How to Apply Press-On Nails

Method 1: Apply Press-On Nails with Adhesive Tabs

  1. Choose the correct press-on nail size for each natural nail.
  2. Gently push back your cuticles and lightly buff the surface of your natural nails.
  3. Wipe each nail with an alcohol pad and allow it to dry completely.
  4. Select an adhesive tab that is slightly smaller than your natural nail.
  5. Apply the adhesive tab to your natural nail and press firmly to remove any air bubbles.
  6. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive tab.
  7. Align the press-on nail with your cuticle line, then press it down from the cuticle toward the tip.
  8. Press and hold firmly for 20–30 seconds. Repeat for all nails.
  9. Avoid water, hand cream, and oil for at least one hour after application.

Method 2: Apply Press-On Nails with Nail Glue

  1. Choose the correct press-on nail size for each natural nail.
  2. Gently push back your cuticles and lightly buff the surface of your natural nails.
  3. Wipe each nail with an alcohol pad and allow it to dry completely.
  4. Apply a thin, even layer of nail glue to your natural nail and the underside of the press-on nail.
  5. Position the press-on nail at the cuticle line at a slight angle, then lower it onto the natural nail.
  6. Press firmly from the cuticle to the tip, making sure there are no air bubbles.
  7. Hold the nail in place for 30–45 seconds. Repeat for all nails.
  8. Wipe away any excess glue immediately, avoiding contact with the skin.
  9. Keep your hands dry and avoid water, lotion, or oil for at least one hour after application.

 

How to Remove Press-On Nails Safely

  1. Fill a bowl with comfortably warm water and add a few drops of dish soap.
  2. Soak your fingertips for 10–15 minutes to soften the adhesive.
  3. Apply cuticle oil or body oil around the edges of each press-on nail.
  4. Gently rock the nail from side to side or use a wooden cuticle stick to lift it from the cuticle edge.
  5. If the nail still feels firmly attached, soak it for another 5–10 minutes. Do not pull, peel, or force it off.
  6. Remove any remaining glue or adhesive tabs gently with a buffer or cuticle stick.
  7. Wash your hands, then apply cuticle oil and hand cream to moisturize your natural nails and skin.

Important: If you used strong nail glue and the nails will not loosen after soaking, use a nail-glue remover as directed or seek professional removal. Never force the nails off, as this may damage your natural nails.
