Prepare without overdoing it
Start with clean nails free of old polish. If the supplied instructions recommend buffing, use a light touch. Avoid excessive filing of your natural nail surface. Do not apply an adhesive to irritated skin, and stop using it if discomfort develops.
Choose your adhesive thoughtfully
Adhesive tabs and nail glue have different application and removal instructions. Follow the instructions on the specific product you use; wear time varies with the adhesive, preparation, and your routine. Keep nail glue away from children and avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Press, then give it a moment
Align the press-on with the cuticle without touching the skin, then hold it in place according to the adhesive instructions. Check that it is comfortable and straight. Do not promise yourself a particular wear time—your day-to-day activities and the adhesive matter.
Treat removal as part of the manicure
Never pull or force a press-on off. For tabs, gently loosen the edges using the recommended method. For glue, use a remover that is compatible with the adhesive and follow its instructions. Some removers can affect the press-on finish or decorations, so check before using them.
Care for the natural nail underneath
After removing the set and adhesive residue, wash and dry your hands and follow your usual gentle nail-care routine. If there is pain, redness, swelling, or persistent irritation, stop using the products and seek advice from a qualified professional. This article is general care guidance, not medical advice.
Store the details you love
If a set is suitable for reuse and remains undamaged, clean it as directed and store it dry in a protective container. Reuse depends on the nail material, adhesive, and removal method. Contact us about a particular design rather than assuming every style can be reused.
