Introduction
Press-on nails have become a lifesaver for many busy women. Not only can they quickly give you beautiful nails, but they also allow you to change styles according to your mood. Today, let's dive into the world of press-on nails and explore how to make your fingertips shine!
How to Use Press-on Nails?
1️⃣ Prepare the Surface: Buff Your Nails for a Perfect Base
Let's start with the basics. Use a nail file to gently buff the surface of your nails to remove shine. This step is simple but crucial! Buffing helps the adhesive stick better, preventing the press-ons from loosening after a few days. Have you ever experienced your press-ons falling off because you skipped this step? If so, it's time to make this a part of your routine!

2️⃣ Clean the Nails: Remove Oil for a Stronger Hold
After buffing, remember to wipe your nails with a cleaning pad or alcohol swab to remove any oils and dust. This is a key step because if there's oil on your nails, the press-on nails won't adhere properly. To keep your nails perfect for longer, don’t skip this!
Tip: If you don't have cleaning pads, alcohol swabs work as a great alternative. Just make sure your nails are clean!
3️⃣ Choose the Right Size: Match the Press-On with Your Nails
Have you ever had trouble choosing the right size of press-on nails? Maybe they were too big, too small, or didn’t fit quite right. Choosing the right size is crucial. I personally think the press-on nails should cover the whole nail, not only for looks but also for a better hold.
4️⃣ Apply Jelly Adhesive: Perfect Every Detail
Next, pick the right jelly adhesive or nail glue and apply it evenly on your nails. Don’t apply too much—just a thin, even layer will do. Once applied, your nails will feel smooth and glossy, providing a solid foundation for the press-on nails to stick.
Tip: If you accidentally use too much adhesive, no worries! Just wipe off the excess gently to avoid messing up your skin.
5️⃣ Attach the Press-On Nails: Press Firmly to Ensure a Secure Fit
Once everything is ready, choose the appropriate press-on nail and make sure the numbered side is facing out. Firmly press it onto your nail. This is the exciting part! Press for about 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Tip: If you’re unsure about your technique, try using a nail press tool to help secure the press-on nails.
6️⃣ Early Care: Keep Them Dry for the Best Bond
Finally, to ensure the longevity of your press-on nails, avoid contact with water for the first three hours. Don’t wash your hands or take a shower during this time to allow the adhesive to fully bond. We all know it’s hard to avoid water, but this short wait is crucial for the best result.
