Step-by-Step Guide: How to Apply and Remove Press-On Nails Safely
✨ Introduction
Press-on nails are the perfect way to get salon-quality nails without the cost, mess, or time. But to make them last and protect your natural nails, it’s essential to apply and remove them correctly and safely. Follow this step-by-step guide for best results!
✅ How to Apply Press-On Nails
1. Clean & Prep Your Nails
Wash hands and dry thoroughly.
Push back cuticles and lightly buff nail surface.
Wipe each nail with alcohol or nail prep pad to remove oils.
2. Choose the Right Size
Match each press-on to your natural nail.
If unsure between sizes, choose the slightly smaller one for better hold.
3. Apply Adhesive
Use either nail glue or adhesive tabs (based on preference).
For glue: Apply a small drop to your natural nail and the back of the press-on.
Press and hold for 10–15 seconds.
4. Shape & File if Needed
After application, lightly file the tip if needed for shape perfection.
❌ How to Remove Press-On Nails Safely
1. Soak in Warm Water & Oil
Soak nails in warm, soapy water with a bit of cuticle oil for 10–15 minutes.
This loosens the adhesive naturally.
2. Gently Lift with a Wooden Stick
Use an orange stick to gently pry from the sides.
Do not force or pull to avoid damage.
3. Repeat Soaking if Needed
If nails are still firm, soak again before continuing.
4. Nourish Your Nails
After removal, apply nail strengthener or cuticle oil to nourish nails.
🌟 Extra Tips
Don’t wear press-ons for more than 7–10 days.
Avoid soaking nails in water for too long post-application.
Store unused press-ons and tabs in a dry place.
