How to Make Your Press-On Nails Last Longer? Tips And Tricks

 Do you love stylish nails but don’t want to spend hours at the salon? Press-on nails are a great solution! With the right preparation and application, they can look amazing and stay on for a long time. Follow this simple guide to apply Glowberry press-on nails correctly.

Step 1: Prepare Your Nails

Good preparation is important for making your press-on nails last longer. Here’s what to do:

  • Push back your cuticles with a cuticle stick to create a clean surface.

  • Shape your nails using a file to smooth any rough edges.

  • Pick the right size by holding the press-on nails over your natural nails and choosing the best fit.

  • Buff your nails with the file in the Glowberry kit to improve adhesion.

  • Remove oils by wiping your nails with the alcohol pad included in the kit.

👉 Tip: Don’t touch your nails after using the alcohol pad to avoid adding oil back onto them.

Step 2: Choose Your Adhesive

The type of adhesive you use will affect how long your nails stay on. Glowberry offers three options:

Option 1: Nail Glue (For Long Wear)

If you want your nails to last a long time:

  • Apply an even layer of nail glue to your natural nails and the back of the press-ons.

  • Be careful, as the glue dries fast—avoid getting it on your skin.

Option 2: Sticky Tabs (For Short Wear)

For a quick and easy application:

  • Choose the correct size sticky tab for each nail.

  • Press the tab onto your natural nail and peel off the protective layer before applying the press-on.

Option 3: Sticky Tabs & Nail Glue Combo (For Medium Wear)

For a balance between long wear and easy removal:

  • Apply the sticky tabs to your natural nails.

  • Add a little nail glue on top of the tabs.

  • Firmly press and hold the press-on nails in place.

Step 3: Apply and Press Down

Now that you have prepared your nails and chosen your adhesive, it’s time to apply the press-on nails!

  • Hold each nail at a 45-degree angle and place it onto your natural nail.

  • Press down firmly for 20-30 seconds, making sure there are no air bubbles.

  • For extra strong hold, press for 90 seconds.

Tips for Long-Lasting Nails

💡 Pick the right size: If a press-on nail is too big or small, it won’t stick properly. 💡 Avoid water and pressure: Wait at least 5 minutes before using your hands and 1 hour before exposing your nails to water. 💡 Use a top coat: A clear top coat can help protect and extend the life of your press-ons.
