How can press-ons be reused?
You can apply your press-ons either with the included adhesive tabs or with nail glue. Follow these steps:

  1. File your natural nails, gently push back the cuticles, remove any invisible cuticle at the nail base, and lightly buff the nail surface.

  2. Clean your nails thoroughly with the cleansing wipe.

  3. Carefully remove any glue residue with the wooden cuticle stick, and if needed, use a little nail oil. Then rinse the press-ons with water and let them dry completely.
    Important: Clean the back of the press-ons thoroughly with the cleansing wipe to ensure no glue or oil residue remains.

Option 1: Application with ADHESIVE TABS
Apply the adhesive tab with its protective film onto your nail and press firmly. Use the wooden cuticle stick to remove air bubbles along the edges, then peel off the protective film.
Place the press-on at a 45-degree angle at the nail base and slowly lower it with light pressure. Press down firmly for about 60 seconds.

Option 2: Application with NAIL GLUE
Apply nail glue generously to the adhesive side of the press-on nail. Optionally, apply a thin layer of glue to your natural nail as well.
Place the press-on at a 45-degree angle at the nail base and slowly lower it with light pressure. Press down firmly for about 60 seconds.

Important: Press-ons should not be shortened by excessive filing, as this may damage or lift the top coat seal. If the tip of the nail tree is still slightly visible, it can be carefully filed down. Ideally, only file the press-ons narrower at the sides.
