How to Apply Press-On Nails: Your Easy Step-by-Step Guide

Press-on nails are a game-changer when it comes to achieving salon-worthy nails at home. Whether you’re new to press-ons or looking to perfect your application technique, BECLAWZZ has got you covered! Follow these simple steps to get flawless nails in just minutes.

What You’ll Need:

  • BECLAWZZ custom press-on nails
  • Nail glue 
  • Alcohol wipes or nail polish remover 
  • Nail file and buffer 
  • Cuticle stick 

(Everything on this list is included with your BECLAWZZ set)

Step 1: Prep Your Natural Nails

Prepping your nails is the secret to a strong hold!

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly and dry them.
  2. Use an alcohol wipe or nail polish remover to clean your nails. This removes oils that can prevent the glue from sticking.
  3. Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle stick for a clean nail bed.
  4. Lightly buff your nails to create a slightly rough surface for better adhesion.

Step 2: Apply the Glue

For a secure hold:

  1. Add a small dot of glue to your natural nail.
  2. Add a small dot of glue to the back of the press-on nail.
  3. Spread the glue evenly over both surfaces for full coverage.

Step 3: Press and Hold

Place the press-on nail at the base of your natural nail, just above the cuticle line. Slowly press it down at an angle and hold it firmly for 10-15 seconds. Make sure there are no air bubbles for a smooth finish.

Step 5: Shape and Style

Once all nails are applied, use a nail file to smooth out any rough edges or customize the shape to your liking. Voilà! You’ve got salon-quality nails without the salon price.

Bonus Tips for Long-Lasting Nails:

  • Avoid water and lotion for at least an hour after application.
  • Use gloves for chores like dishwashing to keep your nails intact.
  • Store your press-ons back in their box for reuse—they’re designed to last!

Removal Made Easy

When it’s time to switch your look, soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes to loosen the glue. Gently lift the press-on nail from the sides using a cuticle stick. Avoid pulling to protect your natural nails.

With BECLAWZZ, fabulous nails are just a few easy steps away. Try it for yourself and enjoy trendy, custom nails whenever you want! 💅
