How to apply press-on nails
Step 1: Measure and choose the appropriate nail size
Measure and record the width of each natural nail, such as the size chart provided by the merchant, and choose the corresponding press-on nail size.
Step 2: Prepare the Press-on Nails
If using adhesive tabs: Peel off the backing from each adhesive tab and apply them to the Press-on nails, ensuring they cover the entire surface evenly.
If using nail glue: Apply a small amount of nail glue to the back of each Press-on nail, spreading it evenly but avoiding excess glue.
Step 3: Apply the Press-on Nails
Use Sticky Tabs:
Apply the appropriate size adhesive label to your nail, pressing from the center out to the edge for a better grip. Choose the press-on nail for the corresponding finger, align the press-on nail with the cuticle, and press at a 45-degree angle. Press firmly for at least 15 seconds, keeping the pressure even across the entire surface.
Use Nail Glue:
Apply a thin layer of nail glue to your natural nail. Align the press-on nail with your cuticle and press gently but firmly. Hold in place for 10-15 seconds to allow the glue to set. Avoid getting your nails wet for at least an hour after application to allow the adhesive or glue to set completely.
