1. Buff Every Corner
Don’t just buff the center of your nails—gently buff every corner. This helps the sticky tab adhere better to the nail surface.
2. Clean Thoroughly
Use an alcohol wipe to remove all oil and residue from your nails. Let them dry completely before applying the sticky tabs—don’t touch anything that could make your nails dirty again!
3. Choose the Right Size
Make sure your sticky tabs are the perfect fit—not too big or too small.
If your nails are short, fold any extra adhesive under instead of trimming it.
Avoid touching the sticky tabs with your fingers to keep them oil-free.
Make sure to press down on every corner of the sticky tab to ensure it fully adheres to the nail surface, eliminating any air bubbles for a stronger hold.
4. Add Heat
Use a hairdryer to warm the sticky tab for 5-10 seconds to boost its stickiness. Press it down at a 45° angle and hold for 10 seconds.
5. Avoid Water
Keep your nails dry for at least two hours after application.
Follow these tips, and your press-ons will look and feel like real nails, lasting up to a week!
