Pressing on nails with nail tabs involves selecting the correct size tab, sticking it to either your natural nail or the back of the press-on nail, and then firmly pressing the press-on nail onto your natural nail.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Select the Right Size Tabs: Choose nail tabs that closely match the size of your natural nails. They should cover most of the nail surface without overlapping the skin.
-
Placement Option 1: On Your Natural Nail:
- Peel the nail tab from the sheet.
- Stick the adhesive side firmly onto your clean, dry natural nail. Position it slightly away from the cuticle.
- Remove the protective film from the top of the nail tab.
-
Placement Option 2: On the Back of the Press-On Nail:
- Peel the nail tab from the sheet.
- Stick the adhesive side firmly onto the back of the press-on nail.
- Remove the protective film from the top of the nail tab.
-
Apply the Press-On Nail: Align the press-on nail with your cuticle and press down firmly for at least 20-30 seconds. Apply consistent pressure to ensure a strong bond.
-
Repeat: Repeat steps 1-4 for each nail.
Using nail tabs is a simple and non-damaging way to apply press-on nails, offering a temporary alternative to nail glue.
