HOW TO USE NAILME
Collapsible content
APPLICATION
1. MEASURE
1) Size your press-ons against your natural nail to find the best sizes for you. Lay them out in order.
2. PREP
Proper prep is ESSENTIAL to making your nails last and looking *chef's kiss*, so make sure you don't skip this!
1) Clip and file your natural nails down.
2) Push cuticles down with the cuticle stick and buff the surface of your nails to remove shine.
3) Wipe your nails with the alcohol pad to remove oils - oil will prevent the glue/sticky tabs from adhering to your nail properly and shorten wear time.
3. GLUE
Sticky tabs
1) Measure the tabs against your natural nail to find your best size.
2) Peel the tab and press onto your natural nails.
3) Lift the plastic film off the sticky tab and apply your press-on nail, lining the base of the nail with your cuticle. Hold for 15 seconds.
Liquid glue
1) Brush an even layer of glue over your natural nail and add a pea-sized drop of glue on the press-on nail.
2) Apply the press-on nail, starting from the cuticle at 45 degree angle and slowly dropping the nail down. Hold down for 15 seconds, making sure it's glued down at the sidewalls of your nail to avoid air pockets.
And then you're ALL DONE! Time to show off your cute new mani š
PRO-TIPS:
ā¤ļø Start application from your pinky finger, working your way to your thumbs. It's so much easier because you keep your index and thumbs free to apply your nails!
ā¤ļø If your brush-on glue leaks when applying, quickly wipe it with your alcohol wipe - the glue dries quickly!
ā¤ļø Apply the sticky tabs as close to your cuticle as you can. Make sure the press-on nail cuticle line is right on the edge of the sticky tab.
ā¤ļø Make sure the sides of your nails and cuticle line are glued down properly - this'll avoid air pockets and extend wear time.
ā¤ļø Keep your nails out of water for at least 1 hour after application.
REMOVAL
Our press-ons are super easy to remove and won't leave your natural nails damaged or brittle š¤© Just follow these easy steps:
- Fill a bowl with warm water, soap or dishwashing detergent and any type of oil.
- Rub some oil on your cuticles and at the base of your press-on nail. Soak your hands in the bowl for 10-15 mins. This'll help loosen the glue.
- Dry your hands and gently lift off the nails with your cuticle stick.
- Apply your preferred nail oil to keep them moisturised and healthy āØ
Note: Pretty please do NOT rip off your nails if they don't feel loose enough to come off without just a gentle pull (you'll risk damaging your precious nail plates!) The above steps are to make sure ripping is āØnotāØ required and that they'll fall off easily. If your nails are being a bit stubborn, simply soak them for a few extra minutes.
REUSING NAILS
Our Press-on Mani Kits are 100% reusable! If you previously used liquid glue, simply buff off any residue glue with your mini nail file before reusing.
If you used sticky tabs, make sure all the glue is removed with your mini cuticle stick before prepping and reapplying.
