1. Prep like crazy (most people skip this!)

• Wash hands and nails with soap, then dry completely.

• Push back cuticles and remove any skin from the nail plate.

• Lightly buff the entire nail surface until it’s matte — no shine left.

• Wipe nails with the 90%+ isopropyl alcohol pad provided (no oils or lotion afterward).

2. Double-Glue Method

• Apply a thin layer of glue to your natural nail.

• Apply another thin layer to the back of the press-on.

• This creates a stronger, longer-lasting bond.

3. Pressure is Everything

• Position the nail at the cuticle and press down at a 45° angle.

• Hold firmly for 30–60 seconds with steady pressure, making sure the edges are sealed.

Pro Tip: Avoid soaking your nails in the first two hours (no long showers, swimming, or dishwashing) for the longest-wear.
