Step by step

How to prep

1

Cleanse your nails

Make sure your nails are free from any product or polish using acetone or nail polish remover.

2

Push back cuticles

Use a cuticle pusher to push back your cuticles and gently scrape away any stubborn dead skin.

3

Trim & shape

Trim your nails if needed and file them smooth.

4

Buff away shine

Use a buffer to remove all shine from your nails. This creates a better surface for the glue and press-on to stick to.

5

Dehydrate

Dehydrate with alcohol wipes (or a nail dehydrator if you have one) to eliminate dust and oils.

6Optional

Apply primer

If you have your own primer, apply it now.

7

Glue & press

Glue on your nails and hold firmly for a few seconds, then enjoy!

Pro tip

Avoid hot water, oils, and lotions on your hands for the first hour after applying. This lets the glue fully set for maximum longevity.
