How to Apply Press-On Nails with Adhesive Tabs
- Step 1: Trim and file your natural nails so they’re shorter than your press-ons. Use a cuticle stick to push back your cuticles.
- Step 2: Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails to help the adhesive grip better.
- Step 3: Clean your nails and the inside of the press-ons with an alcohol pad.
- Step 4: Choose adhesive tabs that fit your nails or trim them for a perfect fit.
- Step 5: Apply the adhesive tabs firmly onto your natural nails.
- Step 6: Use a hairdryer to warm the adhesive tabs slightly for a stronger hold.
- Step 7: Peel off the protective film and press the press-ons onto your nails for 5-10 seconds.
- Step 8: Avoid water for at least 2 hours to let the adhesive set properly.
