Prep

Wash and fully dry your hands. Gently push back cuticles, lightly buff the natural nail, then wipe it clean with the prep pad.

Size

Test-fit each press-on. It should cover the natural nail from sidewall to sidewall without touching the skin.

Step 03

Apply

Choose an adhesive tab slightly smaller than your natural nail. Place it on the nail and smooth firmly from the center toward the edges so no air remains.

Remove the protective film. Align the press-on just above the cuticle, lower it into place, then press firmly across the whole nail for at least 30 seconds.

Step 05

Style & reuse

Avoid water immediately after application. When you are ready to remove the set, loosen it gently, clean away the used tab and store the nails for your next look.

Gentle removal

Never pull them off.

Soak your fingertips in warm soapy water with a little oil until the adhesive loosens. Ease up an edge with the wooden stick. If it resists, soak again—never force it.

Roll the remaining tab away from the press-on, let the nail dry completely and return it to the box. Adhesive tabs are single-use.
