Press-On Nails UK: How to Apply Them for a Salon Look at Home
Press-on nails are the quickest way to get a salon look without the salon. Here is how we apply our XSIVA press-on nails.
1. Prep
Wash and fully dry your hands. Push back cuticles gently and lightly buff the nail surface so it is not shiny. Wipe each nail so there is no oil left.
2. Size first
Lay out the set and match a nail to each finger before you stick anything. If you are between sizes, choose the slightly larger one and file the sides.
3. Apply
Peel an adhesive tab (included in every set), press it onto your natural nail, then press the press-on down at a slight angle from the cuticle and hold for 20–30 seconds.
4. Avoid water for the first hour
Give the adhesive time to settle before washing up or showering.
5. Removing them
Soak your fingertips in warm soapy water and ease the nails off gently — never force them.
