Daily Care for Press on Nails

 

 

Avoid collision with hard objects: In daily life, try to avoid collision of press on nails with hard objects, such as tapping the keyboard or table with your fingers, or using your press on nails to pick hard objects, etc. These behaviors may cause the fake nails to break, lift or fall off. If you need to do some activities that may cause damage to your nails, such as carrying heavy objects, doing housework, etc., you can remove the nail tips in advance.

 

Wear gloves when doing housework: When doing housework such as washing dishes and cleaning, wear gloves to avoid direct contact with detergents, cleaning agents and other chemicals. These chemicals will not only corrode the nail tips, but may also affect the adhesion between the nail tips and the nails, causing the nails to fall off prematurely. At the same time, soaking your hands in water for a long time will also make the glue of the nail tips lose its viscosity, so try to minimize the time your hands are soaked in water.

 

Clean the nails regularly: In order to keep the fake nails beautiful and hygienic, they need to be cleaned regularly. You can prepare a basin of warm water, add an appropriate amount of neutral hand soap, and soak the nail tips in the water for about three minutes to soften the dirt. Then, use a soft brush to gently clean the residue on the nail surface and in the gaps, ensuring that there is no dead corner. Finally, rinse with clean water and wipe dry with a clean towel. In addition, before each wear, you can also carefully wipe the back of the nail tips with an alcohol cotton pad to remove residual jelly glue or other impurities, so that the fit will be more secure the next time you wear it.

 

Proper storage of nail tips: When not wearing handmade press on nails, store them properly. It is best to put each nail tip in a separate storage box to avoid deformation caused by squeezing between nail tips. The storage environment should avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight, as high temperatures and direct sunlight may cause the nail tips to turn yellow and deform. In addition, you can also stick a layer of double-sided tape on the inside of the nail tip, which can effectively prevent dust from adhering and keep the nail tip clean.

 

 

Precautions for Wearing Press on Nails

 

 

Keep your nails dry: When putting on and taking off your nail polish, you should keep your nails dry. Wet nails will affect the stickiness of the glue, causing the nail tips to fall off easily. It may also breed bacteria and cause nail infection and other problems. After washing your hands or taking a shower, dry your hands in time, especially the nail area.

 

Avoid wearing for a long time: Although wear nails tips is convenient and beautiful, you should not wear it continuously for a long time. Wearing it for a long time will prevent the nails from breathing normally, causing the nails to become fragile and easy to break. It is recommended to let the nails rest every once in a while, for example, you can choose not to wear the wear nail polish for 1-2 days a week to let the nails breathe.

 

Give your nails a rest regularly: Frequently changing your press on nails can also cause some damage to your nails, so you should control the frequency of replacement. At the same time, give your nails enough rest time to give them a chance to recover and grow. If you find that your nails are thinning, yellowing, or brittle, you should stop wearing your fake nails immediately and take appropriate care measures, such as applying press on nails and supplementing nutrition, and then continue wearing your artificial nails after your nails have recovered.

 

Correctly remove the press on nails: When removing the press on nails, use the correct method and avoid violent tearing. If the fake nails are attached with jelly glue, you can soak your hands in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften the jelly glue, and then use an orange wood stick to gently pry up the nail from the edge of the nail tips. If the artificial nails are attached with solid patch glue or nail glue, you need to use a disintegrator. Apply the disintegrator to the gap between the nail and the nail tips, wait a few minutes for the disintegrator to fully work, and then gently pry up the nail tips. During the removal process, if you encounter difficulties, do not tear it forcibly to avoid damaging the nail.
