Press-on nail care: make your set last longer
Share
A polished press-on routine is mostly about prep. Clean nails, correct sizing, and patient removal help your set look better and last longer.
Before application
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Push back cuticles gently.
- Buff lightly so the surface is smooth.
- Remove oil with a prep pad or alcohol wipe.
During wear
Avoid soaking your hands for long periods right after application. Use gloves when cleaning and keep cuticle oil around the skin, not under the nail.
Removal
Never force the nail off. Soften the adhesive first, then lift gently from the side. Careful removal helps the set stay reusable.
