Application, Removal & Reuse Guide
Step 1 — Nail Preparation
Clean nails are the single biggest factor in how well press-ons hold.
- Remove any existing polish and wash hands thoroughly.
- Gently push back cuticles with the included tool — do not cut.
- Lightly buff the surface of each nail to remove shine.
- Wipe each nail with a cotton pad moistened with rubbing alcohol or nail-prep solution and let dry completely. Skip lotion, oils, and water contact for at least 30 minutes before applying.
Step 2 — Size Selection
- Before applying any adhesive, lay out one press-on per nail and confirm the fit. The press-on should cover the full nail bed from side wall to side wall without touching skin.
- File the sides of a press-on slightly if it is a close fit — filing skin contact prevents early lifting.
Step 3 — Adhesive Choice
This kit includes both adhesive tabs and nail glue. Choose based on your needs:
- Adhesive tabs — recommended for first-time use, short-term wear, or when you plan to reuse the nails. Press firmly for 10–15 seconds per nail. Avoid water for at least 1 hour after application.
- Nail glue — recommended for longer hold or more active days. Apply a thin line of glue to the press-on (not the natural nail), press firmly for 15–20 seconds, and avoid water for at least 2 hours after application.
Note: Nail glue bonds more strongly than tabs. If you plan to reuse the press-ons, adhesive tabs are the better choice.
Step 4 — Application
- Starting at the cuticle end, align the press-on at a slight angle, then press down and hold firmly. Apply pressure from the center outward to push out any air bubbles.
- Work from pinky to thumb on each hand.
- Once all nails are on, press each one firmly one more time.
Removal — Adhesive Tabs
- Soak fingertips in warm, soapy water for 5–10 minutes to loosen the tab.
- Gently rock the press-on side to side — do not pull straight up or force it off.
- If resistance remains, soak for another few minutes before trying again.
Removal — Nail Glue
- Soak fingertips in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes.
- Apply a small amount of cuticle oil or acetone-based nail polish remover around the edges and allow it to work under the press-on for 1–2 minutes.
- Gently rock and wiggle the press-on from side to side until it lifts. Do not pry or force.
- Never pull press-ons off dry. Forcing removal without soaking can damage the natural nail.
Adhesive Residue Cleanup
- On natural nails: Gently buff away any remaining tab adhesive with the included buffer. For glue residue, apply a drop of acetone-free nail polish remover, let it sit for 30 seconds, then wipe with a cotton pad. Finish with cuticle oil.
- On press-on nails (for reuse): Peel off the used adhesive tab by hand. For stubborn residue, use a cuticle stick to gently lift edges — do not soak the press-ons in acetone as this can damage the finish.
Gentle Reuse
- Press-ons applied with adhesive tabs can typically be reused. After removal, clean off the old tab and allow the press-on to dry fully before storing.
- Inspect each nail for cracks or warping before reuse — damaged nails will not adhere flat and should be replaced.
- Store cleaned press-ons in their original tray or a small, dry container away from humidity to keep their shape.
- Always use a fresh adhesive tab (not the used one) for each reapplication.
