💅 How to Apply Press-On Nails Naturally

🧼 Step 1: Prep Your Natural Nails

1. Clean your nails with soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
2. Remove oils using rubbing alcohol or a nail dehydrator.
3. Gently push back cuticles with a cuticle pusher.
4. Lightly buff the surface of your nails to remove shine (optional but helps with adhesion).

🧲 Step 2: Choose the Right Size

• Match each press-on to your natural nail width.
• If in between sizes, file the sides of the press-on for a perfect fit.
• Lay them out in order before applying.

🔧 Application Methods

Option 1: Using Nail Glue (Longer Hold)

1. Apply a thin layer of glue to your natural nail and the back of the press-on.
2. Align the press-on with your cuticle keeping the nail at 45degree (slightly above it, not on it). this way it will rest properly at the edge and leave no gap. Else it stuck in threads and hairs
3. Press down firmly for 10–15 seconds to avoid air bubbles.

Option 2: Using Adhesive Tabs (Gentler, Reusable)

1. Choose a tab that matches your nail size.
2. Stick the tab to your natural nail and press firmly.
3. Peel off the top film, then apply the press-on.
4. Press and hold for 10–15 seconds. Try not leaving any space around cuticle side so that hairs get stuck
