Step details

Step 1: Wash your hands
Thoroughly wash your hands, paying special attention to your nails. The goal is to remove any oils or residue to ensure you’re working on a clean, prepped nail surface.

Step 2: Choose the right nail tips
Select the tips that best match the size of each of your nails. Gently press the tip onto your natural nail to check that the sides align perfectly with the edges of your nail bed.

Step 3: Push back your cuticles
Using the flat end of the cuticle stick provided in your kit, gently push back your cuticles. The goal is to lift and move them away from the nail bed, especially if they’re slightly stuck to the nail surface.

Step 4: Polish your nails
Wipe each nail with an alcohol-soaked cotton pad or Nail Prep solution (not included in the kit) to remove any remaining oils. The goal is to create a perfectly dry and clean surface to ensure maximum adhesion.

Step 5: Degrease your nails
Wipe each nail with an alcohol-soaked cotton pad or Nail Prep solution (not included in the kit) to remove any remaining oils. The goal is to create a perfectly dry and clean surface to ensure maximum adhesion.

Step 6: Choose the right Gel Pad
Select a Gel Pad that matches the size of your nail. The more the pad covers the width of your nail, the stronger and more secure the application will be.

Step 7: Apply the Gel Pad
Peel off the Gel Pad using the tab, and place it onto your nail, leaving a 1mm gap from the cuticle. Start by pressing it down on one side of the nail, then smooth it across for a firm hold.

Step 8: Remove protective film
Gently press and massage the Gel Pad for a few seconds to help it adhere to your nail. Then, peel off the plastic film by pulling on the tab. If any part of the Gel Pad extends beyond your nail, gently trim or push it back before removing the tab.

Step 9: Apply the nail tip
Place the tip just under your cuticle line, then press it down onto your nail slowly from the base upwards. Apply firm pressure to ensure it adheres smoothly and securely.

Step 10: Press and seal the nail tip
Firmly press and smooth the nail tip from top to bottom, massaging it into place to ensure full adhesion and eliminate any air bubbles.

Remove
Step details

Step 1: Remove the nail tip with the flat end of the cuticle stick
Gently slide the stick under the nail tip to lift the Gel Pad. Start from one side, then the other if needed. Be careful not to use a levering motion, as this could damage the tip.

Step 2: Remove the Gel Pads with the pointed end of the stick
To remove the Gel Pads from your nails and/or the tips, insert the pointed end of the stick into the Gel Pad, then twist while applying gentle pressure.

Step 3: Wash the nail tips with soap
If the removed tips are dirty or greasy, wash them with soap and rinse thoroughly - be careful not to clog your sink! Then dry each one with a clean towel.

Step 4: Store the nail tips in the box
And that’s it - your press-ons are ready to be reused! Pop them back into their box for next time.
