As you match your press-ons to your nails, line them up with how you plan to apply them. Your natural nails shouldn’t show on the sides or the free edge. Feel free to file the sides of the press-ons to better fit your nail only if necessary.
Begin pushing your cuticles back with your wood cuticle pusher gently.
Gently use your buffer to remove the shine on the top of your nail and dead skin near the cuticles and side walls of each nail.
File the free edge of your nails as needed to properly fit your press-ons. The shorter your natural nail, the better fit you may have. You may also need to file the sides towards the middle depending on the shape of your press-on.
Use your alcohol wipe to remove any oils and dust from the nail.
Application
glue tabs ( shorter daily wear )
Before removing each glue tab, size them over your nail.
Remove each tab and press it on the nail then remove the clear plastic and apply your press-on nail starting from the cuticle area and putting pressure on the nail.
glue ( longer wear depending on your lifestyle )
Apply a small amount of glue to the middle of your nail and free edge then quickly put glue on the inside of your press-on nail.
Apply a generous amount of glue on the press-on nail towards the base/cuticle
Starting from the cuticle apply your press-on nail at a 45-degree angle and press firmly on your nail for at least 30 seconds.
Allow about 30 minutes to an hour to fully dry without getting your hands wet.
glue tabs & glue ( longest wear depending on your lifestyle )
Combine the steps for glue tabs and liquid glue to have even longer-lasting press-ons
Removal
Remove your press-ons with the intent to wear them again. Put cuticle oil in warm soapy water and soak your nails for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Allow the glue/tabs to soften enough that you can lift off your nail without ripping. DO NOT TEAR OFF YOUR PRESS-ONS SINCE THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR NATURAL NAIL.
Use your buffer to remove any remaining glue very gently and use your detail filing stick to remove any remaining glue from your press-on nail.
Care
Use cuticle oil to maintain the health of your natural nails as they grow
Store your press-ons in a safe place like on the display strips they came. To refresh the top coat you can wipe the top of each press-on with isopropyl alcohol. DO NOT USE ACETONE OR POLISH REMOVER SINCE THIS WILL BEGIN TO SOAK OFF THE GEL POLISH ON YOUR PRESS-ONS.
