Application and Removal

Wash your hands! You want as clean an application as possible.
When using a full set, make sure to choose nails that fit your nail bed smoothly, from side to side, without applying pressure to the press-on nail. If you have to push on a nail to get it to fit, it could pull on your nails after you apply adhesive and cause you pain or discomfort.
Remove press-on nails from packaging. Determine your nail sizes and arrange in order for each hand. If a nail size is slightly too large, you can file down the bottom corners for a more realistic curve.
Push cuticles back with an orange stick. File your nails as short as possible and lightly buff, making sure to round the sides of each nail.
Clean your nails and backs of press-ons with an alcohol prep pad in order to ensure no oils, dirt, or dust remain.

Place adhesive tabs on nails, making sure they fit the width of your nails. Trim as needed.

Make sure to work on one nail at a time, starting with your pinkies and working your way to your thumbs, as the adhesive dries very quickly.
Apply 1-2 drops of liquid adhesive to your nail bed and the back of the press-on nail. There should be enough adhesive to see a shiny surface, but not enough to drip off of nails or press-ons.
Be careful not to touch the liquid adhesive, as it can stick to skin and/or clothing, and keep out of range of children!
Bring press-on nail right up to your nail plate and apply with a downward angle. Press down on the center of the nail for 10-20 seconds, making sure pressure extends to the sides of the nail for optimal coverage. Once you've finished applying the set, wipe off tops of nails with an alcohol prep pad.
While wearing your set, a nail or two might not adhere as well as the others. Don't worry if one falls off! Buff off the remaining nail glue, clean the press-on and your natural nail with an alcohol prep pad, and reapply.
Avoid water if you possible, as it can loosen adhesive and encourage the growth of bacteria. Wear gloves while washing the dishes..

Soak nails in a bowl with warm water for 5-10 minutes.
Once the glue is a bit loose, use your orange stick to gently push your press-on nails up from the sides. If they're difficult to remove, do not force! This could hurt your natural nail. Instead, soak nails in warm water for a few more minutes and repeat removal process.
Once press-ons are gone, remove glue residue on your nails using a buffer. Make sure to apply cuticle oil to nails and fingers after removing!
