Follow these steps to ensure your set stays flawless for up to 2+ weeks.
- File: Smooth out the free edge of your natural nails to ensure a clean base.
- Push: Use your cuticle stick to gently push back those cuticles. This creates more surface area for the press-on to grip.
- Buff: Lightly buff the surface of your natural nail. This removes natural oils and creates a "texture" for the glue to grab onto.
- Wipe: Use the alcohol prep pad to cleanse each nail. This removes any leftover dust or oils—if it’s not clean, it won’t stick!
- Etch: Even though our tips come pre-etched, give the inside of the press-on a quick buff. This is your "insurance policy" against lifting and next day pop offs.
- Glue: Apply a small drop of nail glue to the inside of the press-on.
- Press: Align the tip with your cuticle and press down firmly. Hold for 10 seconds to eliminate air bubbles and lock it in place.
For the ultimate bond, avoid water for at least 1–2 hours after application. Give that glue time to fully set so your mani can live its best life!
