Clean & prep
Once you have your press ons picked out and ready to go, all there's left to do is... Take care of your own nails. It all starts with a well-prepped foundation. There is no use acing all of the other steps if you start off with badly maintained nail beds.

Cuticles
Dry cuticles might not look entirely threatening to the process, but they definitely impact how well your press-on nails with attach to your natural nail bed.
Use a cuticle remover, nippers, or a nail brush to gently exfoliate and remove any build-up dead skin. While you can definitely take care of this in one go, we recommend you focus on the regular maintenance of your cuticles for the best result. In each press on nail kit, we include a cuticle stick that is gentle enough to push back your cuticles without creating any damage to your nail bed.

Clip
While we recommend you to file your nails regularly to avoid clipping, we can't always refrain from having to cut down on a lot of length when applying certain shapes or lengths of press on nails. The main purpose of filing and or cutting down your natural nails is so that your nails don't show out from underneath the press on, which helps the press ons look as natural as possible.
Carefully clip your nails to the appropriate length (based on personal preference and your chosen press on nails). Make sure not to go too short, as this can be painful and hurt your skin.

File and buff
Whether or not you clip your nails first, filing your nails is an absolutely essential step - both for general natural nail health and to successfully apply your press ons. We don't want any snagging!

Take your nail file that comes in your kit (using the blue side) to simply file your nails in one single direction. This way, you will avoid snaggy nails and decrease the possibility of your nails breaking and cracking.

Next, gently buff up the surface of your natural nail with the pink side of the nail file included in your kit. Buffing your nails provides more grip for the glue to adhere, which gives you longer lasting results and wear time. But, if you only plan on wearing your press ons for 3-5 days, we recommend you skip this step.

Use an alcohol prep pad
When it comes to maintaining healthy natural nails, we know acetone and alcohol-based products can get a bad rap - and with good reason. Just like our skin, our nails need to be properly hydrated regularly in order to thrive. This means both cuticle oil and nail oils should be a part of your nail health routine, whereas drying astringents like alcohol should not... But there are exceptions.

Use a cotton pad to rub a small amount of alcohol on the surface of your whole nail, ensuring the removal of any oils or dirt that can stand in the way of the nail glue. We recommend stocking up on some alcohol prep pads to add to your at-home nail care essentials kit. This step is crucial and cannot be skipped when applying press-ons. We always need to ensure the cleanest possible surface, which leads to the most firm application of our nails.
In other words, we are all about natural nail health, meaning we will always tell you to properly hydrate and protect your nails! When applying press on nails, however, a little bit of alcohol or a drying agent such as acetone can go a long way when utilized properly. Of course, don't forget to always rehydrate your nails in between applications! Keeping a healthy balance is the answer.

Apply the glue
Just like you would a top coat or any nail polish, apply an even layer of glue to your nail bed. Make sure to get all of the corners, too! You don't want to have your nail glued on crooked and compromise your manicure.
As an alternative, feel free to place the glue directly on the back of the nailuxe nail, focusing more glue towards the base. You may find that you have more control, facilitating a more even application.
Remember, a single, even layer is all you need! If you do end up over-gluing, immediately wipe any excess glue you see. The glue dries very quickly so you have to do this as soon as any glue starts to spill out. If you follow all of the previous steps correctly, there's no going wrong! Try out both ways of applying the glue and see what works best for you.

Align your press-on nails with your natural nails
It's finally time to apply! Be quick with this process - you don't want your nail glue to dry out before you get a chance to place your press-on.
When applying, make sure to properly align your press on nails with the bottom and sides of your own nails. Take your time before applying the glue to practice doing this efficiently! We don't want the glue to dry out, and we definitely don't want to have to remove our press on nail once it's attached.
Pro tip: When gluing, align the press on as close to the cuticle line as possible. Then, apply at a 45-degree angle in a slow controlled motion with even pressure. This will help ensure that there are no air pockets or bubbles trapped underneath the nail!

