You’ve got your cute custom press-ons—now let’s help them stay put and look flawless with a little prep and care. Grab your cuticle pusher, nail file, buffer block, alcohol wipes, and nail glue, provided in your order and let’s get started!

Step 1: Prep Your Cuticles

Use your cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. This gives your press-ons the perfect space to sit and helps them last longer.

Step 2: File & Buff

Shape your natural nails with the nail file to match the press-ons. Then lightly go over each nail with the buffer block to remove shine. This helps the glue stick better and keeps your set secure.

Step 3: Clean Up Time

Use an alcohol wipe to clean each nail. Removing any oils or dust is super important—it’s the secret to a long-lasting hold!

Step 4: Add a Little Glue

Apply a small dot of nail glue to your natural nail and one on the back of the press-on. A little goes a long way—just make sure it’s even and not too close to your cuticle.

Step 5: Press & Hold

Line up the press-on just above your cuticle, then press down firmly for about 30 seconds. You’re locking it in—nice and snug!

Friendly Tip: Try to avoid water or lotions for about an hour after application so your nails can fully set and stay looking fresh.
