10pcs Handmade Press on Nails Almond Shaped (#10)

Using handmade nails (press-on or glue-on nails) is simple and can give you a salon-quality manicure at home. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Materials Needed:

Handmade nails (press-on or glue-on)

Nail file & buffer

Cuticle pusher

Alcohol wipes or nail prep solution

Nail glue (for longer wear) or adhesive tabs (for temporary use)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prep Your Natural Nails

Trim and file your natural nails to your desired shape.

Push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher.

Lightly buff the surface of your nails to remove shine for better adhesion.

Clean your nails with an alcohol wipe or nail prep solution to remove oil and dirt.

2. Choose the Right Nail Sizes

Lay out the handmade nails and match them to the size of your natural nails.

If needed, file the sides of the press-on nails for a better fit.

3. Application Options

With Nail Glue (Long-Lasting Wear)

Apply a thin layer of nail glue to your natural nail and the back of the handmade nail.

Press the nail onto your natural nail and hold for 10-15 seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Repeat for all fingers.

With Adhesive Tabs (Short-Term Wear)

Peel off the adhesive tab and apply it to your natural nail.

Press the handmade nail onto the adhesive tab and hold for a few seconds.

4. Finishing Touches

File and shape the handmade nails if needed.

Apply a top coat for extra shine and protection.

Avoid water for at least an hour to let the glue fully set.

5. Removal Process

Soak nails in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes.

Gently lift the edges with a cuticle stick.

Use nail polish remover (acetone) for stubborn glue residue.
