COMING SOON: Watch this video before applying!
Use a dehydrator/primer before gluing your nails on. This helps the adhesion stick even better! My fave is OPI Bond Aid
Apply the press-ons one finger at a time, and do your thumbs last. Idk about you, but I need my thumbs for everything and it helps to apply those last!
Apply your nails last-thing at night. And I mean right at the end of your day! This lessens the amount of moisture exposure and allows the glue to do its best magic:) If you’re unable to do your nails right before bed, just make sure not to get them wet at least 2 hours after application.
If a press-on is slightly too large, file down the bottom side of it with the mini file!
You can use these nails more than once. When you remove the nails just buff off the extra glue and save them for reuse!

Using the mini nail file, file your natural nails to a short length. Make sure they're all the same length.
Gently push your cuticles back with the pink stick. Extra credit: use a cuticle remover!
Lightly buff your natural nails with the mini file.
Wipe and clean your natural nails with the alcohol wipes.
Wipe the inside of your press ons with alcohol wipes. Some videos will tell you to scratch up the inside of your press-ons, but yours are pre-scratched to aid in adhesion:)
Apply a small amount of nail glue to your natural nail and the press-on. Do one nail at a time!
Hold the press-on with your pointer and thumb finger, using your middle finger underneath the finger for stability (see video under “Tips & Tricks” for clearer idea)
Place the press-on at a 45-degree angle and hold for 30-40 seconds.

(May vary depending on glue type)
Fill a bowl with warm water and soap. Add a splash of olive oil for hydration and quicker removal!
Soak your fingers for 10-15 minutes, occasionally swirling them around.
Use the pink stick/cuticle pusher to carefully remove the press-ons. If one isn't budging, don't force it, just soak a little longer.
Use the mini file to buff off any leftover glue residue on your nails.
Gently clean and dry your press-ons, then store them so they're ready to wear again:)
