Why Size Matters: When wearing press-on nails, finding the right size is essential for a perfect fit and a comfortable, long-lasting wear. Whether you're creating sets for personal use or selling them for your nail business, understanding sizing is key.

No sizing kit is needed unless client has abnormal finger shape, as the range helps customers can find their fit.

How to apply press on nails
Are you ready to elevate your nail game with the convenience and versatility of press-on nails? With the right technique and a little know-how, you can achieve stunning, salon-worthy nails in the comfort of your own home. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of applying press-on nails with glue, starting with clean and sanitized hands for a flawless finish.
Step 1: Begin with Clean Dry Hands Before diving into the world of press-on nails, it's essential to start with a clean canvas. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove any dirt, oil, or residue that could interfere with the adhesive bond. Dry your hands completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Sanitize and Dehydrate Your Nail Plate To ensure maximum adhesion and longevity of your press-on nails, it's crucial to properly sanitize and dehydrate your natural nail plate. This step helps remove any traces of oil or moisture that could prevent the glue from bonding effectively. Use a alcohol wipe.
Step 3: Size the Press-On Nails to Fit Your Nail Plate Now its time to find the perfect fit! Select press-on nails that match the
size of your natural nails. If needed, gently file the sides of the press-on nails to adjust the fit for a seamless look.
Step 4: Apply Glue to Press-On Nails and Nail Plate Apply a small drop of nail glue onto the back of each press-on nail, ensuring full coverage. Be mindful not to apply too much glue to avoid excess spillage.
Next, apply a thin layer of glue onto your natural nail plate, covering the entire surface evenly. This provides a secure base for the press-on nail to adhere to.
Step 5: Press-On and Secure Carefully align the press-on nail with your natural nail, starting from the cuticle and pressing down firmly towards the tip. Hold in place for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to bond securely.
Once all nails are applied, gently press down on each nail to ensure a snug fit and eliminate any air bubbles. This step helps ensure a seamless and long-lasting finish.
Step 6: Let It Dry Allow your newly applied press-on nails to dry completely before engaging in any activities. This typically takes a few minutes, depending on the type of glue used. Avoid getting your hands wet during this time to prevent premature lifting.
And there you have it! With these simple steps, you can achieve salon-quality nails in the comfort of your own home. Say goodbye to long salon appointments and hello to instant nail perfection with press-on nails!
Happy styling!

How to remove your
press on nails
Step by step removal
Using oil and water to remove press-on nails is a gentle method that can help loosen the adhesive. Here's a simple guide:
Gather Supplies:
You will need a bowl of warm, soapy water, an oil-based product (such as cuticle oil, olive oil, or coconut oil), and a cuticle stick or wooden nail stick.
Soak Your Nails:
Start by soaking your hands in the warm, soapy water for about 10-15 minutes. This helps soften the adhesive and makes it easier to remove the press-on nails.
Apply Oil:
Once your nails are adequately soaked, apply the oil around the edges of the press-on nails. You can use a cotton ball or a cotton swab to apply the oil.
Wait for Oil to Penetrate:
Allow the oil to penetrate the adhesive for a few minutes. This helps further loosen the bond between the press-on nails and your natural nails.
Gently Pry Off:
Use a cuticle stick or a wooden nail stick to gently pry off the press-on nails. Start from the sides and work your way toward the center. Be patient and avoid forcing them off to prevent damage.
Repeat if Necessary:
If the nails are not coming off easily, you can repeat the process. Soak your nails again in warm, soapy water and reapply the oil.
Buff and Moisturize:
After removing the press-on nails, gently buff your natural nails to smooth out any residue. Follow up with a good moisturizer or cuticle oil to hydrate your nails and surrounding skin.
Use Cuticle Oil:
Apply cuticle oil around the edges of the press-on nails to further loosen the adhesive and promote easy removal.
Avoid Force and Metal Tools:
Be gentle during the removal process. Avoid using force or metal tools, as these can damage your natural nails. If you encounter resistance, soak the nails longer and try again.
Buff and Moisturize:
After removing the handmade press-on nails, gently buff your natural nails to smooth out any residue. Follow up with a good moisturizer or cuticle oil to hydrate your nails and surrounding skin.
Professional Assistance:
If you're uncertain or encounter difficulties, consider seeking help from a professional nail technician. They have the expertise and proper tools to safely remove press-on nails without causing harm.
Always follow any specific instructions provided by the creator of the handmade press-on nails. If you experience discomfort or if the nails are not coming off easily, professional assistance is advisable to prevent damage to your natural nails.
