Apply Press-Ons Right
Watch the tutorial below.
- Don’t skip nail prep. Buff until matte, push back cuticles, and remove all dust, oil, and moisture.
- Use enough nail glue. Too little glue can leave gaps and bubbles underneath and weaken the bond.
- Apply at a 45° angle. Slide the press-on through the glue, press down slowly, and hold for about 20 seconds.
- Avoid water for the first 2 hours. Getting your nails wet too soon can weaken the bond before the glue fully sets.
- Still popping off? Check your nails shape. Flat or downward nails may leave larger gaps. Add more glue where the gap is largest for better contact.
