How to Apply Press-On Nails

Want salon-quality nails in minutes without the price tag or appointment? Press-on nails are your new best friend. At Poshmellow, we believe beauty should be easy, affordable, and fun — and that includes your nails. If you're new to press-ons or just want your mani to last longer, here’s a step-by-step guide to nailing your at-home application.

What You’ll Need:

• A set of Poshmellow press-on nails

• Nail glue or adhesive tabs (most sets include both!)

• Nail buffer

• Cuticle pusher

• Alcohol wipe or nail cleanser
   

How to Apply Press-On Nails – Step by Step

Step 1: Clean & Prep Your Natural Nails

Start with clean, dry hands. Remove any old polish, push back your cuticles, and lightly buff the surface of your nails. Wipe each nail with an alcohol pad to remove oils. Proper prep helps your press-ons last longer.

Step 2: Size the Nails

Match each press-on nail to your natural nail. If needed, file the sides for a perfect fit. Our press-on nail kits come with multiple design and colors to suit every hand.

Step 3: Apply Adhesive

Use nail glue for a long-lasting hold (up to 2 weeks), or adhesive tabs for temporary wear (1–3 days). Apply a small drop of glue to both your natural nail and the back of the press-on.

Step 4: Press & Hold

Align the press-on with your cuticle, then press firmly for 10–15 seconds. Make sure there are no air bubbles underneath.

Step 5: Shape & Go

Once all nails are applied, shape them if needed using a nail file. Then you’re done — perfect nails in minutes!
