Press-On Nail Application Guide

Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or just want to add a touch of elegance to your everyday look, our press-on nails offer a convenient and stylish solution. In this guide, we’ll cover two application methods: Sticky Tab Application and Glue Application. Let’s dive in!

Sticky Tabs

Sticky tabs are a fantastic option for those who prefer a quick and easy application process. This method also allows you to reuse the press-on nails after removal. Here’s how you can achieve a flawless look using sticky tabs:

1. Clean and Trim Your Nails:

Start by cleaning your nails thoroughly. Trim them to your desired length and push back your cuticles for a neat appearance.

2. Gently File the Surface of Your Nails and Clean Nail Surface:

Lightly file the surface of your natural nails to create a better grip for the adhesive. Clean your nail surface to remove any oils or residues.

 

 

3. Select the Appropriate Nail Size:

Choose the press-on nails that fit each of your natural nails perfectly. Ensure the underside of the press-on nail is free of dirt and dust.

4. Choose the Right Size Adhesive Tabs:

Select the adhesive tabs that match the size of your natural nails. Apply the adhesive tab either to your natural nail or the underside of the press-on nail. 

 

 

5. Press the Press-On Nail Gently:

Place the press-on nail over your natural nail and press gently for 10-15 seconds to ensure a secure bond.

 

 

6. Smooth the Edges:

If necessary, use a stick to smooth the edges of the press-on nail and remove any excess adhesive.

 

 

Glue Application Method

For those seeking a longer-lasting hold, this application method is ideal. Follow these steps for a durable and secure fit:

1. Clean and Trim Your Nails:

As with the sticky tab method, start by cleaning and trimming your nails, and pushing back your cuticles.

2. Gently File the Surface of Your Nails:

If you're using Allsugoi Advanced Nail Glue, you can skip this step. Otherwise, gently file the surface of your nails and clean them to ensure a strong bond.

 

 

3. Select the Appropriate Nail Size:

Pick the press-on nails that fit each of your natural nails perfectly. Make sure the underside of the press-on nail is clean.

4. Apply Glue:

Apply a thin layer of glue to the false nail.

5. Spread the Glue:

Slide the false nail over your real nail 2-3 times to spread the glue evenly, then press the false nail into position and hold for 10 seconds.

 

 

6. Smooth the Edges:

If needed, use a stick to smooth the edges of the press-on nail and remove any excess glue.

Pros and Cons of Each Method

Sticky Tab Application:

• Pros: Easy and quick to apply, press-on nails can be reused, gentle on natural nails, perfect for short-term wear.

Glue Application:

• Pros: Provides a stronger, longer-lasting bond, ideal for long-term wear and special occasions.

Recommendations

For Short-Term Wear and Reusability: Sticky tabs are your best bet. They’re quick to apply and remove, making them perfect for events that last a day or two.
