1. Preparing Natural Nails for Press-Ons
Clean hands and nails with soap, push cuticles back with an orangewood stick. Trim, file, and buff nails for better adhesion. Finish by wiping nails with alcohol or acetone to ensure theyre oil-free.
2. Best Method for Applying Press-On Nails
Pick the correct adhesive size for your nail, apply it smoothly, and gently peel off the backing. Align the press-on nail with your cuticle and press firmly. Repeat for all nails.
3. Waiting Time for Adhesive to Dry or Set
After applying your press-on nails, avoid getting your hands wet for at least an hour. Water exposure can weaken the adhesive, causing the nails to fall off.
