Nail Application Process

Here's the detailed step-by-step guide to nail application:

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Nail file
  • Nail buffer
  • Cuticle pusher
  • Nail glue or adhesive tabs (depends on how long you want them to stay)
  • Alcohol wipes (or nail cleanser)
  • Small scissors or clippers (optional for trimming tabs or nails)


Step 1: Prep Your Natural Nails

  • Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
  • Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles.
  • Buff the surface of your nails lightly to remove any shine (helps the nails stick better).
  • Wipe each nail with an alcohol wipe to clean off oils, dust, or moisture.

 

Step 2: Choose Sizes

  • Find the press-on nail that best fits each natural nail. (Tip: If you’re between sizes, choose the smaller one and file the sides.)

 

Step 3: Apply Adhesive

  • If using adhesive tabs:

         ➔ Stick the tab onto your natural nail.

         ➔ Press firmly and peel off the top film.

  • If using glue:

         ➔ Add 1 drop of nail glue to your natural nail and 1 drop to the press-on.

         ➔ Spread evenly (don't use too much).


Step 4: Press and Hold

  • Align the press-on nail just above your cuticle (but not touching the skin).
  • Press down firmly for 15–30 seconds.
  • Start from the center and press out toward the edges to remove any air bubbles.


Step 5: Finishing Touch

  • File and shape the nails if needed for the perfect fit.
  • Avoid water, oils, and heavy activity for at least 1 hour after application.
