How to Apply Press-On Nails Using Adhesive Tabs
- 🧼 Prep your nails – Wash hands, push back cuticles, and lightly buff the nail surface.
- ✨ Clean & dry – Wipe each nail with rubbing alcohol and let dry completely — no oils or moisture for best hold.
- 💅 Size up – Match each press-on to the right finger before you start.
- 🩹 Peel the tab – Select the correct size adhesive tab for each nail and peel off the backing.
- 👆 Apply to natural nail – Stick the tab onto your natural nail, pressing firmly and smoothing out any air bubbles.
- 🔓 Peel the top layer – Remove the second backing to expose the sticky side.
- 💪 Align & press – Starting at the cuticle, press the press-on down firmly and hold for 20–30 seconds.
- 💧 Avoid water – Keep nails dry for at least 1 hour after application.
✨ Pro tip: Adhesive tabs are great for shorter-term wear (1–2 weeks) and make removal much gentler — perfect for nail health!
