Four steps to transform your nails

Prep

Trim and file nails and lightly buff surface with mini file. Push back cuticles with the cuticle stick. Clean nails to ensure they are free from oils and nail polish using prep wipe or nail polish remover.

Fit

Choose the best size by placing the press-on over your natural nail. Each is numbered on the back for easy matching. If between sizes, opt for the smaller one and file the edges to fit. Arrange the nails in the order of your fingers.

Glue

Apply a thin layer of glue to the back of the press-on nailm covering only the area that touches your natural nail. For longer wear, apply glue to both the press-on and natural nail. Alternatively, use a short wear tab and apply with the handle at the tip, then remove the backing film.

Apply and customise

Align the press-on nail with your cuticle at a downward angle. Press down from base to tip and hold for 20 seconds. If glue seeps out, clean it with a cuticle stick. After applying all nails, trim and shape as desired.
