Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use press-on nails:
-
Prep your natural nails: Start by cleaning your nails with an alcohol-based cleanser to remove any dirt and oil. Then, push back your cuticles and trim your nails to the desired length.
-
Select the correct size: Choose press-on nails that fit the size of your natural nails. If they are too small or too large, they won’t adhere properly.
-
Apply adhesive: Apply a small amount of the included adhesive to the back of each press-on nail, and your natural nail.
-
Position and press: Line up the press-on nail with your natural nail and press it firmly onto your nail bed. Hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to dry.
-
Repeat: Repeat this process for each of your nails.
-
Trim and shape: Use nail clippers or scissors to trim the press-on nails to your desired length and shape.
-
Buff and file: Use a nail file to smooth out any rough edges and create a seamless look.
-
Enjoy: You’re done! Your press-on nails should last for several days or up to a week with proper care.
Note: Be careful when removing press-on nails, as pulling them off roughly can damage your natural nails. It's recommended to use acetone to dissolve the adhesive or gently lift the edges with a manicure stick.
