How to get your press-ons to last 🤍

I’ve been using BTArtBox Press-ons since before everyone started getting them and here’s how I get mines to last just as long as acrylic nails!

Step 1: I find all my right sizes. I make sure the nail fits from sidewall to sidewall even after applying just a little bit of pressure.

Step 2: I wash my hands and prep my nails by using my electric file and gently take the shine off my natural nails.

Step 3: Once I did that for all my nails I get the glue and squeeze just a little out on the end of the nail. I put it on my nail beds and once I get it how I need it I place it under my uv lamp for 30s.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 until my hand is completely done and do a final cure under my lamp for 60s.

Step 5: Apply the builder gel (step 1) for extra protection and thickness and cure for 30s.

Step 6: Apply the top coat (step 2) and do a final cure for 60s.

I do this with all my nails from that brand and they last me for a full 2+ weeks like I got them done at a salon and it costs half the price!

... Read morePress-on nails have gained immense popularity for their convenience and versatility. By choosing quality brands like BTArtBox, you can achieve beautiful results without the salon price tag. To ensure your press-ons last, it's essential to start with proper nail prep. Cleaning your nails and filing them can create a better foundation. Also, selecting the right size nails is crucial; they should fit snugly from one side of your nail to the other. Using a quality gel glue and curing it properly under UV light contributes to durability, enhancing the bond between the press-on and your natural nail. Additionally, using a builder gel as a top layer can provide extra strength and style. Many users find that incorporating a final shine boost with a top coat not only improves the look but also seals everything in place, helping guard against chipping and lifting. Enjoy your gorgeous nails with confidence and share your creations with fellow beauty enthusiasts on platforms like Lemon8!
