Tired of your press-on nails peeling off after just a few days? You’re not alone! With proper care, Yukiss high-quality press-ons can last up to 2 weeks– and we’ll show you exactly how. Let’s dive into the secrets!” (*According to Nail Journal 2023, proper prep can extend wear time by 70%.*)
Tip 1: Prep Your Natural Nails Like a Pro
- Step 1:Gently push the nail epithelium
Use a cuticle pusher to gently clean the nail bed – this helps the adhesive grip better.
- Step 2:Buff the nail surface
Lightly buff nails with a 180-grit file (avoid over-filing!).
- Step 3:Alcohol Cleaning
Wipe nails with an alcohol pad to remove oils – skip lotions before application!
Tip 2: Choose the Right Adhesive
- Water-based glue vs Jelly glue
Water-based glue is ideal for 7-10 days wear, while jelly tabs are perfect for 3-5 days (and gentler on nails!).
Tip 3: Apply with Precision
- Pressing Technique:
Press from cuticle to tip for 15 seconds – use a microfiber cloth to avoid fingerprints!
- Overflow glue treatment:
Dip a toothpick in acetone to clean excess glue instantly.
Tip 4: Avoid Water for 1 Hour
- Wait at least 60 minutes before washing hands or showering – water weakens fresh glue bonds.
Tip 5: Daily Maintenance Routine
- Edge Care:
Apply cuticle oil around the edges daily to prevent lifting.
- Avoid violent use:
Wear gloves when washing dishes or gardening!
Tip 6: Remove Them Safely
- Non-destructive nail removal:
Soak nails in warm soapy water for 10 mins, then gently slide off with an orange stick. Never peel forcefully!
Tip 7: Store Properly for Reuse
- Storage Tips:
Place used nails in our [Reusable Storage Case](产品URL), label them with designs for easy matching!
Tip 8: Refresh the Look
- Color repair:
Use a thin layer of clear top coat every 5 days to revive shine and prevent chipping.
