Press on the nails is right now, according to all the big beauty stores, big celebrities and big Insta-influencers. They have been hailed for their affordability, ease of application and ease of removal. Others love custom nail pressure because they can be filed to fit any nail shape.
But there’s more to push-on nails than their unique advantages. Before you grab them and walk out the door feeling great, there are a few things to consider. Here are 4 things you should know before applying press on nails.
- You need to find the right size and shape for you
Press on nails are only good if they match because if they don’t, they look terrible. Almost every nail press package comes with a set of nails for the whole hand. If they don’t fit you, you can always make custom nail pressure for yourself by shaping them with a blade.
To ensure proper fit, shape them only after applying them to the nail and not before.
- Always apply a base coat first before application
It’s a terrible idea to apply pressure nails directly to your cuticles. It is dangerous for your nails. Instead, apply a simple base coat to the surface of the nail for protection and strength, then apply the press to the nails.
- Glue-on nails are better than glue-on presses, say beauticians
Almost all nails sold today are pre-glued nails. If they are not, then their packages come with extra glue to adhere to the natural surface of the nail. This glue can be either plain glue or plain glue.
According to expert beauticians, glue is the best option for pressing your nails, if you need to do it. If you’re going to buy glue/adhesive from somewhere else, make sure it’s healthy for your nails and strong enough to keep your lovely press attached to the natural surface of the nail through thick and thin.
- You should first wet your fingers before removing
Applying a nail press is a breeze, as is removing it. Some people worry about the difficulty of removing them, but there is no serious reason to worry. However, it is not as easy as pulling the press from a nail.
Estheticians recommend first soaking your nails in warm water to melt the glue underneath, and then you can slowly remove the nail press. Next, you need to clean the remaining glue residue from your nails and dry them.
