How do I prep and apply press-on nails?Updated 22 days ago

Follow these steps for a smooth application:

• Prep your nails: Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any old polish, oils, or residue to help the glue stick.
• Find your fit: Find the press-on that fits each natural nail and line them up in order, sizing up for curved nail beds if you’re between sizes for a comfortable fit (and filing the sides if needed) or choosing slightly wider nails for flat nail beds to fully cover the nail surface.
• Apply glue: Brush a thin, even layer of glue onto your natural nail and the back of the press-on.
• Press and hold: Position the press-on at your cuticle line and press firmly for 10–20 seconds.
• Shape as needed: Once secure, gently file or shape the tips if desired.
• Let them set: Avoid heavy water exposure right for at least 2 hours applying so the glue can fully set.
