HOW TO
Salon-perfect nails at home in minutes. Follow these simple steps for a flawless, long-lasting press-on application.
Application
Prep your nails
Wash your hands, gently push back cuticles, and lightly buff the nail surface. Wipe each nail with an alcohol pad to remove oils.
Find your size
Match each press-on tip to your nail bed. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller one for a more natural fit.
Apply glue or adhesive tab
Apply a thin layer of nail glue to both your natural nail and the press-on, or place an adhesive tab on the nail bed.
Press and hold
Align the tip with your cuticle at a 45-degree angle, press down firmly, and hold for 15–30 seconds. Avoid water for the first hour.
Cure if using gel
For soft-gel tips with gel glue, cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds for a salon-strength hold.
Removal
Soak nails in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes, then gently lift from the sides. Never force or peel — this keeps your natural nails healthy.
Pro tips
- Apply before bed so the adhesive sets overnight.
- Avoid lotions and oils for the first few hours.
- Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning to extend wear.
