Application & Removal

Application Guide

  • With Sticky Tabs

    1. Trim your natural nails short.
    2. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles.
    3. Remove any dead skin around the cuticles for a cleaner look.
    4. Buff your nails until they lose their shine to improve grip.
    5. Clean your nails with alcohol pads to remove any oil or dirt.
    6. Choose the correct sticky tab size for each nail.
    7. Apply the sticky tabs onto your nail beds, one by one, and peel of the clear film to reveal the sticky sides
    8. Heat up the sticky sides with a hairdryer, this makes them last longer
    9. Place the press-on nail at a 45-degree angle, pressing from cuticle to tip, avoiding the skin.
    10. Press firmly on the nail for 30 seconds.
    11. Keep your nails away from water and oil for at least 2 hours after application.

    Remember: 

    Sticky tabs are ideal for short-term wear (1-2 days) or just for an event and make the nails easy to reuse and switch out whenever you want! For longer wear, use nail glue instead.

  • With Nail Glue

    1. Trim your natural nails short.
    2. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles.
    3. Remove any dead skin around the cuticles for a cleaner look.
    4. Buff your nails until they lose their shine to improve grip.
    5. Clean your nails with alcohol pads to remove any oil or dirt.
    6. Apply an even layer of glue to both your nail bed and the inside of the press-on nail where it will contact your nail. Avoid using too much glue.
    7. Place each press-on nail at a 45-degree angle, starting at the cuticle and pressing toward the tip, making sure there are no air bubbles. Avoid pressing the nail onto your skin.
    8. Press firmly on the nail for 30 seconds.
    9. Keep your nails away from water and oil for at least 2 hours after application.

    Remember: 

    You can still reuse press-on nails with glue by using a small nail drill (affordable and easy to find online). Glue is best if you want your nails to last 2-3 weeks, but you won’t be able to change them as often as with sticky tabs. For short-term use, stick with sticky tabs.

Removal Guide

  • Gentle Method

    1. Apply cuticle oil (or any oil) around the edges of your nails and close your nail bed.
    2. In a bowl, mix hot (not scalding) water with a little splash of oil and dish soap.
    3. Submerge your fingers in the solution for 10-20 minutes.
    4. After soaking, gently wiggle your nails to see if they begin to lift.
    5. If your nails are lifting, carefully use a cuticle pusher to lift the edges of the press-ons.
    6. If sticky tabs were used, continue using the cuticle pusher to remove any remaining tabs. Clean your press-on nails with alcohol pads and store them properly.
    7. If there is any remaining nail glue left on the press-ons, gently file it off using a nail file. You can apply acetone to your fingers only AFTER removing the press-on nails.
    8. Apply cuticle oil and hand cream to nourish your nails and skin.

    Note

    Please be careful when using acetone, as it may damage the press-on nails and affect their reusability.
