Press on nail care
How to apply Press on nails
step 1: Prep!
DO NOT miss this step as prepping your nails correctly is essential to allowing your press on's to stay on as long as possible!
1. Start by pushing back your cuticles using the cuticle stick & filing down your nails.
2. Size our nails by placing them above your natural nail beds and choosing the ones that have the most suitable fit.
3. Gently buff your nails using the nail fliler in the kit.
4. Wipe all your nails completely with a alcohol wipe. This will remove the natural oils on your nailbeds which prevents the adhesive from working as well!
Step 2: Choose Adhesive
Option 1) Sticky Tabs (Short term wear)
• Choose the sticky tab that is the correct size for each of your nail beds, and apply the adhesive.
Option 2) Nail Glue (Longer term wear)
• Apply a pea sized amount of nail glue on your natural nail, and on the back of the nails.
• Be careful not to touch the glue with your fingertips, as it bonds quickly!
Step 3: Press!
Apply our nails at a 45 degree angle and press down firmly for 20-30 seconds, ensuring you remove all air bubbles upon application.
Tips!
• To extend the wear of your press on's, avoid water contact 3 hours after application
• Do not touch your nails with your fingertips AFTER you've wiped them with the alcohol pad, as that will add back the oils on your nails that you removed with the alcohol wipe.
• Make sure to choose the right SIZE for your nails that aren't too large, or too small, as this might cause the nails to fall off pre-maturely! Having press on's either too small or large for you means that water can get under your press on's, and interact with the glue underneath which might cause discolouration or pre-mature lifting.
Removal of Press on nails
You can easily remove your press on's with NO damage by soaking them in hot water, soap and oil (any kind such as cuticle oil, kitchen oil or body oil) for 10-15 minutes!
** Note: Some nails may take longer than others to come off depending on how much glue you used, and how long it's been since you've applied your press on's.
