Application & Care Guide

Good preparation makes the biggest difference to fit and wear. Choose the correct size for every nail before opening or applying any adhesive.

Four visual steps for applying press-on nails with adhesive tabs

Prepare Your Natural Nails

  1. Wash your hands and dry them completely.
  2. Gently push back the cuticles with a wooden stick.
  3. Lightly buff away surface shine and remove all dust.
  4. Wipe each nail with an alcohol pad to remove oil and moisture.

Apply with Adhesive Tabs

  1. Choose a tab that fits the natural nail without touching the skin.
  2. Place the tab on the nail and press from the centre toward the edges.
  3. Remove the protective film, then align the press-on close to the cuticle at a slight angle.
  4. Press firmly across the entire nail for 15-20 seconds.

Adhesive tabs are best for short-term wear and easy reuse. Avoid water, oil, lotion, and steam for at least two hours after application.

Apply with Nail Glue

  1. Follow the directions and safety information supplied with your nail glue.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer. Avoid skin and cuticles.
  3. Align the press-on near the cuticle and lower it onto the nail at a slight angle.
  4. Press firmly for the time stated on the adhesive packaging.

Wear time varies with preparation, adhesive, nail shape, and daily activity. Never use more adhesive than the product directions recommend.

Four visual steps for gentle press-on nail removal and storage

Remove Adhesive Tabs

  1. Soak fingertips in comfortably warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. A small amount of cuticle oil can help loosen the edges.
  2. Gently work a wooden stick under one side of the press-on. Stop and soak again if it resists.
  3. Roll away remaining tab adhesive with the wooden stick.
  4. Clean and dry the press-ons before storing them.

Remove Nail Glue

Use the removal method recommended by your glue manufacturer. Apply remover only as directed, allow enough time for the adhesive to loosen, and lift gently from the side. Never pull, pry, or force a press-on from the natural nail.

Care & Reuse

  • Wear gloves for cleaning, dishwashing, and prolonged water exposure.
  • Avoid using your press-ons as tools to open or scrape objects.
  • After removal, clear away adhesive gently without thinning the press-on.
  • Store clean, dry nails in their case away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
  • Stop use if you experience pain, redness, swelling, or irritation.
