How to Use Halloween Press-On Nails
- Clean Your Nails: Remove any old polish you are using and wash your hands thoroughly with slightly warm water. Then wait for fully dry.
- Prep the Nails: Push back cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface to the front side. Even did not even come out using the remover solution around the nails.
- Size the Nails: Match each press-on to your natural nails for the perfect fit.
- Apply Adhesive: Use nail glue or adhesive tabs (as provided). If you want to get more than 14 days long-lasting, we recommend using nail glue and adhesive tabs together. If you want to change the design weekly once, only using glue is the best choice for nails. The adhesive tab is best for a date night or a little event-looking glamour.
- Align and Press: Place the press-on near the cuticle and press firmly for 20-30 seconds.
- Optional: File to your desired shape or length.
