A simple guide to applying and removing your press on nails

 

Our press on nails can be applied using either adhesive nail tabs or nail glue.

Use adhesive nail tabs for temporary wear 

Use nail glue for a stronger hold and longer wear

Choose the application method that best suits your plans, lifestyle, and how long you would like to wear your nails.

Tip: For the best result, apply your nails before going to sleep so they can set overnight. If applying during the day, avoid water, oil, or lotion for at least 2 hours after application.

Apply with Adhesive Nail Tabs

Adhesive nail tabs are perfect for short-term wear and easy removal.

Wear time: 3–7 days
Best for: Parties, date nights, events, photoshoots, or temporary wear
Removal: Easy and gentle to remove

This method is great if you want to change your nail style often or only wear your press-on nails for a special occasion.

How to Apply with Nail Tabs

  1. Wash and dry your hands completely.
  2. Gently push back your cuticles.
  3. Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails.
  4. Clean your nails with the alcohol pad.
  5. Choose the correct size adhesive tab for each nail.
  6. Apply the tab to your natural nail and press firmly.
  7. Peel off the protective film.
  8. Place the press-on nail on top and press down for 15–20 seconds.

For the best result, avoid water, oil, or lotion for at least 1 hour after application.

Apply with Nail Glue

Nail glue is best for longer wear and a stronger hold.

Wear time: 2–3 weeks
Best for: Daily wear, holidays, long events, or when you want a salon-like lasting result
Removal: Use nail glue remover for safe removal

  4. Remove any leftover adhesive from your natural nail and press-on nail.
  5. Keep your press-on nails in the storage box so they can be reused.

  1. Use the nail glue remover included in your application kit.
  2. Apply the remover around the edges of the press-on nail.
  3. Wait until the glue starts to loosen.
  4. Gently lift the nail using the wooden cuticle stick.
