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!
- Wash your hands thoroughly and dry them.
- Use an alcohol wipe or nail polish remover to clean your nails. This removes oils that can prevent the glue from sticking.
- Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle stick for a clean nail bed.
- Lightly buff your nails to create a slightly rough surface for better adhesion.
Step 2: Apply the Glue
For a secure hold:
- Add a small dot of glue to your natural nail.
- Add a small dot of glue to the back of the press-on nail.
- 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.
