With the right prep and application process, your candy claws will stand the test of time! Here are our top 3 tips to get your claws to stay on longer...
- Prep Your Nails Properly: Properly preparing your natural nails before applying press-on nails is crucial for ensuring a strong and lasting bond. Here's a step-by-step guide to nail preparation:
a) Push Back Cuticles: Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher or an orangewood stick. This step creates a clean surface and helps prevent lifting or peeling of the press-on nails.
b) Remove Oils: Use the included alcohol wipe or nail polish remover to thoroughly cleanse your nails and remove any natural oils or residue. Oils can interfere with the adhesive's effectiveness, so this step is essential for better adhesion.
c) Lightly Buff the Nails: Use the nail file to gently buff the surface of your natural nails. This creates a slightly rough texture that allows the press-on nails to grasp onto the surface more effectively, reducing the risk of them popping off prematurely.
- Apply Adequate Adhesive: The choice of adhesive is important when it comes to the longevity of your press-on nails. Whether you're using glue or adhesive tabs, the application technique is key to ensuring a secure bond. Follow these guidelines for optimal adhesion:
a) Using Glue: Apply a thin, even layer of nail glue onto the back of the press-on nail, ensuring complete coverage to avoid creating air bubbles. This is particularly important for transparent designs. Avoid applying too much glue, as it can seep out from the sides and create a messy appearance.
b) Using Adhesive Tabs: If you prefer an easier removal and less messy application, opt for our adhesive tabs. Place the flat side of a cuticle stick onto the adhesive tab and press it firmly onto the nail, removing any air bubbles in the process. This step ensures a solid connection between the press-on nail and your natural nail.
- Securely Apply the Press-on Nails: The way you apply your press-on nails plays a crucial role in their longevity. Follow this tip to ensure a strong foundation:
a) Angle the Nail: When applying the press-on nails, position them at a 90-degree angle from the cuticle downward. This technique allows the nail to adhere securely at the base, reducing the chances of premature lifting or popping off.
These simple yet effective tips can significantly enhance the longevity of your candy claws. Remember to prep your nails properly, apply adequate adhesive to avoid air bubbles, and secure the nails at a 90-degree angle from the cuticle downward. With these techniques, you can enjoy stunning, long-lasting press-on nails that stay put for weeks. Say goodbye to frequent touch-ups and hello to flawless manicures that endure the test of time!
