Steps:
- Size Match: First, ensure the press-on nails match your nails perfectly in size. Proper sizing is crucial to prevent the nails from falling off prematurely.
- Prepare Your Natural Nails: Use the cuticle pusher included in your kit to gently push back your cuticles and remove any dead skin on the nail surface. This ensures that the stick pad can fully adhere to your nail.
- File Your Nails: With the pink side of the mini file from your kit, lightly file your natural nails. Focus on removing any dead skin and smoothing out vertical ridges. This step is essential for enhancing the stick pad's adherence to your nail.
- Apply the Stick Pad: Choose the stick pad that fits your nail size. Apply it onto your nail, leaving about 1mm of space from the nail edge. Carefully smooth out any air bubbles using your finger or the cuticle pusher to ensure no gaps or air pockets are left. This enhances the stick pad's grip.
- Heat the Stick Pad (Optional): For even better adhesion, you can gently heat the stick pad with a hairdryer for about 10 seconds. This softens the pad, making it stickier.
- Attach the Press-On Nail: While the stick pad is still warm, align the press-on nail at a 45-degree angle, starting about 1mm from your cuticle. Press the nail down firmly towards the tip of your finger. Hold in place for about 20 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
- Post-Application Care: After applying the nails, avoid using your hands in activities, especially involving water, for at least an hour to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
