Easy as 1, 2, 3: Your Stick-On Nail Application Guide

Think salon-worthy nails (even those trendy acrylic looks!) are out of reach? Think again! With our stick-on nails, you'll get a gorgeous mani in minutes—no pro skills needed. Follow these steps for flawless results:

1. Prep Your Nails : Begin by cleaning your nails with a polish remover to ensure they're free from oils and residues. Use a cuticle pusher or stick to gently push back your cuticles, creating a smooth canvas for your stick-on nails.
2. Get the Right Fit : Match each stick-on nail to your nail beds, ensuring a snug fit. If necessary, trim the sides or cut down the length of the fake nails for a perfect match. Use a nail file to smooth any edges for a natural look.
3. Apply the Adhesive : Most stick-on nails come with adhesive tabs – super easy and gentle on your nails. Place a tab on your nail, press down, and peel off the top layer.
4. Stick Them On : Firmly press the stick-on nail onto your natural nail, starting from the cuticle and working your way to the tip. Hold for about 10 seconds to ensure the nail is securely attached.
5. Final Touches : Once all the nails are applied, use a nail file to shape them to your liking. This step helps blend the fake nails more seamlessly with your natural nails, making your manicure look more professional.

Stick-On vs. Press-On Nails

Here's the thing : "stick-on nails" and "press-on nails" are basically the same! They're those ready-to-wear, false nails that give you a salon-quality mani in a fraction of the time. Think gorgeous colours, fun designs, and even those trendy, super-long styles—no nail tech needed.

The main difference comes down to how you apply them. Some press-on nails use nail glue for a longer-lasting hold, while others come with adhesive tabs if you want a quick change or prefer something less harsh on your nails. So, whether you see a cute pack of pink stick-ons or a set of short press-on nails, you're getting that instant nail upgrade!

The Fastest Way to Take Off Stick-Ons

While getting stick-ons on is super quick, getting them off the right way takes a little more patience. The fastest way to ditch those stick-ons without wrecking your natural nails involves a soak! Here's our gameplan:

1. Gather Your Supplies : Grab a bowl, some warm, soapy water, and a bit of cuticle oil (optional, but your cuticles will love it!).
2. Soak and Relax : Dip your fingertips in the warm water and let those nails soak for about 10 minutes. This helps loosen the adhesive.
3. Gently Pry : Starting at the edges, gently lift the stick-on nails. If they're still stubborn, soak a little longer or try carefully working a cuticle pusher or cuticle stick underneath.
4. Bonus TLC : Once the stick-ons are off, pamper those nails! Cuticle oil and a bit of hand cream will keep them happy and ready for your next mani adventure.
