HOW TO APPLY ADHESIVE TABS

Quick guide to using adhesive tabs to apply press on nails fast and mess free!  Adhesive tabs are amazing if you want to apply press on nails without glue. They also make press on nails reusable!

1. PREPARATION IS KEY

Wipe your nails with an alcohol prep pad. This does two important jobs - cleaning your nails and dehydrating them.  Creating the perfect surface for the nail tab to stick to your nail properly.

 

2. SIZE UP

Choose the nail adhesive tab that fits your nail best. It should cover your nail from side wall to side wall. 

 

3. APPLY THE TAB

Peel the adhesive tab from the backing sheet and place it on your nail. The flap should face towards your cuticle.  Hold down for a few seconds.  Then lift the flap and peel off the thin adhesive cover.

 

4. APPLY THE PRESS ON NAIL

Place the press on nail as close to the cuticle as possible at a slight angle. Hold down.  The longer you press down, the longer the wear time.  The pressure increases the bond of the adhesive tab.

 

5. REPEAT + ENJOY!

Repeat for the rest of your nails and enjoy the nail transformation!

 

A few tips to make them last even longer:

  • Try to avoid washing your hands for 30mins - 1hr afterwards. This gives the adhesive tabs time to fully bond.
  • You can warm up the adhesive tabs with a hair dryer to make them easier to apply 
  • Gently buffing your nails before the alcohol prep pad can majorly increase wear time
