Prepping your nails

Follow along to prep your nails. How well you prep your nails will affect how long the press on nails stay on.


What you'll need

- cuticle pusher
- nail buffer
- alcohol wipe
- sticky tabs or nail glue

Wash hands with soap and dry completely.

Push back cuticles 

Push back gently using a cuticle pusher so the press-on can sit flush at the base. Don’t cut too aggressively.

Buff the nail

Lightly buff the natural nail surface (very light buff 2-4 passes) to remove shine. This helps glue adhere.

Wipe your nail with alcohol

Use the alcohol wipe to remove dust and dehydrate your nail
