Clean Up

  1. Wait after application to allow the glue to set.

  2. Check each nail for excess glue around the edges.

  3. Use a Q-tip with nail polish remover to gently clean any visible glue.

  4. If glue gets on the press-on, wipe the surface with a paper towel lightly soaked in acetone.

Step 5

Shape the Nail Set

  1. Press-ons are totally customizable, so take a moment to shape them to your liking.

  2. Gently file around the edges to smooth out any rough spots or sharp corners.

  3. If your natural nail peeks out along the sides, file it down to match the press-on for a seamless finish.

  4. Notice a nail looking a little off-center? A quick side file can help straighten it up visually.

  5. Once they feel comfortable and look clean, you're ready to flaunt your flawless set!
