THE METHOD

HOW IT WORKS

Ten minutes on. Two weeks of wear. Five minutes off, with no damage. Here is the whole method.

APPLICATION
Wiping a bare natural nail clean with a lint free prep pad before applying press-on nails
01
PREP

Wipe each nail with the prep pad, push back cuticles, buff lightly. Thirty seconds per hand, and it is what buys the second week.

SIZE

Lay the set out and match a tip to each nail. Twelve sizes in every set, so one of them is yours.

OFF IN FIVE MINUTES, WITH NO DAMAGE

  1. 1 Soak your hands in warm water with a few drops of oil for five minutes.

SIZING

TWELVE SIZES IN EVERY SET

Twenty four nails, twelve sizes, both hands covered with spares for the common ones. If a size sits between two, take the larger and file the sides once it is on.

One of them is yours. That is the point.

MAKE IT LAST

THIN GLUE LAYER

A thin layer holds longer than a thick one, and it removes cleaner.

FIRST HOUR DRY

Give the glue an hour before dishes, showers or swimming.

GLOVES FOR CHORES

Cleaning products shorten wear. Gloves keep the gloss.

How It Works, Answered

How long do press-on nails take to apply?

About ten minutes for both hands. Prep each nail, match your sizes, then press for thirty seconds per nail. The first hour without water sets the hold.

How long do they last?

Up to two weeks with glue, three to five days with adhesive tabs. Clean, dry prep is what makes the difference.

Will one of the sizes fit me?

Every set carries twelve sizes across twenty four nails, covering both hands with spares for the most common sizes. A mini file is included to fine tune the fit.

How do I remove them without damage?

Soak your fingertips in warm water with a few drops of oil for five minutes, then lift gently from the sides. Never pry from the tip.

Can I reuse a set?

Yes, if removed gently and cleaned. Sets applied with adhesive tabs are the easiest to reuse.
