How to apply your press ons!

Hi everyone!

At Nails By Paris, you have the option to adhere your nails using sticky tabs or nail glue. Sticky tabs are for short term wear as they are easier to remove whilst nail glue is for a long term alternative (2-3 weeks).

 

How to apply with nail glue:

Step 1.

Remove any previous nail polish and thoroughly wash your hands.

 

Step 2.

Gently push back your cuticles with the cuticle stick

 

Step 3.

Lightly buff the surface of your nail plate with the buffer to remove the natural shine of the nail.

 

Step 4.

Dehydrate your nails with the alcohol wipe by wiping the surface (ensure you do not touch anything once this step has been done).

 

Step 5.

Apply a thin layer of glue to the centre of the natural nail as well as the back of the press on (doing one nail at a time).

Step 6.

Align the press on with your cuticle and press down evenly on the centre of your nail. Firmly press each nail down for 15-30 seconds.

It is recommended that you avoid contact with water for up to 3 hours after adhering your press ons for best retention!

Use a hair dryer for 10-15 seconds to warm up the sticky tab.
