ally being for thumbs and higher numbers for pinkies. The number system can vary slightly between brands but generally sizing tends to be similar, and I provide a sizing guide available for $5. Once you ID your size for each finger, write it down in your phone or paper, so you remember for future applications and don’t have to spend time on trial and error. (How to size your nails description;

What to do with your nail sizing kit; press each press-on nail up to your real nail and see how it fits! Once you find a full set that fits just right, send me a message to discuss customizing a set for you or help design your own set! In the set each nail has a number imbedded under the nail and on the package.) Step 2: File and prep your nails
Prepping your nails for press-ons doesn’t differ much from what you would (ideally) do for a regular polish mani. Washing your hands before getting started and get the alcohol wipe provided over your nail beds to get an extra-clean surface, which will help with adherence. Step 3: Glue down your set
Your nails are sized and your fingers are prepped, so now it’s go time. To achieve the best application results, apply one nail at a time and do not rush it. Apply a small amount of glue onto your natural nail plate. For the sturdiest hold; applying one or two drops of glue and then spreading it across the entire surface of your nail for a thin, even coat. Then, apply your press-on nail right away and hold it in place for 10 seconds before moving on to the next finger. To ensure your nails are secure, place your press-on right up to the cuticle leaving no gaps or exposed nail bed. Step 4: Shorten and shape them
Now that your nails are on (hooray!), if the length is too long for your liking, simply file down the press-ons to your desired length. Filing and contouring the sides of the nails will give a more natural and streamlined look, and using your file at an angle underneath the nail and never directly on top of the press-on because you may end up filing off the colour or design. And if you’re tempted to cut them at all with nail clippers, don’t! It can damage and crack the nail. If you end up filing, I would get a top clear coat to make sure all sides are sealed for longer lasting. Step 5: Make them last
Now that your application is finished, you want those babies to last, right? Depending on the type of press-on used and the form of glue, most sets should stay on anywhere from five days to well over a week. To get the most out of your newly applied manicure, I advise against soaking your nails in warm or hot water as this can cause the press-on to swell and pop off. (Pick up some dish gloves, stat!) Another no-no: using your nails to open cans or jars, as it can weaken the hold of the glue. When it’s time to remove your press-ons
When it’s time to take your press-ons off, you want to take precautions to ensure you don’t damage your natural nails during the process. According to studies, the best way to remove your press-ons is soaking them in warm water for a few minutes, then applying a little bit of cuticle oil or olive oil onto an orange-wood stick and gently encouraging the nail to release by massaging in a circular motion around your nail beds. Can you reuse press-on nails? If your press-ons are in good shape after removal (there’s no wear and tear and the shape didn’t get warped during removal), they can be worn again. But before you pop them back on, I recommends wiping down the inside of the nail with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab to remove any residual glue. If there’s still glue hanging on post wipe down, she says you can gently buff it off with a file or buffer provided. note: Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, it might be best to refrain from reusing nails for the time being.
