How To Care for Your Press On Nails

1. Avoid Water Immediately After Application

  • Keep nails dry for at least 1 hour after applying
  • Avoid hot water for the first 12–24 hours

This allows adhesive to fully set.


2. Be Gentle with Daily Activities

  • Avoid using nails as tools
  • Use care when opening containers or handling objects
  • Handmade nails should be treated with extra care to protect their structure

3. Limit Oils & Lotions

  • Avoid applying oils or lotions directly to nails
  • If needed, moisturize hands lightly and avoid the cuticle area

Oils can weaken adhesion over time.


4. Wear Gloves When Needed

  • Use gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, or handling chemicals
  • This helps prevent lifting and preserves nail finish

5. Do Not Force Removal

  • Never pry or pull nails off
  • Forced removal may damage natural nails and reduce reusability

6. Store Properly for Reuse

  • Gently clean nails after removal
  • Store in original packaging or a protective case
  • Keep away from heat and direct sunlight

7. Special Care for Handmade Nails

  • Avoid reshaping unless instructed
  • Handle gently during wear and removal
  • Proper care allows handmade sets to be reused multiple times

Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Wear

  • Apply on clean, dry nails
  • Avoid excessive pressure
  • Reapply adhesive carefully if reusing
