Prep (2 minutes)
- Wash your hands and push back your cuticles.
- Lightly buff the surface of each nail to remove shine.
- Wipe nails with the prep pad or rubbing alcohol and let them dry completely — oils are the #1 reason press-ons lift.
Size
Lay the press-ons over each nail and pick the one that covers side to side without overlapping the skin. File the sides if you're between sizes.
Apply
- Apply a thin layer of nail glue to your natural nail (or place an adhesive tab).
- Line the press-on up at the cuticle, press down at a slight angle and hold firmly for 15–20 seconds.
- Repeat for every nail, then avoid water for one hour.
Remove
Soak in warm soapy water with a few drops of oil for 10–15 minutes, then lift gently from the sides. Never pull or pry. Buff away any remaining glue and moisturize your nails.
