Application & Removal

  • 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.
