Press ons application process!

Applying press on nails properly can significantly extend their wear and keep your natural nails healthy. First, prepping your nails well is essential—clean and dry them thoroughly, then use a cuticle pusher to gently remove dead skin around the nail bed, ensuring a smooth surface. Next, lightly buff your nails to create texture, which helps the glue adhere better and prevents premature lifting. Select the right size press on nails for each finger; they should fit comfortably. If you have to press down hard to make them fit, they're too small and will lift quickly. When applying glue, put a thin layer at the base of the artificial nail and spread it upwards—avoid using too much to prevent mess and bubbles. Apply the press on nail at a 45-degree angle starting at the cuticle, then gently lay it down while pressing firmly for at least a minute to ensure proper bonding. Avoid air bubbles under the nails by smoothing out from the center toward the edges during application. If air bubbles appear, gently lift and reposition the nail before the glue sets. After all nails are applied, avoid water exposure for a few hours to allow the glue to fully harden, which will help the nails last up to 2-3 months with proper care. Regular maintenance includes moisturizing your cuticles and avoiding using your nails as tools to prevent lifting or damage. Removing press on nails safely by soaking them in warm water or using an acetone-based remover reduces harm to your natural nails. By attentively following these steps and using quality materials like strong nail glue and proper tools such as buffers and cuticle cutters, you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting press on nails that not only look salon-perfect but also support nail hygiene and health.
