How to Make Your Press-On Nails Last 3 Weeks
Two Methods for Applying Press-On Nails
Press-on nails are a great way to achieve a salon-quality manicure at home. However, they can be difficult to keep on for more than a few days. In this video, I'll show you two methods for applying press-on nails that will help them last for up to 3 weeks.
Method 1: Using Glue
The first method involves using nail glue to adhere the press-on nails to your natural nails. This is the most common method, and it can be effective if done correctly. However, it's important to use a high-quality nail glue that is specifically designed for press-on nails.
- Start by preparing your natural nails. This means filing them to your desired shape and pushing back your cuticles.
- Apply a thin layer of glue to the back of the press-on nail.
- Align the press-on nail with your natural nail and press down firmly.
- Hold the press-on nail in place for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the glue has dried.
Method 2: Using Adhesive Tabs
The second method involves using adhesive tabs to attach the press-on nails to your natural nails. This method is less permanent than using glue, but it's also less likely to damage your natural nails.
- Start by preparing your natural nails. This means filing them to your desired shape and pushing back your cuticles.
- Apply an adhesive tab to the back of the press-on nail.
- Align the press-on nail with your natural nail and press down firmly.
- Hold the press-on nail in place for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the adhesive has bonded.
No matter which method you choose, it's important to take care of your press-on nails to help them last. This means avoiding harsh chemicals, wearing gloves when doing dishes, and being careful not to pick at them.
