HOW TO

How to Apply your Press On Nails

NAIL PREP

  • Prep your nails by pushing back your cuticles using the wooden stick
  • Gently file and buff your natural nail to remove the surface shine and natural oils.  (NOTE: you want to make sure that you have no shiny patches left on your nails, this will give you better adhesion)
  • Wipe your nails with the alcohol wipe provided to dehydrate your nails
  • Choose the correct size of tips to fit each nail. Make sure they fit right down to the sides of your nail.  (NOTE:  it is better to go slightly larger and file it to fit rather than go too small, otherwise they may pop off)

ADHESIVE GLUE /STICKY TABS

LONG TERM WEAR (2-3 weeks) - Apply the nail glue to your natural nail, making sure to cover the whole nail, then apply nail glue to the back of the Vamp Press on Nail. Press onto your natural nail at a 45 degree angle making sure that you start at the cuticle area and press firmly onto the nail.  Hold in place with pressure for about 20 seconds. Then move onto the next nail, make sure to do one at a time.

SHORT TERM WEAR (2-4 days) - Measure the sticky tab, making sure it fits and covers the nail completely. Press the sticky tab to your natural nail and smooth it out, hold in place for a few seconds. Then remove the transparent film from the tab and press the nail on to your nail, hold in place for 20 seconds. 

Once both hands are complete, you may need to file the nail due to excess gel left on the tip from manufacturing.

Avoid water for 1 - 2 hours to make sure they are adhered properly.

 

How to Remove your Press Ons

SOAK:

Mix some warm water with olive oil or any type of beauty oil and hand soap into a bowl and soak for around 15 mins.

REMOVE:

Using your cuticle pusher, gently slide it under the side of the press on and pop off.  If your press on will not come off, then keep soaking for longer.  Do not force the Press On Tip off, otherwise you will damage your natural nail.

NOURISH:

Buff away any excess glue from your nail, we recommend using a 100 grit foam buffer. If you are going to put on a fresh set of Press Ons then wipe away any dust, clean with alcohol and proceed to apply as normal, then finish with cuticle oil.  If you are not putting on a set then massage cuticle oil into your nail and skin to keep it nourished.  Wait at least 1-2 days before putting on another set of Press Ons otherwise they will adhere as well with the excess oil.
