How to Prep Your Natural Nails
Proper preparation of your natural nails is an important step before application. Follow the instructions included with your kit for best results.
Start by using the alcohol prep pad that comes in your kit. Wipe each nail to remove any oils, dust, or residue. Let your nails air dry completely after wiping them down.
Next, use the file to lightly roughen the surface of your natural nails. This creates a texture for application. Push back your cuticles gently using the cuticle stick included in your kit to prepare the nail surface.

1. Pick Your Size
Go through each nail and find the size that covers your natural nail from side to side without overlapping your skin. The fit should feel snug.
2. Apply the Glue
Put a small drop of glue on both the press on nail and your natural nail. Use the amount recommended in your kit instructions.
3. Press and Hold
Press the nail onto your finger at a 45-degree angle first, then lower it flat. Hold it down firmly for the time specified in your kit instructions to allow the glue to set.
4. Repeat for All Nails
Work through each finger, repeating the process. Take your time with the application.
5. Let It Cure
Once all your nails are on, follow the curing time recommended in your kit instructions before exposing your nails to water or other activities.
Making Your Press On Nails Last
Once your nails are applied and fully cured, treat them according to the care instructions provided with your kit. Be gentle with your cuticles and avoid picking at the edges. When you wash your hands, avoid letting water pool around the edges where the nail meets your skin.
If a nail starts to lift at the edges, you can reapply glue under that edge following your kit's instructions. Just lift the corner slightly, add a small amount of fresh glue, press down, and allow it to cure as directed.
Style Options and Customization
Press on nails come in various finishes and lengths. You can choose from different styles for everyday wear or special occasions.
Different length options let you pick what works for your preference. Some people prefer shorter nails for practicality, while others prefer longer lengths. You can switch up your style whenever you want.
When you're ready to explore options, Victori'Ahh's Vanity offers press on nail kits with a range of finishes and sizes.
Common Questions About Glue and Application
Can I reuse press on nails?
Yes, you can reuse them if you remove them carefully. Gently peel them off from the edges rather than yanking them straight off. Once they're off, carefully clean away old glue with warm water and a soft scrub. Once they're clean and dry, they're ready for your next application.
What if the glue isn't bonding as expected?
Follow the preparation and application steps included in your kit instructions. Make sure your nails are completely dry and lightly roughened, use the amount of glue specified in your instructions, and allow adequate curing time before exposing your nails to water.
How long can I wear them?
Refer to the wear duration guidance provided in your kit instructions. The timeline may vary based on individual use and application.
Can I apply press on nails regularly?
Press on nails are consumer beauty products designed for at-home use. Always follow the application and removal instructions provided with your kit. If you have specific concerns about your nail health, consult a dermatologist or other qualified healthcare professional.
