Press-on nails are the secret to salon-worthy nails in minutes β no mess, no harsh glue, just instant glam! If you love switching styles often or prefer a gentle, reusable option, sticky tabs are your best friend. Hereβs how to get the perfect, long-lasting application β like a pro.
Β
Step 1: Prep Your Nails π§Ό
Start with clean, dry nails.
Gently buff the surface of each nail and push back your cuticles to create a smooth, even base. This step helps your sticky tabs adhere better.
π‘ Pro Tip: Use an alcohol wipe after buffing to remove oils and dehydrate your nail surface β this is key to a strong hold!
Step 2: Choose the Right Size Sticky Tabs π
Select the sticky tab that best fits each nail.
Make sure it covers your nail surface edge-to-edge without overlapping onto your skin.
π₯ Bonus Hack: Use a hair dryer to lightly warm the sticky tab before applying β the warmth increases its stickiness and staying power!
Step 3: Apply the Sticky Tabs π©Ά
Peel off the backing and carefully place the sticky tab on your natural nail.
Press it down firmly to ensure itβs fully adhered.
Step 4: Press On Your Nails π
Align your press-on nail with your cuticle line, then press down and hold for 10β15 seconds.
Make sure to press evenly from the center outward to seal the edges.
Step 5: Show Off Your Perfect Set! β¨
And thatβs it β effortless, elegant nails that look salon-fresh! Sticky tabs can last 1β3 days depending on your routine and can be easily removed for a new style. Perfect for weekend wear, events, or photo days π
