how to apply press on nails

  • Step 1 | Trim & File

    Trim your nails and file the top surface in an 'x' motion. This will strengthen the bond between your nails and the press ons.

  • Step 2 | Cuticles

    Gently push the cuticles back to create a clean edge.

  • Step 3 | clean

    Clean your nails with the alcohol wipe to remove any oil and dirt from your natural nails. For optimal results, also wipe the underside of the press on nails.

Step 4 | Select one of the following application methods

  • Adhesives + Glue

    Longevity: 1-3 weeks per use

    Step 4 | Apply Adhesives

    4b. Press the tab firmly onto your natural nail with the pull-tab at the tip of your nail.

    4c. Peel the protective layer off the adhesive tab.

    4d. Repeat these steps for each fingernail.

    Step 5 | Add Glue

    5a. Apply a thin layer of glue to the top of the adhesive tab.

    The combination of glue and adhesive tabs is our strongest application technique. The glue adheres the FancyB nails to your natural nails, reducing movement, which allows the adhesive tabs to remain strong for longer!
    The nails will hold for 1-3 weeks, sometimes longer depending on care and application.
