Step 1.

Step 2.

Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle stick.

Step 3.

Remove the surface shine of your natural nail by lightly buffing with a nail file or buff.

Step 4.

Fit your press-on nails and carefully file any sides that are over your nail side walls (if required).

Step 5.

Wipe away excess dust, moisture and oil from your buffed nails with an alcohol wipe.

Step 6. 

Apply adhesive to your natural nails.

• If using adhesive tabs (for a 1-2 day hold)

Apply an adhesive tab that is slightly smaller than the natural nail to the centre of the nail. Using the cuticle stick, gently push the edges of the tab to the edges of the nail then remove the protective film.

• If using nail glue (for a 5-7 day hold)

Apply a thin layer of glue on the natural nail and on the back of the press-on nail.

Take care not to get glue too close to the skin.

• If using adhesive tabs and nail glue together (best for reusing nails and a 7-12+ day hold)

Follow the instructions for adhesive tabs, then apply a thin layer of glue on the back of the press-on nail only.

Step 7.

Align the press-on nail to your cuticle at a 45 degree angle and press down firmly, starting from the bottom. Hold for 20 seconds for each nail. Wipe away any excess glue.

Step 8.

Avoid contact with water for 2 hours post application. Enjoy and admire your fresh nails!
