Press-on nails offer an easy and luxurious way to elevate your beauty routine, but like any luxury item, they require a little love and attention to keep them looking their best. With the right care, your press-on nails can stay as stunning as the day you applied them, offering long-lasting wear and allowing you to express your divine femininity effortlessly. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to properly apply, maintain, and remove your press-on nails to ensure they remain a shining reflection of your inner beauty.

Application Tips: Set the Foundation for Long-Lasting Glamour

The secret to beautiful, long-lasting press-on nails lies in the initial application. When you take the time to apply them properly, you'll not only achieve optimal adhesion but also ensure that your nails stay flawless for days, even weeks.

1. Prep Your Nails: Start by cleansing your natural nails thoroughly with an alcohol wipe to remove any oils or residue. Gently push back your cuticles using the included cuticle stick, ensuring a smooth surface for your press-ons.

2. File and Buff: Lightly file the surface of your natural nails to create a rougher texture, which helps the press-ons adhere better. Be sure to shape the edges of your nails as well, so the press-ons fit snugly.

3. Choose Your Adhesive: For temporary wear (1-2 days), use the provided nail tabs, which are easy to apply and remove without damaging your natural nails. For longer-lasting wear, opt for nail glue. Apply a small drop of glue to both your natural nail and the press-on for a secure fit.

4. Press and Hold: Align the press-on with your natural nail and gently press down for 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Be sure to press firmly from the cuticle to the tip for the best adhesion.

Maintenance: Keep Your Nails Looking Luxurious and Fresh

Once your press-on nails are perfectly applied, maintaining their glossy finish and preventing breakage is key to preserving their beauty. Here are some simple yet effective tips to keep your nails looking fresh:

• Avoid Excessive Water Exposure: While our press-ons are made to withstand daily activities, excessive exposure to water (like long soaks in the bath or doing dishes without gloves) can weaken the adhesive. Consider wearing gloves when engaging in water-heavy tasks.

• Keep Them Clean: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean your nails, avoiding harsh chemicals that could dull their shine. If you're wearing 3D designs like our 3D Strawberry or Pink Holographic Shimmer, take extra care when cleaning around the raised designs to prevent them from chipping or breaking.

• File the Tips: To avoid snags or breakage, regularly check the tips of your press-ons and file them lightly if needed. This small act of care will prolong the life of your nails and keep them looking sharp.

Removal: Gently Remove Without Damage for Reuse

Removing your press-on nails properly is essential to preserving both the nails and your natural nail bed. With the right technique, you can reuse your press-ons multiple times, making them a worthwhile investment in your self-care routine.

1. Soak in Warm Water: Begin by soaking your hands in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. This softens the adhesive and makes the nails easier to remove.

2. Loosen the Edges: Gently use a cuticle stick to lift the edges of the press-ons, starting from the side. Be patient and avoid pulling the nails off too quickly to prevent damage.

3. Remove with Oil or Acetone: If the nails don’t come off easily after soaking, apply a small amount of cuticle oil or acetone around the edges and let it sit for a minute. This will loosen the adhesive further and allow for gentle removal.

4. Buff the Backs: After removal, lightly buff the backs of the press-on nails to remove any remaining glue. This will prepare them for reuse, ensuring they stay in top condition for your next beauty ritual.
