How to Apply Your Press-On Acrylic Nails

Prepare Your Natural Nails

  • Clean your nails: Remove any old polish or oils using a gentle, non-acetone remover.
  • Buff your nails: Use a nail buffer to lightly buff your nails and remove any shine. This helps the adhesive stick better.
  • Push back cuticles: Gently push your cuticles back with a cuticle pusher.

Choose the Right Nail Sizes

  • Select a press-on nail that fits each of
    your natural nails perfectly. Ensure the false nails align with the size
    of your nails without any gaps at the sides.
  • Tip: Test each press-on nail on your natural nails before applying any adhesive to ensure a good fit.

Apply the Adhesive Sticker

  • Apply the adhesive sticker to your natural nail and smooth it out
  • Remove the top film on the adhesive sticker
  • Apply the acrylic nail firmly onto your natural nail, starting from the base and moving towards the tip. Hold in place for 30 seconds

Shape & File (Optional)

  • After your press-on nails are applied, optionally use a nail file to shape the edges or tips if necessary.
  • Tip: You can customize the shape (square, oval, stiletto, etc.) to suit your style.

How to Safely Remove Your Press-On Acrylic Nails

Soak in Warm Soapy Water

  • Fill a bowl with warm, soapy water and soak your nails for 5-10 minutes. This softens the adhesive and makes removal easier.

Gently Lift the Nails

  • Using a cuticle pusher or a wooden manicure stick, gently lift the edges of the press-on nails.
  • Tip: Start at the sides of the nail and avoid forcing the nails off to prevent damage.

Remove Residual Adhesive

Once the nails are removed, use a gentle acetone remover or a nail buffer to remove any leftover adhesive from your natural nails.

Final Tips

  • Avoid using your nails as tools (like opening cans) to prevent damage.
  • Take breaks between applications to give your natural nails a chance to breathe and stay healthy.
  • Store your press-on nails properly in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.
