Press ons applied with glue average 1-3 weeks wear time when properly prepped and applied.
What You'll Need:
Press on set, Cuticle Pusher, Nail File & Buffer Block, Alcohol Pads, Nail Glue, paper towel.
Prep:
Trim and file down your your nails with the nail file.*Always file in ONE direction to avoid damage!
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Push back and clean up your cuticles.
Gently buff your natural nails with the buffer block to remove ALL shine.
Clean your nails thoroughly with an alcohol pad. *Don't skip this step. It removes dirt/dust that will cause lifting, and also eliminates any bacteria. You don't want bacteria trapped under a press on. Bacteria = Greenies.
Clean the insides of the press ons with the other pad.
Application:
Apply a small amount of glue to your nail bed, spread it around with the nozzle to cover the entire surface area.
Apply another small amount to the inside of a press on, spread it around to cover the entire contact area.
Do not apply too much glue. This can cause the glue to bleed out and may ruin your nails. If you've applied too much, soak it up with some paper towel.
Line up the press on with the cuticle, make sure its straight and rock it down to the tip, pressing the entire nail down firmly for 20 seconds (the longer the better!)
Repeat for all nails.
Don't forget to clean off that glue nozzle, lest it never open again!
Keep your hands dry for about an hour after application to allow the glue to set.
