buffing nails to prep for press ons

APPLICATION

Buff & Prep Nails

A good application starts by buffing your natural nails for the best adhesion. Pay close attention to the sides of your nail bed and around your cuticle β€” that is where we need the strongest hold!

Use the cuticle stick to push back your cuticles.

APPLICATION

Clean Nails

After buffing, make sure your nails are clean by using the alcohol wipe included in your prep kit. This makes sure to get all dust, dirt, and oil off of your nail surface. Make sure nails are dry before proceeding!

Apply Glue & Press!

To apply nail, start toward your cuticle at a 45 degree angle. Slowly push down to avoid air bubbles.

how to remove press on nails, soak hands in water and soap

REMOVAL

Soak Nails

To remove, start by soaking your hands in warm soapy water for 10 minutes. We recommend adding some oil to help the nails loosen.

We do not recommend soaking your nails off before 7 days. With liquid glue, your nails can last up to 14 days and removing too early can damage your natural nail. For short term use, use glue tabs.

REMOVAL

Use the orange stick included in your prep kit to gradually lift the edges of your press ons away from your natural nails. If you are having trouble, keep your hands under the warm water for this step.

Do not force the nails off if they are not ready.

If you would like custom sizes, you can first order a size kit that includes one of each size, in the shape you select. Each shape runs slightly different on sizing.
