To get the most wear out of your handmade press-on nails, follow these simple tips:
✅ Do’s
-
Prep your nails properly: Clean, buff, and dehydrate (with alcohol or nail dehydrator) before application.
-
Use the right glue: High-quality nail glue ensures stronger, longer-lasting wear.
-
Press firmly: Hold each nail down for at least 30 seconds when applying to ensure a strong bond.
-
File and shape: Lightly file the press-on base or natural nail edge if needed for a perfect fit.
-
Wear gloves: When doing dishes or cleaning with chemicals, protect your nails with gloves.
-
Store your nails: Keep your press-ons in their box or on the card to protect them between uses.
❌ Don'ts
-
Don’t skip prep: Oily or unclean nail beds can cause lifting or early pop-offs.
-
Don’t soak: Avoid long hot baths, saunas, or water exposure in the first 24 hours after application.
-
Don’t force removal: Gently soak in warm water with oil or use a remover to avoid damaging your natural nails.
-
Don’t reuse without care: Clean and remove old glue before reapplying press-ons for the best results.
With the right care, your press-on nails can last 2 weeks or more, and many sets are reusable!
-
Reusing your press-on nails is easy with the right steps! Follow this guide to keep your nails looking fresh and ready for multiple wears:
-
Remove Gently
Soak your hands in warm, soapy water (add a bit of cuticle oil) for 10–15 minutes to loosen the glue.
👉 Never pull or force the nails off, as this can damage both your natural nails and the press-ons. -
Clean the Backs
Once removed, gently file or buff off any leftover glue or adhesive from the underside of the nails.
You can also use a cotton pad and acetone or alcohol (sparingly) to clean them without warping the shape. -
Disinfect
Wipe each nail with rubbing alcohol to sanitise and prep them for your next use. -
Store Properly
Keep your press-ons in a clean, dry container — ideally in the original box or a labelled organiser to keep them safe and sorted by size. -
Reapply Like New
When you’re ready to wear them again, follow your usual prep and application steps.
Clean natural nails, apply glue, press firmly, and enjoy!
With proper removal and care, most sets can be reused 2–5 times or more!
