Application and Removal

How to Apply the Press on Nails:

(1) Prepare your nails. Trim, file, and buff your natural nails to create a smooth surface for the press-ons.
(2) Clean your nails. Use a nail degreaser or alcohol wipe to remove any oils or residue from your nails.
(3) Apply nail glue or adhesive to the back of the press-on nail. Use a thin, even layer.
(4) Carefully place the press-on nail onto your natural nail, starting at the cuticle and pressing firmly down to the tip.
(5) Hold the press-on in place for 30 seconds to a minute to allow the glue to fully adhere.

How to Remove the Press on Nails:

(1) Gather your supplies. You'll need a cuticle pusher and some nail polish remover.
(2) Use the cuticle pusher to gently lift the edges of the press-on nail. Try to get under the nail and slowly work it off.
(3) If the press-on is not budging, soak a cotton ball in the acetone remover and place it on the nail. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to help dissolve the adhesive.
(4) Once the press-on starts to lift, continue gently prying it off your natural nail. Work slowly and carefully to avoid peeling or tearing your natural nail.
(5) After the press-on is removed, use the cuticle pusher to scrape off any remaining adhesive on your natural nail.
(6) Buff your natural nails lightly to remove any leftover residue.
(7) Apply a cuticle oil or moisturizer to your nails and cuticles to rehydrate them after the acetone exposure.

Durability and Maintenance

Avoid Prolonged Wetting

H2O will weaken the glue, so wait at least an hour or two before getting wet. Try not to let press on nail soak in water for a long time, for example, it is best to take it off when washing dishes, taking a long bath or swimming.

Insist On Nursing

You already have your skin care program, but what about your nails? Pay attention to your pressing at least once or twice a week, and check whether there are any areas that need glue repair or good filing.

Daily Protection

Be careful when doing some activities that may bump your nails, such as lifting heavy objects and doing housework, so as not to damage or deform the press on nail.

Regular Cleaning

Wipe the nail gently with a soft wet cloth to remove the dust and dirt on the surface, but avoid using too rough materials or strong cleaners to prevent scratching.

Dismount Correctly

When you want to remove the press on nail, don't tear it forcibly. Use a special nail remover or mild nail remover and follow the instructions.

Store Properly

When not in use, store the nail in a dry and clean box to avoid squeezing or rubbing with other objects.
