Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before diving into the application process, make sure you have the following items:

• Press-on nails of your choice


• Nail file


• Nail buffer


• Nail glue (if necessary)


• Cotton pads and nail polish remover (for removal)

Step 2: Prep Your Natural Nails

To ensure better adhesion and longevity, you must prepare your natural nails:

• Remove any existing nail polish.


• Shape your nails using a nail file.


• Gently buff your nails to create a slightly rough surface.


• Clean your nails with a cotton pad and a little nail polish remover to eliminate oils.

Step 3: Choose the Right Size

Finding the right size for your fake nails is crucial. Press-on nails typically come in various sizes. Test different ones on each finger until you find the perfect fit. A well-fitted nail will look more natural and stay on longer.

Step 4: Application Time!

If you're using press-on nails that require glue, apply a small amount on your natural nail or the fake nail itself. Press the fake nail onto your natural nail for about 10-15 seconds to ensure it adheres well. If you're using a brand like RainyRoses.com, the press-on nails are designed for an easy peel-and-stick application—simply align and press!

Step 5: Finishing Touches

After applying all your fake nails, feel free to add your favorite nail polish or topcoat to seal the look. Make sure to keep your nails moisturized to prevent any lifting.

Step 6: Removal

When you're ready to remove the fake nails, soak them in warm water with a bit of soap. Gently peel them off, and use nail polish remover and a cotton pad to clean your nails afterward. This will help keep your natural nails healthy and strong.
