💡 Pro Tips for Longer Lasting Wear

Preparation is Key: The buffing and cleansing steps are the most important for longevity. Never skip them.
Perfect the Fit: If a jelly tab is slightly too big, you can trim it with small scissors. It should never overflow onto your skin.
Expected Wear Time: With proper application, jelly tabs can securely hold press-on nails for several days up to a week or more, depending on your nail growth and daily activities.

🛠️ How to Remove Press-On Nails Safely

A major advantage of jelly glue is its easy, non-damaging removal:

Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes to soften the adhesive. (not indispensable)
Gently use an orange wood stick or a cuticle pusher to lift and remove the press-on nail from the sides.
The jelly tab will roll off easily. Clean any residue from your natural nails and the reusable press-on nails.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

Prep Your Natural Nails: 1. Wash and dry hands thoroughly. 2. Gently push back the cuticles. 3. Lightly buff the nail surface with a nail file to create a matte finish. 4. Wipe each nail with an alcohol prep pad to remove all oil and dust. Creates a clean, dry, and slightly rough surface for the strongest bond.
Select the Jelly Tab: 1. Choose a jelly glue tab that best matches the size of your natural nail. 2. It should cover most of the nail but leave a 1mm gap from the cuticles and sidewalls to prevent lifting. A properly sized tab ensures comfort, full coverage, and a longer hold.
Apply the Jelly Tab: 1. Peel the jelly tab off the plastic backing. 2. Center and press it onto your natural nail. 3. Firmly press and smooth it from the center to the edges to remove air bubbles. 4. (Optional Pro Tip) Warm the tab for 5-10 seconds with a hairdryer on low heat. This makes it softer and tackier. Ensures the tab is flat and bubble-free. Heat activation improves initial stickiness.
Apply the Press-on Nail: 1. Peel off the top protective film from the jelly tab. 2. Hold the press-on nail at a 45-degree angle. 3. Align the base with your cuticle, then gently slide and press it down onto the tab. 4. Apply firm, constant pressure for 20-30 seconds. The angle and pressure help the nail adhere completely without trapping air.
Aftercare: 1. Avoid submerging your nails in water for at least the first 2-3 hours. 2. For activities like washing dishes, wear gloves or dry hands promptly. Allows the adhesive to set fully. Keeping nails dry extends their wear time.
