How to Apply Your Luxury Press On Nails

You will will receive an application kit with your order which includes glue, glue tabs, a mini buffer, a nail file, a cuticle stick, and 2 alcohol prep pads. 

 

Step 1:

The most important step to applying press on nails is to have good prep!

Start by pushing your cuticles back with the cuticle stick. Make sure to get every bit of cuticle that is on the nail plate, as any leftover cuticle can cause your press on nails to come off! If needed, use a cuticle nipper to get rid of any extra bits of cuticle that are hanging off. Use the mini buffer to lightly buff away any shine to your nails. Do not over buff, as that will cause the surface of the nail to be too smooth for the nail to hold on properly. Then, file down your nails so that they do not show from under your press on nail. Next, use the alcohol prep pad to wipe away any dust left on your nail.

Step 2:

Apply a small drop of the glue on both the press on and your natural nail. Next, hold the nail so it is straight and lay it on your natural nail close to the cuticle, but not touching it. Gently press the nail to your natural nail and hold for 10-20 seconds until it is secure.

Step 3:

Clean off any excess glue that seeps out after pressing it down. I recommend you pull your finger pad back so that it is not touching your nail while the glue dries so that it does not get glued to the nail.
