Welcome, NailChances newcomers! In this detailed tutorial, we'll guide you through the three common methods of applying press-on nails. After this, you'll be a pro! 🔍💅
Method 1: Gummy Adhesive Tabs*Reusable*
- Choose gummy adhesive tabs slightly smaller than your natural nails.
- Apply the jelly adhesive from the center of the nail towards the edges. Thinner adhesive ensures a stronger bond.
- Use a hairdryer to heat the gummy adhesive, enhancing its stickiness.
- Press the nail at a 45-degree angle, pushing down and backward. Avoid leaving gaps between the nail edges and your natural nails. Press firmly, eliminating any air bubbles. Remember, apply significant pressure!
- Avoid water contact for the first 3 hours for a secure bond. ⚠️
Method 2: Solid nail gel glue*Reusable*
Solid Nail Gel Glue, also known as PVC solid glue, is a type of acrylic nail adhesive. Made from PVC material, natural resin, and a non-toxic formula, it stands out for its malleability, providing excellent flexibility during application compared to traditional liquid nail gels. This user-friendly characteristic ensures easy and precise placement on the nail tip. Solid gel glues, like the one used in our tutorial, offer a strong and durable bond when cured under a nail lamp, making them a popular choice for straightforward application with reliable results.
- Apply a peel-off base coat (optional but recommended for easy removal) and cure with a lamp for approximately 15 seconds.
- Take a small amount of solid glue, place it on the nail tip, and firmly press it onto the natural nail.
- Cure under the lamp for one minute, ensuring to rotate the finger to expose all angles. Note 🧐: Wear half-finger gloves during curing to prevent tanning!
Method 3: Quick-Drying Super glue*Non-reusable*
Caution: This potent adhesive, while quick-drying, is not easily removable, making press-on nails non-reusable. It can be harsh on nails if not removed carefully.
