This way, you can wear your favourite shade as Press-on Nails too, and easily mix & match with your mani-pedi. Application is super easy: stick them on with the Glue Pads for a quick switch, or use Nail Glue for a longer-lasting hold.

Size Matcher

Remove the Press-on Nails from the packaging and use the Size Matcher to find the right sizes. Stick the Press-on Nails in order on the adhesive strip. They are numbered; the higher the number, the smaller the size. Try them on your natural nails to find the correct size, note the size on the Size Matcher, and place them back on the strip. Make sure each Press-on Nail fits perfectly along the edges of your natural nail without overlapping. If you need a better fit, file the sides of the Press-on Nails.

Apply Press-ons with Glue Pads

Step 1: Prep your nails

Prep is key for long-lasting results. If your natural nails are longer than the Press-on Nails, file them shorter. Gently remove the shine from your nail plate using a Nail File or a Polishing Block. Clean your nails with a Cleaner Wipe or a Nail Wipe with Cleaner to remove oils.

Step 2: Place the Glue Pad on your nail

Select the right Glue Pad size (they have the same numbers as the nails) and place it on your nail. Trim if it’s too large. Press firmly and smooth out the edges and air bubbles with the flat side of the Woodstick.

Step 3: Place the Press-on nail

Remove the protective film, place the Press-on Nail at a 45° angle to the cuticle and press down slowly. Hold for 60 seconds.

Step 4: Repeat these steps

Repeat these steps on all your nails.

Note: If glue touches your skin, wait until it’s dry, then gently loosen it with Cuticle Oil and the Woodstick.
