How to Make Press-On Nails Last Longer
One of the greatest advantages of press-on nails is that you can achieve perfect nails with minimal effort. Generally, press-on nails applied with adhesive tabs have a shorter lifespan compared to those applied with nail glue.
- For Short-Term Wear (One Event or a Few Days):
Use adhesive tabs. They are easy to apply and remove.
- For Medium-Term Wear (About a Week):
Apply nail glue to either the press-on nail or your natural nail surface, not both.
- For Long-Term Wear (More than a Week):
Apply nail glue to both the press-on nail and your natural nail surface for maximum hold.
- Tips for Longevity:
To ensure your press-on nails last as long as possible, avoid soaking them in warm water for extended periods.
How to Properly Remove Press-On Nails
While press-on nails are convenient, it's important to remove them correctly to avoid damaging your natural nails.
Steps for Safe Removal:
- Soak Your Nails:
Before removing your press-on nails, soak them in warm, soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help loosen the adhesive.
- Gently Pry Off the Nails:
After soaking, use a wooden cuticle stick to gently lift and remove the press-on nails. This method is the best way to avoid damage to your natural nail bed.
- Alternative Removal Method:
Use a Press-On Nail Remover:
Apply the remover, which can loosen the press-on nails within minutes, making them easier to remove.
