1. Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any old nail polish and ensure your nails are free from oils and debris.
2. If needed, trim and file your natural nails to your desired length.
3. Use a cuticle stick to gently push back your cuticles for a neat application.
4. Wipe your nails with an alcohol pad to remove any remaining oils or dust, ensuring a strong adhesive grip.
5. Choose the appropriate press-on nail size for each finger. If two sizes are similar, choose for the smaller size to ensure a comfortable fit.
6. Apply an adhesive sheet to the back of the press-on nail or directly to your natural nail.
7. Align the press-on nail with your natural nail, starting at the cuticle and pressing down firmly. Hold for about 10-20 seconds to ensure a secure bond.
8. Refrain from exposing your nails to water for at least 2 hours after application to allow the adhesive to set properly.
9. When you’re ready to remove the press-on nails, gently lift the edges using a cuticle stick or soak your nails in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive.
