1. Prepare your nails well before applying them

Nail preparation is essential to ensure perfect adhesion.

  • Clean your nails with acetone-free nail polish remover to remove any traces of grease.
  • Lightly file the surface for better adhesion.
  • Push back your cuticles to prevent the nail sticker from lifting.
  • Dry your hands thoroughly before applying nails.

Pro tip : Wipe your nails with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol before applying the nail polish to remove any moisture.


2. Choose and apply your self-adhesive nails correctly

Application technique plays a key role in the longevity of your manicure.

  • Select the correct size to avoid any peeling at the sides.
  • Apply from bottom to top , pressing firmly over the entire surface.
  • Press firmly for 30 seconds for optimal fixation.
  • Avoid contact with water for the first hour after installation.

Pro tip : Lightly warm the nail sticker between your fingers before applying it to strengthen the adhesion.


3. Tips to prolong the life of self-adhesive nails

A few simple actions can make all the difference!

  • Apply a layer of clear top coat for added protection.

  • Use cuticle oil to moisturize and prevent peeling.

Pro tip : If a nail starts to peel, use a drop of nail glue to extend its hold.
