How to apply press on nails (description below)

Im putting “luv” to the test! I put them on since March 9th & I’m going on day 10! Honestly the key to long lasting nails to me really depends on your prep. Of course with our nails they can last even longer 😅 but a good prep would even get you nails from the dollar store to last a pretty long time! Here’s some tips I did in the video which was originally under 10 minutes all condensed down to 20 seconds lol.
1. Push back your cuticles! I know this seems like a scary step but you will know how much pressure to put in order to push it enough where it doesn’t hurt AND it shouldn’t hurt. You know you have done it right when you see the skin that sticks to your nail bed start lifting. As someone who has done it time and time again, I go another level & start scraping gently to remove dead skin but not too much that it will damage my nails.
2. Filing the sides of your nails will also help w/ how they will fit. If some of your nails are showing on the side, it may jeopardize how long your nails will last!
3. When Im buffing the surface of my nails, I make sure to do it enough where my nails are no longer shiny. I also take the edges & corners of the nail buffer to really get into my cuticle and buff away the dead skin like.. I REALLY get up in there. Maybe it’s a me thing but I just love cuticle clean up & having a nice clean nail bed. I feel like that’s the number one thing to prevent lifting. If you have cuticle nippers & comfortable with cutting them, I would do that too but that’s honestly optional as long as you buff it well.
4. If you buff it well, you can take an alcohol pad & clean up. You can clean your other finger nail by kind of scraping around the cuticles to get rid of any nail dust & excess skin. Of course, do it gently but thoroughly. The goal is to prep your nails well but also keep the integrity of your nails. We support nail health here 😅🫶🏼
5. Make sure your glue is covering the whole nail & press down at an angle towards your cuticle, hold for 15 seconds & wait to wash your hands for about an hour & you’re good to go! I’d add more but I’m running out of space 😅
hope it helps!
