What is how to keep press on nails from popping off?

  1. Cleaning your nails: Before you apply press-on nails, make sure your natural nails are clean and dry. Wipe your nails with acetone or alcohol to remove any oils or residues that may affect the adhesive.

  2. Proper nail prep: File your nails and buff the surface to create a rough texture to help the adhesive stick better.

  3. Adhesive application: Apply a thin layer of nail glue or adhesive to your natural nail and then apply the press-on nail firmly. Make sure the adhesive covers the entire surface of your natural nail and the press-on nail.

  4. Avoid water: Keep your new press-on nails dry for at least two hours after application. Avoid hot showers, washing dishes, or any water activity for a few hours after applying your press-on nails.

  5. Don’t use hand sanitizers often: Hand sanitizers contain alcohol, which can dry out the glue and cause the press-on nails to detach.

  6. Avoid touching hot objects: Avoid touching hot objects like pans, ovens, or boiling water. The excessive heat can loosen the adhesive on the press-on nails.

  7. Remove them carefully: When removing press-on nails, do not pull or force them off your natural nails. Use a nail polish remover formulated for acrylic nails and soak your nails for 10 to 15 minutes before gently removing them.

With these tips, you can keep your press-on nails looking good for longer and avoid them popping off unexpectedly.
