How to Apply
- Size
Test-fit the press-on nails to find the correct size for each finger. (Sizes are found at the back of each press-on.) The edges of your press-on nail should line up with your natural nail to ensure it fits right above your cuticle. - Prep
Before applying adhesive, gently push back your cuticles, thoroughly buff your nail surface, and clean with an alcohol pad.
- Brush a thin layer of glue onto your natural nails with the Glamnetic Brush-On Nail Glue applicator.
- Apply a layer of glue onto the Glamnetic Press-On Nails.
- Place press-on nails onto natural nails. Press together for 10 seconds to ensure strong hold.
- Match the nail tabs number to your appropriate nail bed size.
- Press the adhesive tab to your natural nail and hold down to secure.
- Gently peel off the backing, firmly attach your press-on nails, and press together for 10 seconds to ensure strong hold.
- Soak hand in warm water for 10 minutes or until adhesive loosens.
- Using a cuticle stick, gently lift off press-on nails. Re-soak nails if required.
- Remove any excess adhesive from natural nails with a file.

- Lucy R.Verified Reviewer2 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsEnd of summer
2 + weeks, at least 4 wash days, and 1 day of deep cleaning and there finally some lift
- CharlotteVerified Buyer3 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSo pretty!
These nails are stunning and very comfortable. I'd describe the color as a lavender chrome in most lighting and a luminous silver on others. This is a great length and shape for those new to fake nails.
