Aftercare for press on nails

Maintaining a proper regimen for press-on nail care ensures your nails retain their optimal appearance for an extended period. Explore these post-care recommendations to uphold the beauty of your nails.

Avoid water the first few hours

Once you’ve applied your press-on nails, you should avoid water for at least 2-3 hours after the application. Wait for a few hours for the glue to completely dry before you get your hands wet.  The combination of water and soap could potentially deteriorate the bond of the glue, resulting in the premature detachment of your nails. Therefore, avoid contact with water if you wanna get the best out of your false nails.

We suggest allocating time for a nighttime manicure to ensure a thorough application before retiring to bed. This precise method enables the adhesive to cure overnight, leading to a strong and long-lasting outcome.

Another great tip if you wanna protect your press on's even further, is to use hand sanitizer, if possible, instead of washing your hands, and use gloves when doing the dishes.

Avoid chlorine

Chlorine softens and discolors false nails – that’s why you should avoid taking a swim in the pool. However, if you’re already looking forward to a planned holidays by the pool, you can protect your press-on nails by applying a top coat as an extra protective layer.


Avoid using your nails as tools

This is a big one, treat you nails with care. Using them as tools will damage the nail enhancement and damage your natural nail. Always wear protective gloves when gardening and household chores.

Customize the length of the press-on nails

Beautiful, long nails are always a fashionable, however they may not be the best choice for everyone. The distinctiveness of our press-on nails resides in the capability to select your desired length and shape to customize your preferred nail aesthetic.
