CARING FOR YOUR PRESS ON NAILS

Caring for your handmade press-on nails is essential to ensure they last and stay looking fabulous. By following a few simple care steps, you’ll extend the life of your nails and keep them in beautiful condition!

Prep Your Natural Nails Properly

  • Clean your nails thoroughly before applying press-ons. Remove any oils, lotions, or old polish using alcohol wipes or nail polish remover.
  • Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails to ensure better adhesion of the press-on nails.

Avoid Excessive Water Exposure

  • Avoid water contact for at least 2 hours after application to ensure longer wear.

  • Use gloves when washing dishes or cleaning to protect your nails.

Be Gentle with Your Hands

  • Avoid using your nails as tools. Be careful when opening cans, peeling stickers, or doing tasks that put pressure on your nails.
  • Typing gently and using the pads of your fingers instead of the tips can prevent unnecessary stress on the nails.

Moisturize Your Cuticles

  • While avoiding water exposure is important, you should keep your cuticles and hands hydrated with cuticle oil and hand lotion.
  • Healthy cuticles can enhance the look of your press-on nails and help them last longer.

File and Shape as Needed

  • If the edges of the press-ons start to lift or feel sharp, use a nail file to smooth them down. Gently file to maintain the shape of the nails.

Avoid Acetone-Based Products

  • Acetone can weaken or damage the press-ons. Instead, use a non-acetone polish remover if you need to remove nail polish.

Remove Carefully

  • Don’t force the nails off. Soak them in warm, soapy water or use a gentle nail removal solution to dissolve the glue and remove them without damaging your natural nails.
  • Avoid peeling or popping the nails off, as this can damage both the press-ons and your natural nails.

Store for Future Use

  • If you plan to reuse your press-on nails, clean off any leftover glue after removing them and store them in a cool, dry place to keep them in great condition.
