1. PREP
Lightly buff the nail surface, then wipe away dust and oil with the cleansing pad.
Matchy Nails
Both methods start the same way: lightly buff, wipe clean, and work on dry nails.
Adhesive tabs
Adhesive tabs are good for first tries, short wear, and sets you want to reuse more gently.
Lightly buff the nail surface, then wipe away dust and oil with the cleansing pad.
Choose the tab that fits your nail and place it about 1mm away from the cuticle line.
Press the tab flat. Push from the center toward the sides so air bubbles do not stay underneath.
Peel off the film, hold the press-on at about 45 degrees, and slide it toward the cuticle line.
Press firmly for 30 seconds. Keep the tab on the nail only, not on the skin.
Nail glue
Nail glue is better when you want the set to feel firmer and stay on longer.
Lightly buff your natural nail, then wipe away dust and oil with the cleansing pad.
Add a small amount of glue to the lower third of the press-on, near the cuticle end.
Use the bottle tip to smooth the glue, then sweep it upward so it can sit evenly.
Place it close to the cuticle line, then press the whole nail down without sliding.
Hold steady pressure for 10 seconds. Avoid water, lotion, oil, and steam after applying.
Full video
The short cards above are for quick checking. These full videos show the full hand movement from start to finish.
Flexible wear, easier removal, and a gentler option when you want to reuse the set.
Stronger hold when you want the set to feel firmer and stay on longer.
Removal
Gentle removal protects your natural nails and helps keep reusable sets in better condition.
Soak nails in warm water with a little soap or oil until the adhesive begins to loosen.
Use a cuticle stick to lift from the side. Stop and soak longer if it feels tight.
Remove leftover adhesive from your natural nails and from the back of the press-ons.
Let the nails dry fully, then keep them in their box until the next wear.
Care notes
Apply thumbs last. It makes handling tabs, glue, and tools much easier.
Use your hands gently. Avoid using nails as tools when opening packaging.
Protect from soaking. Gloves help when washing dishes or cleaning.
Remove slowly. More soaking is better than forcing the nail off.
