The use of press-on nails mainly includes the following steps:
First, the preparation stage
Clean hands and nails:
Use soap or hand sanitizer to thoroughly clean your hands to remove oil and dirt.
Use nail clippers to trim your nails to the right length, 2-3 mm longer than the free line is generally recommended.
Polish the nail surface:
Use a rubbing or sanding strip to gently sand the surface of the nail to remove the natural sheen and increase friction so that the jelly or glue will adhere better.
Be careful when sanding to gently pull vertically, do not over-polish to avoid thinning or damage to the nail.
To clean your nails:
Wipe the surface of the nail with an alcohol pad to remove dust and oil from the polish and ensure that the nail is clean and dry.
Second, choose the right adhesive
There are two main types of adhesive for press-on nails: jelly glue and solid patch glue. Choose the right adhesive according to your personal preferences and needs.
Third, wear nails
Heat the jelly glue (if using jelly glue) :
Pour a cup of hot water and warm the jelly at the bottom of the cup to make it softer and stickier.
Stick jelly glue:
Choose a jelly that is a little smaller than your fingernail and stick it 1 mm from the base of your finger edge.
Scrape all corners and edges of the jelly with your nail to remove the air and make sure the jelly fits tightly to your nail.
Remove the anti-stick paper from the jelly glue.
Nail plate:
Hold the nail at a 45 degree Angle at the base of the nail, slowly push and press to make sure the nail and nail fit tightly.
Press from the middle to both sides to remove air bubbles and make the nail more firm.
Heated jelly glue (optional) :
Use the small heat of the hair dryer to blow the nail surface to increase the viscosity of the jelly glue and make it more firm.
Adjust position:
Within one minute after pasting, the position of the press-on nail can be adjusted slightly while pressing to achieve the best fitting effect.
Fourth, follow-up care
Avoid immediate water:
After applying the nail, it is recommended to wait 3-7 hours before dipping in water to ensure that the adhesive is fully dry and cured.
Pay attention to protection:
Avoid excessive use of nails, such as peeling oranges and other hard objects, so as not to fall off or damage the press-on nail.
If you need to do housework or other activities that may damage the press-on of the nail, it is recommended to wear gloves for protection.
Keep properly:
If you need to temporarily remove the nail, store it properly to avoid deformation or damage.
Through the above steps, you can successfully attach the press-on nail. Remember to choose the right adhesive and nail style according to your personal needs and preferences!
