How to apply press-on nails
Five easy steps, right at home.
- 1
Prep your nails
Wash and dry your hands. Lightly buff the shine off your natural nails and gently push back your cuticles.
- 2
Match your sizes
Hold each nail up to yours. It should cover from sidewall to sidewall without touching the skin. Between two sizes? Choose the slightly larger one and file to fit.
- 3
Add adhesive
Stick an adhesive tab onto your natural nail (or use nail glue if you have it) and press it down so it is flat and smooth.
- 4
Press on
Start at the cuticle end, then press the nail down flat. Hold firmly for about 10 seconds.
- 5
Shape it
File the edges to the length and shape you like. That is it — no appointment needed.
- ✦
Taking them off
Don't pull or pry. Soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water until the nails loosen, then slide them off gently.
Finding your size
Some designs come in XS, S and M; larger sets (24 and 30 nails) include several widths in the box so you can pick the best fit for each finger. Every product page shows exactly what comes in the set.
