Application Guide
Flawless nails in minutes. No salon required. Follow these easy steps for a perfect, long-lasting press-on manicure
Step 1: Prep Like a Pro
⟡ Push Back Cuticles: Use the included cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles for a clean application
⟡ Buff the Surface: Lightly buff your natural nails with the nail file to create the perfect base
⟡ Wipe & Dry: Use the alcohol wipe to remove natural oils, ensuring a strong hold
Tip: Avoid touching your nails after wiping to keep them oil-free
Step 2: Choose Your Wear Time
✦ Short-Term Wear (1-5 Days) — Perfect for Events & Quick Switch-Ups
⟡ Apply Adhesive Tabs: Select the correct size, peel off the backing, and press onto your nail
⟡ Press & Hold: Align the press-on at a 45-degree angle near your cuticle and press firmly for 10-15 seconds
Tip: Avoid water for the first 2-3 hours to maximise hold
✦ Long-Lasting Wear (Up to 3 Weeks) — For a Salon-Look That Lasts
⟡ Apply Nail Glue: Apply a pea-sized amount of glue to your natural nail
⟡ Press & Hold: Align the press-on at a 45-degree angle near your cuticle and press firmly for 10-15 seconds
Tip: Allow glue to set by avoiding water exposure for at least 2-3 hours
Removal & Care
Extend the life of your press-ons with gentle removal and proper storage
How to Remove Press-Ons
⟡ Soak & Loosen: Mix warm water, soap, and oil in a bowl. Soak for 10-15 minutes until nails lift naturally
⟡ Gently Lift: Use the cuticle pusher to ease the press-on from your nail. If needed, soak longer instead of forcing removal
⟡ Remove Adhesive: If using adhesive tabs, roll off any remaining adhesive with the cuticle pusher. If using nail glue, gently buff off any residue with a nail file
⟡ Store for Reuse: Place press-ons back in their box to keep them in perfect shape. If using nail glue, gently buff off any residue from the back with a nail file before your next wear
✨ With proper care, your Nailrative press-ons can be worn multiple times, because beauty should be effortless and sustainable.
