How do I apply my press-on nails?
-
PREPARATION:
Start with clean, dry nails.
Gently push back your cuticles to ensure the press-on nails adhere smoothly.
-
SELECT NAIL SIZES
Choose the press-on nails that match the size and shape of your natural nails for the best fit.
-
STICK
With Jelly Stickers (short term):
- Clean the nail bed with the supplied alcohol pad
- Peel off the protective backing from the jelly sticker.
- Place the jelly sticker onto your natural nail, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Press the press-on nail onto the jelly sticker, starting from the cuticle at about a 45 degree angle and press down firmly.
- Hold in place for about 30-60 seconds to allow a secure bond.
With Nail Glue (for longevity):
- Clean the nail bed with the supplied alcohol pad
- Apply a drop of nail glue onto your natural nail and a drop to the press-on nail.
- Press the press-on nail onto your natural nail, starting from the cuticle at about a 45 degree angle and press down firmly.
-
Hold in place for about 30-90 seconds to allow the glue to set.

SERVE
Once all press-on nails are applied, gently file and shape them to your desired length and style.
