Preparation is the most important step of the application. Good preparation ensures your press-on nails last.

Preparing the nails before application

STEP 1: PUSH BACK YOUR CUTICLES

Gently push back your cuticles with the stick provided.

STEP 2: BUFF YOUR NAILS

Very lightly file the surface of your nails to make it less smooth and improve adhesion.

Choosing the adhesive tabs

STEP 1: APPLY THE ADHESIVE TABS

After preparing your nails, choose an adhesive tab that matches the size of each nail.

Peel the tab off its backing and apply it to your nail. Press firmly so it adheres to the entire surface.

STEP 4: SECURE THE PRESS-ON NAIL

Press firmly and hold for 10 to 15 seconds. Repeat for each nail.

Avoid contact with water for the first 2 to 3 hours so the adhesive can set properly.

If your natural nails are short, we recommend the following method.
