Getting salon perfect nails at home takes less than 10 minutes when done right. Here’s the exact technique for a long lasting, flawless application:


Step 1: Prep like a pro

  1. Do not wash your hands right before application. Your nails must be completely dry. No moisture, no lotion, no oil.
  2. Push back your cuticles gently using the cuticle stick.
  3. Buff the surface of your natural nails in all directions to remove shine and help the glue stick better.
  4. Wipe each nail with the alcohol pad provided to remove oils and dust.

    (Tip: The cleaner and drier your natural nails, the longer your pressénails will last.)

Step 2: Find your perfect fit

  1. Choose sizes for all 10 nails before you start.
  2. If a nail feels slightly large, file the sides for a snug fit.
  3. Lay out your nails in order so you can apply them quickly.


Step 3: Apply

Option A – For long lasting wear (3 - 4 weeks):

  1. Apply a thin, even layer of glue to your natural nail and to the back of the pressénails.
  2. Place the nail starting from the cuticle area, pressing firmly towards the tip to avoid air bubbles.
  3. Hold each nail down for 20–30 seconds with steady pressure.


Option B – For short term wear (upto 7 days):

  1. Apply the adhesive tab on your natural nail and press it flat. (Pro tip: use a blow dry to heat the sticky tabs after applying it on your nails)
  2. Peel off the protective film and press the pressénails on top, holding for 20 seconds.

Step 4: The Secret Tip: File the Top!

You might notice tiny edges or extensions at the tips of your pressénails. Just file it slightly according to your desired shape and there you go!

Step 5: Avoid water for 1 - 2 hours

After applying, don’t wash your hands or expose them to water for at least 1 hour.

Let the glue fully set and bond, this is what gives your nails real staying power.

You’re done! Your pressénails are now secure and ready for compliments!

With correct prep and use of glue, wear can last up to 3-4 weeks. Using adhesive tabs for shorter wear, expect upto 7 days.


Yes, pressénails are fully reusable, crafted with salon grade quality so you can wear them again and again. Simply remove them gently, cleanse off any residue, and store them in the pressénails box for your next use.


Step 1: Soak & soften

Fill a small bowl with warm water, add a few drops of gentle soap or cuticle oil, and soak your nails for 10–15 minutes.

This helps loosen the adhesive without straining your natural nails.

Step 2: Lift gently

Once softened, use the wooden cuticle stick provided to gently lift from the sides, never force or pull.

If it doesn’t come off easily, soak for a few more minutes and try again.

Step 3: Clean & care

After removal, wipe your nails with a little alcohol or oil to remove any leftover glue.

Lightly buff if needed, and finish with cuticle oil or moisturizer to restore hydration.

Step 4: Store for next time

Your pressénails are reusable, simply clean the back of each nail, place them back into the box, and they’ll be ready for your next wear.
