Apply with nail glue

Wash and dry your hands. Adhesive only bonds to a clean, dry surface.

Gently push back your cuticles with the cuticle stick and lightly file your free edge. Keep natural nails even so the press-on sits flush.

Pass the buffer lightly over each nail to take off the shine — you want a matte surface, no shine. Wipe each nail with the enclosed alcohol wipe to strip away dust and natural oils.

Set each press-on beside its finger and confirm the fit; the tip should sit just inside your sidewalls feeling comfortable, not tight. Pinch the edge down slightly if a nail runs wide.

Choose the amount of glue based on how long you'd like to wear your nails.

• For short-term wear: Apply a thin, even layer of glue to your natural nail only.
• For longer wear: Apply a thin layer to your natural nail and add a small drop of glue to the back of the press-on nail for extra adhesion.

Less is more — using too much glue can cause the nail to slide during application and squeeze out around the edges.

Line the press-on up against your cuticle line, lower it at roughly a 45° angle, then press down firmly and hold for 5 seconds each nail. Work out from the cuticle to avoid air bubbles.

Repeat for all ten, then avoid water and heavy hand-work for the first 30 minutes so the bond can fully cure.
