How To PREP Your Nails

Prepping your nails is the key to a long-lasting press-on manicure.

Using a cuticle pusher to gently push back cuticles for a clean nail bed.

STEP 1: Push Back Cuticles

Gently push back your cuticles using the cuticle stick provided. This helps the press-ons adhere flush to your natural nail.
Buffing the surface of natural nails to remove shine and improve press-on adhesion.

STEP 2: Buff the Surface

Use the nail file to lightly buff the surface of each nail. A slightly rough texture helps the adhesive stick better.
Wiping nails with alcohol pad to clean and dry before application.

STEP 3: Clean and Dry

Thoroughly wipe your nails with the alcohol pad to remove any oils or dust. Let them fully dry before applying.

👉 Tip: Avoid touching your nails after cleaning to prevent transferring oils back to the surface.
