Are you tired of your press-on nails not lasting as long as you'd like them to? We've got you covered with some essential tips to make your press-ons last longer and keep your nails looking fabulous!

Proper preparation is key to ensuring the longevity of your press-on nails. Start by cleaning your nails thoroughly and removing any old nail polish. Gently push back your cuticles to create a smooth base for the press-ons to adhere to. Next, make sure to select the right size press-ons for each of your nails. Avoid using press-ons that are too big or too small, as they are more likely to lift and cause the entire set to come off prematurely. Before applying the press-ons, lightly buff the surface of your nails to create a slightly rough texture. This will help the adhesive bond better to your natural nails and prevent the press-ons from popping off. When it comes to applying the press-ons, be sure to press down firmly and hold each nail in place for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to set properly. Avoid getting your nails wet for at least an hour after application to give the adhesive enough time to fully dry and adhere to your nails. To maintain your press-ons and prevent them from lifting, avoid activities that may put excessive pressure on your nails, such as opening cans or using your nails as tools. Instead, use the pads of your fingers to protect your press-ons and keep them looking flawless. Finally, be sure to regularly moisturize your cuticles and the skin around your nails to keep them healthy and hydrated. Dry, brittle nails are more prone to lifting and damage, so keeping them moisturized is essential for extending the life of your press-ons. By following these simple tips, you can make your press-on nails last longer and enjoy a beautiful and long-lasting manicure.
