Caring for Your Handmade Press-On Nails

Taking good care of your handmade press-on nails is the key to keeping them looking fabulous and lasting longer. With just a few simple steps, you can maintain their beauty and enjoy your perfect nails for days to come!

Prep Your Natural Nails

  • Start with clean nails—remove oils, lotions, and any old polish using alcohol wipes or nail polish remover.
  • Lightly buff the surface to help the press-ons stick better.

Keep Water Exposure in Check

  • Avoid getting your nails wet for at least 2 hours after applying to help them last longer.
  • Wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning to protect your nails from water and harsh chemicals.

Handle With Care

  • Use your nails gently—avoid using them as tools to open cans, peel stickers, or anything that might stress them.
  • When typing, try to use the pads of your fingers instead of the nail tips to prevent damage.

Hydrate Your Cuticles

  • Keep your cuticles and hands moisturized with cuticle oil and hand lotion. Healthy cuticles make your nails look even better and can help them last longer.

Maintain the Shape

  • If edges start lifting or feel sharp, gently file them down to keep your nails smooth and comfortable.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

  • Steer clear of acetone-based products, as acetone can weaken or damage your press-ons. Use a non-acetone polish remover if you need to remove polish.

Remove with Care

  • Don’t force your nails off—soak them in warm, soapy water or use a gentle nail glue remover to safely take them off without harming your natural nails.
  • Avoid peeling or popping them off to protect both your press-ons and your nails.

Store for Reuse

  • Planning to wear your nails again? Clean off any leftover glue after removal and store them in a cool, dry place to keep them looking fresh for next time.
