Applying press-on nails with sticky tabs is a quick and convenient way to achieve a salon-quality manicure at home. Follow these steps to ensure a flawless and long-lasting application:

1. Trim and Shape Your Nails

Start by trimming your natural nails to your desired length. Use a nail file to smooth out the edges and shape the tips. This helps the press-on nails adhere better and ensures a comfortable fit.

2. Push Back the Cuticles

Use the wooden stick from our Free Tool Kit or an appropriate tool to gently push back your cuticles. This step creates a clean surface for the press-ons and prevents lifting.

3. Buff and Clean Your Nails

Gently buff the surface of your nails using a sponge buffer. This removes any natural oils and creates a slightly rough surface, which helps the sticky tabs adhere better. After buffing, use an alcohol pad to clean your nails thoroughly, removing dust and oil.

4. Apply the Sticky Tabs

Select the appropriate size sticky tab for each nail. Peel the sticky tab from the backing and place it on your natural nail. For a longer-lasting hold, you can gently heat the sticky tabs with a blow dryer for a few seconds after applying them to your nails. This helps enhance the adhesive strength.

5. Attach the Press-On Nails

Align the press-on nail at a 45-degree angle to your natural nail and press down firmly. Hold the nail in place for about 15 seconds to ensure a secure bond. Be sure to press evenly across the entire nail to avoid air bubbles.

6. Avoid Water Exposure

After application, avoid getting your hands wet for at least two hours. This waiting period allows the sticky tabs to fully adhere to your natural nails, ensuring a longer-lasting manicure.

By following these steps, you can enjoy a beautiful and durable press-on nail application. Tipfairy Nails' high-quality sticky tabs and press-on nails make it easy to achieve a professional look from the comfort of your home.
