Each set of press-on nails comes with a nail prep kit with everything you need for the application and removal . Replacement nail prep kits can be purchased here. See steps below and watch the videos.

application
nail prep is key to long-lasting wear
- Trim your nails short and wash your hands with soap.
- Use the cuticle stick to push back and scrape off any cuticles if needed.
- Place the press-on on your nails to see how they fit. If needed, use the nail file to fine tune the shape.
- Use the nail buffer to thoroughly buff over all of your nails to remove oils.
- Wipe your nails clean with alcohol wipes.
tabs vs glue
Adhesive tabs (1-3 day wear)
Attach the nail tabs to either your natural nails or the back of the press-ons. Remove the plastic film and press onto your nails and hold for 5 seconds.
NAIL GLUE (~2 WEEK wear)
Trim the tip of the glue bottle. Spread the glue evenly over your nail bed, but avoid the cuticles. Quickly attach the press-ons at a 45 degree angle starting from the cuticle side. Press and hold for 10 seconds. If you plan to use nail glue regularly, I recommend getting a brush on nail glue.
Tabs + GluE (~1-2 WEEK wear)
Attach the nail tabs to the press-ons and then drop the nail glue on your natural nail. Press and hold for 10 seconds.
removal
Proper removal prolongs your press-on nails
- Apply cuticle oil
- Soak hands in warm & soapy water for 10-15 minutes.
- Gently wiggle the nails while soaking to loosen them.
- Use a cuticle stick to gently push the nails off from the cuticle side
- Repeat steps as needed
clean up
Adhesive tabs
Gently peel off any remaining tabs from your natural nails and from the back of the press-ons. Use a cuticle pusher to help if needed.
nail glue
Buff off any remaining nail glue from your natural nails and on the back of the press-ons. I recommend purchasing an electronic nail drill to help remove glue build up on the back of the press-ons easier. This will allow you to reuse them more times.
