Q1: How do I prep my nails before applying press on nails?

Start by pushing back your cuticles, lightly buffing the nail surface, and cleaning each nail with an alcohol wipe to remove natural oils. This creates a smooth base for your press on nails to stick better and last longer.

Q2: Why is nail prep important for glue on nails?

Proper nail prep helps your glue on nails stay secure and prevents lifting or early popping off. Removing oils and buffing the surface gives the adhesive a better grip and ensures longer-lasting wear.

Q3: Can I reuse press on nails if I prep properly?

Yes! With proper prep and gentle removal, many of our press on nails can be reused. Just make sure to clean off any leftover adhesive and store them safely between wears.
