APPLICATION & REMOVAL
Collapsible content
How do I apply the press-on nails?
1. Try on the press-on nails without any glue to find the correct size for each finger. The press-on nail should cover your entire nail bed.
2. With clean and bare nails, gently buff the surface of your natural nail with the provided nail buffer or file.
3. For maximum wear, apply a dot of glue onto your natural nail and spread around. Leave a gap between the glue and the surrounding skin to prevent the glue from spilling and/or sticking to your skin. For shorter wear, apply a thin line of glue from the cuticle to the tip of the nail.
4. Apply the press-on nail. Apply pressure and hold for 15-25 seconds.
5. Repeat for each nail. File the press-on nails to reshape if desired.
The nail glue may have a runny consistency.
How long will the nails last?
The durability of the press-on nails depends on the amount of glue used and your activity level. The press-on nails will last less than a week if using the shorter wear glue instructions. They will last between 1-2 weeks if using the maximum wear glue instructions.
What do I do if a nail popped off?
Re-apply the nail using the same application instructions. Consider the amount of glue used and the level of wear you would like.
How do I remove the press-on nails?
Do not force or pull the press-on nails prematurely. Allow the glue to wear over the amount of time you are using your press-on nails. Removal time corresponds with the amount of glue used.
To remove the press-on nails, soak your nails in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Gently lift each side of the nail. The press-on nail will lift completely if ready.
