It is important to follow the application steps to ensure that your nails last you 2 weeks or more. Press on nails can last up to 4 weeks depending on the application and care. It is important to note that not everyone's wear is the same. You might need more prep work depending on how oily your nails get, your daily activities and potentially the length of your nails.

Step 1: Wash your hands and make sure that your nails are trimmed and clean.

Step 2: File and shape your nails. 

Step 3: Use the cuticle stick you received in your glamicure bag to push back your cuticles. You can trim your cuticle, at your discretion.

Step 4: Use provided nail buffer to buff the surface of your nails. Be careful not to go overboard, doing so will remove too many layers of your nails, weakening them.

Step 5: Use provided alcohol pad to remove any debris, dirt and oil from your nailbed and to dehydrate your nails. If needed, use a dehydrator or primer for better adhesion before continuing to the next step.

(Step 6: For short term wear, Apply the set using the nail adhesive tabs in your kit. For long term wear, follow the alternate step 6 instead.)

Step 6: Apply an appropriate amount of nail glue on to your nail bed, and on the inside of the nail top, try to avoid getting any on your skin. Do not apply too much glue, as this will cause the skin to spill over onto your skin and the nail tip. Once this happens, the nail is damaged and cannot be fixed.

Step 7: Apply the press on nail at a 45-degree angle from the cuticle, and "roll" down onto the rest of the nail. Press and hold firmly for 10 - 15 seconds.

Step 8: Repeat each step until all of your nails are applied.

Step 9: Apply your favorite cuticle oil for a healthy, hydrated finish.

 

If you feel your nails are not firmly attached, this could be because either you didn't apply enough glue, or you applied too much. In the instance that there is not enough glue, add more wherever there are gaps. If there is too much glue, the nail will move or come off with time.
