Prep the nail:
Wash hands before to get any bacteria off the nail plate.
Use the stick provided to push cuticles back.
Use file provided to gently buff the nail surface, making it rougher and getting rid of any dry skin.
Then use alcohol wipe to thoroughly clean the nails, removing the natural oils from the nail surface, and then let them dry.
Applying the Press-on's:
After prep, choose the adhesive tab that best fits the size of your natural nails. Apply it to your nail and press firmly to ensure it completely adheres to your nail.*
Remove the film from the adhesive tab, and position the press-on nail at a 45 degree angle as close to the cuticle as possible.
Press firmly and hold for 15-20 seconds, repeating this process for each nail. Aviod contact with water for the first 2-3 hours.
*Top Tip:
When applying the adhesive tab, don't go right to the cuticle as it can look unnatural when the press-on is applied. Stick the adhesive tab couple of mm's from the cuticle. That way the press-on can fit comfortably up to the cuticle without irritating the skin.
