Adhesive Tabs

For Short-Term Wear

1–3 Days
  • Match the tab size to each nail.
  • Apply the tab to your natural nail and press firmly.
  • Peel off the protective layer.
  • Align and press the press-on nail firmly starting from the cuticle, holding for 10–15 seconds.
πŸ’‘ Perfect for events, weekends, or photo shoots!
Nail Glue

For Long-Term Wear

1–2+ Weeks
  • Apply a thin, even layer of glue to your natural nail.
  • Add a small drop to the back of the press-on nail (optional for extra hold).
  • Align carefully with your cuticle and press down firmly for 20–30 seconds.
  • Avoid contact with water for the first hour.
πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Press one nail at a time and hold steady β€” this helps prevent air bubbles and ensures a seamless seal.
CARE & REMOVAL

Removal Tips

When you’re ready for a new vibe:

If applied with tabs:

Soak hands in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then gently lift using the cuticle stick.

If applied with glue:

Soak nails in warm, soapy water with a bit of oil for 10–15 minutes. Use gentle pressure to loosen β€” never force removal.

Clean your press-ons and store them back in their box for future reuse.
