How To Apply
1
Trim & Push
Trim and shape your natural nails, gently push back the cuticles, and remove any dead skin around the edges.
2
Buffing Nails
Lightly buff the nail surface until it becomes matte. This step is to increase the grip of the adhesive later.
3
Wipe & Cleanse
Wipe each nail with an alcohol pad to cleanse and ensure the surface is completely dry before application.
4
Choosing the Right Adhesive
Pick one method that matches your wear goals (quick change vs. long hold) and follow the instructions shown in the image.
5
Apply Adhesive
Choose a glue tab that fits, ideally a little smaller than your actual nail tip; stick it on 1–2 mm away from the cuticle. Repeat for 10 nails. Or apply a very thin layer of nail glue.
6
Press & Firm
Smooth the tab by pressing from the center outward to the edges. Make sure the tab covers as much surface area as possible. Peel the film when you’re ready for the next step.
If you used nail glue, you can skip this step.
7
Push&Hold
Place the tip at ~45° near the cuticle, rock it down toward the tip, then nudge it back to seat at the cuticle and press for 30-60 secs. If using UV-LOCK™ Jelly Tabs, cure each nail under the Glowi UV light for about 60 seconds.
Start with your pinkie and finish with your thumb. Avoid water contact for at least 2 hours for best results.
8
Gentle Removal
Removal & after-care matter for rewear.
Work slowly—never force a lift. If a nail resists, pause and re-soften, then continue. After they’re off, cleanse any residue, lightly buff, and nourish with cuticle oil or hand cream. Wipe the press-ons clean, let them dry, and store them by size so they’re ready for your next wear.
