How to Apply & Remove Press-On Nails

💅 How to Apply Your Press-On Nails

Prep (5 min)

  • Clean hands thoroughly and push back cuticles
  • Lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine
  • Wipe each nail with the alcohol prep pad to remove oils

Apply

  • Select the correct size for each finger
  • Peel the backing off the adhesive tab (or apply a small dot of nail glue)
  • Press firmly onto your natural nail for 10–15 seconds, starting from the cuticle
  • Hold and press edges down to seal

💡 Tip: Avoid water for 1–2 hours after application for best hold.

🧼 How to Remove Your Press-On Nails

Gentle Removal (No Damage Method)

  • Soak nails in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes
  • Gently wiggle the press-on from the side — never force or peel
  • Use a cuticle stick to slowly lift from the edges
  • Buff away any adhesive residue

⚠️ Never rip off press-ons — this can damage your natural nails.

Care Tips

  • Store unused nails in the original packaging
  • Nails applied with tabs can often be reused — just replace the adhesive tab
  • Avoid prolonged water exposure to extend wear time
