CARING FOR YOUR PRESS ON NAILS

Prep Your Natural Nails Properly

• Clean your nails thoroughly before applying press-ons. Remove any oils, lotions, or old polish using alcohol wipes or nail polish remover.
• Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails to ensure better adhesion of the press-on nails.

Avoid Excessive Water Exposure

• Avoid water contact for at least 2 hours after application to ensure longer wear.

• Use gloves when washing dishes or cleaning to protect your nails.

Be Gentle with Your Hands

• Avoid using your nails as tools. Be careful when opening cans, peeling stickers, or doing tasks that put pressure on your nails.
• Typing gently and using the pads of your fingers instead of the tips can prevent unnecessary stress on the nails.

Moisturize Your Cuticles

• While avoiding water exposure is important, you should keep your cuticles and hands hydrated with cuticle oil and hand lotion.
• Healthy cuticles can enhance the look of your press-on nails and help them last longer.

File and Shape as Needed

• If the edges of the press-ons start to lift or feel sharp, use a nail file to smooth them down. Gently file to maintain the shape of the nails.

Avoid Acetone-Based Products

• Acetone can weaken or damage the press-ons. Instead, use a non-acetone polish remover if you need to remove nail polish.

Remove Carefully

• Don’t force the nails off. Soak them in warm, soapy water or use a gentle nail removal solution to dissolve the glue and remove them without damaging your natural nails.
• Avoid peeling or popping the nails off, as this can damage both the press-ons and your natural nails.

Store for Future Use

• If you plan to reuse your press-on nails, clean off any leftover glue after removing them and store them in a cool, dry place to keep them in great condition.
