused with proper care.

• Remove old glue from the back of the press‑on using a wooden stick or gentle file.

• Store nails in a clean, dry container.

• Use fresh glue for each re‑wear.

• Avoid soaking press‑ons in acetone, as this can damage the design.