Hold
Once it's on there, apply even pressure to the entire nail in order to properly bond your press-on nails. Press down on your nails for about 15-20 or more seconds to ensure that they are glued properly. This simple step will make sure you press on nails last for longer and are more comfortable on your finger.
Pro tip: To ensure your nails last as long as possible, stay away from water for at least the first 2 hours after application. We suggest the best time to apply press ons is in the evening after your bath or shower (your cuticles will be softer and easier to push back too)!

How to Choose the Right Size Press on Nails

Method
By far, the easiest way to get your exact sizing with press on nails, is to buy a sample sizing kit. The sizing kits come with all 10 sizes available for press on nails. With this method, you can just place each press on nail on each of your nails until you find the one that fits the best. As you do this, write down your number for each nail from thumb to pinky. Those are the custom sizes you will enter (in order from thumb to pinky) when purchasing your press on nail sets. If you find that your numbers are exactly the same as one of the presets shown above, then you can choose from the size drop down choices of xs, s, m, l or xl when ordering your set.

Method
Place a piece of clear tape across the top of your nail and draw a line with your pen on the crease on both sides of your nail. Make sure you find the widest part of your nail to make your markings. Then take the tape and place it on the centimeter ruler. Count the number of lines on the ruler from one marking to the next (don't worry about the actual numbers showing on the ruler). This will give you the millimeters measurement you need to reference with the finger chart above.
For example, let's say you measured your thumb and counted 16 lines from one marking to the next, that would mean your measurement was 16mm. If you look at the chart, you can see the number size for that measurement, 16mm, is “1”. This means your thumb is a size 1. You will repeat this process for every finger.

Method
This method works for those that happen to have a fabric measuring tape. The fabric measuring tape is the one used mostly by a seamstress for body measurements, so they wrap around very easily. You will be using the centimeter side of the measuring tape. Now, you can use the measuring tape to do the same thing you did above with the clear tape. This method is a lot faster than method 1. You can just count the lines from one edge of your nail to the other and this will give you the millimeter measurement that corresponds to the nail chart.

How to Store Press-On Nails

The idea is to store them properly in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. You need to protect them from bending or breakages and also need to save them from fading or chipping. You can either invest in a good-quality storage container or opt for DIYing your own organizer. Just be sure you are sorting and storing them in an organized manner so you can locate them later on with ease.

Having said that, just getting a container to store your nails only to throw them all together in a sea of designs will do more harm than good. All your tips, old and new, will be in it and it will be even more exhausting to search for designs that are made to be worn together. You will waste more time and energy and it will also destroy your carefully curated babies. After all, you are not going to remember all your designs always and will not be able to choose the best one for your outfit to flaunt on your date night or your birthday party.

You either invest in a good-quality organizer specifically designed for storing your press-on nails or make one for yourself using any cardboard box. It should have a grid-like structure with individual dividers to sort and organize all your sets along with other nail supplies like nail glues, nail files, etc. It should have plenty of space for saving your press-ons from scratching each other and ruining the finish along with being airtight to avoid dust and buildup.

How Long Do Press-On Nails Last

Depending on the quality of the press-on nails and the correct application process, press-ons can be made to last for 10 days to two weeks. If you follow the correct procedure of applying the press-on nails, the glue will have a strong hold between the nail tip and your natural nail ultimately making the manicure last longer. Sometimes, the longevity of the application also depends on the growth and the strength of your natural nails but that isn't a constraint in case of using the press-ons. Besides, if you are not a person who'd be comfortable with fake nails or your work doesn't allow it, and are still using these nails for a specific occasion, you can get a fresh manicure for a few days and can remove the press-ons easily by following a few simple steps.

Plus you can store them correctly and reuse them which isn't the case when getting acrylics. And if you use the traditional nail polishes, they tend to dry out after a few uses especially if you don't use a good quality, which again isn't the case with press-on nails. If some of you are quirky and trend-obsessed or just love variations in your nails now and then, you can switch between nails for different occasions or regularly.
