Application, Removal & Care Guide

Before You Begin

Read the instructions provided with your nail set and adhesive. Work in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep nail glue and small accessories away from children and pets.

Preparation

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry your hands.
  2. Gently push back the cuticles.
  3. Lightly buff the natural nail surface if recommended for your adhesive.
  4. Remove dust, oil, lotion, and moisture with an alcohol wipe or suitable nail cleanser.
  5. Match and arrange all ten press-on nails before applying adhesive.

Using Adhesive Tabs

  1. Select a tab that fits the natural nail without touching the skin.
  2. Apply the tab and press firmly to remove air bubbles.
  3. Remove the protective film.
  4. Align the press-on near the cuticle without placing it on the skin.
  5. Press firmly from the center outward for approximately 20–30 seconds.

Using Nail Glue

  1. Use only a small, controlled amount of glue.
  2. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, mouth, fabric, and painted surfaces.
  3. Align the press-on near the cuticle and lower it onto the natural nail.
  4. Press firmly for approximately 20–30 seconds.
  5. Wipe away accidental excess only as directed by the glue manufacturer.

Do not force a nail that does not fit. Do not use on injured, infected, inflamed, or highly sensitive nails or skin. Stop use if pain, burning, swelling, rash, or irritation occurs.

After Application

  • Avoid prolonged water exposure immediately after application.
  • Wear gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, or handling harsh chemicals.
  • Do not use the nails as tools to open packages or lift objects.
  • Avoid picking, biting, or forcing lifted edges back down.

Gentle Removal

  1. Never pull or pry the press-on nail off by force.
  2. Soak the nails in warm soapy water with a small amount of oil.
  3. Gently work around the edges with a wooden cuticle stick when the adhesive begins to loosen.
  4. Repeat the soaking process as needed.
  5. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's removal instructions for stubborn glue.

Strong removers or acetone may damage the finish, decorations, or reusability of some press-on nails. Use only when appropriate for the product and adhesive.

Cleaning and Storage

  • Remove adhesive residue gently without scratching the decorative surface.
  • Allow nails to dry completely.
  • Store them in their original tray or a clean, dry container.
  • Keep away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
