Application

  1. Cut or file your natural nail as short as possible.
  2. Push cuticle back with the wooden stick.
  3. Lightly scratch the surface of the natural nail with the buffer.
  4. Wipe the natural nail surface with an alcohol wipe.
  5. Place nail glue on the natural nail and on the inside bottom part of the press-on nail.
  6. Align the bottom of the press-on nail about 2 mm from the cuticle.
  7. Press the nail down on the natural nail, slightly pushing up toward the cuticle.
  8. Apply light pressure for about 20 seconds.
  9. Gently let go and move on to the next nail!

Soak your fingers in warm water with oil and dish soap for 10 – 15 minutes, or for faster removal, simply flood the cuticle (around the nail) with oil. The glue will become loose, and you will be able to lift the press-on nail off the natural nail with the wooden stick. Wipe the press-on nails with alcohol and store them back in the original box to wear them again!

If the nail is too wide, you may want to consider ordering a different size for your next order. But if you are between 2 sizes, you can order the wider one and file both sides of the nail, slowly and carefully, until it fits on your natural nailbed without touching the skin on the edges of your nails.

The press on nails are etched inside to ensure maximum adherence. If you follow the application instructions provided and the “How to prolong wear” tips, the nails will stay on between 2 – 3 weeks.

If you only want to wear the nails for 1 – 2 days, use “sticky tabs” instead of nail glue.

In general, water and oil will loosen the nail glue over time. Follow these tips to extend the wear of your nails:

  • Don’t expose your nails to water within a few hours of a new application.
  • Wear gloves when doing the dishes or cleaning.
  • Don’t use your nails to scratch, lift or puncture things.

Yes you can! Just make sure to remove the nail carefully to maintain its structure and design, gently wipe each nail with aclohol, and store until you’re ready to wear them again.
