How to Install Press-On Nails: A Step-by-Step Guide

How to Install Press-On Nails: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Choose your nails

  • If you’re anything like me, you plan your outfits and upcoming activities with your nails in mind. Head over to the 'Nails' tab to buy your perfect set.
  • If you’re removing previous nails, soak them off completely before starting. Ensure your nails are clean and free of any polish or glue residue.

 

Step 2: Shape and file your natural nails

  • File your natural nails to smooth edges and remove any roughness. This step helps the press-on nails adhere better.

 

Step 3: Find the perfect size for each nail

  • Check the size numbers under each press-on nail. Match each size to your natural nails, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.

 

Step 4: Apply glue and press it for 10 seconds

  • There are different methods for glue application:
    • Method 1: Apply a thin layer of glue to the press-on nail and then press it onto your natural nail.
    • Method 2: Apply glue to your natural nail before pressing on the press-on nail.
    • Method 3: Apply glue to both the press-on nail and your natural nail for extra hold.
  • After applying glue, press the press-on nail onto your natural nail and hold for about 10 seconds. Ensure the nail is aligned properly before the glue sets.

 

Tip:
Save the 14 leftover nails. You could use them for a whole new set.
