How to make your press on nails last

I’m a press on nail girly through and through and after years of wearing them I’ve finally mastered how to make them last two weeks!

Step 1: apply cuticle remover and use the stick to push the cuticle back and clean them up.

Step 2: buff the nail to allow the glue to grip better.

Step 3: wipe the nails clean with alcohol to remove oils and dust/dirt.

Step 4: grab your press ons & start finding/matching sizes that best for your nail (it’s better to be larger and file down that to be smaller).

Step 5: apply the glue (this is the best nail glue and I’ve tried many) to both nail & press on, glue together, press down for 15 seconds firmly and continue on each nail.

Step 6: file down the press ons once they’re all on, and then apply cuticle oil.

Step 7: apply hand lotion

And voila, beautiful nails in 15 mins!

... Read morePress-on nails are all the rage, especially for those seeking a quick and stylish manicure solution. If you want to extend the life of your press-ons, there are several factors to consider. First, selecting high-quality press-on nails can make a significant difference. Look for brands that offer strong adhesives and durable materials, as these will withstand daily wear and tear. Another crucial step is proper nail preparation. Ensure your natural nails are clean, dry, and free from oils. You can achieve this by using alcohol wipes before application. Additionally, matching the press-on sizes to your natural nails is vital; a perfect fit ensures better adhesion and minimizes lifting. Once applied, consider using cuticle oil regularly to maintain moisture and flexibility, which helps prevent chipping. Protect your nails by avoiding excessive exposure to water and harsh chemicals, and opt for gloves when doing chores. Regular upkeep can help you enjoy beautiful press-on nails for longer! If you're looking for trendy styles and unique designs, check out popular hashtags like #pressonmani and #nailinspo2023 for inspiration. Remember, a good manicure can be both affordable and stunning with the right techniques and care!
