Everything you need to know about press-ons!
♥ Everything you need to know about press-ons! ♥
Are you new to the world of press-ons? Or just curious? Don't panic, you're in the right place. Here, I'll explain everything: how they work, why they're so cool, and most importantly, how to apply them, remove them, and love them (hard). Take a break, a tea, a coffee, and let me show you why your nails will love this new trend.
♥ Why choose press-ons? ♥
Because sometimes, you just want a great manicure without spending three hours, without blowing your budget, and most importantly... without having to stick to it for three weeks.
Press-ons are the new, free, and uninhibited manicure. You put them on whenever you want, you take them off in 5 minutes, and you can change your style just like you change your vibe. A dark romantic day, a pastel floral day? No problem. And the bonus is that they're reusable. So not only are they more eco-friendly , but they're also much cheaper in the long run than having your nails redone at the salon every month.
Think of them as accessories . Like a pair of earrings or a bright red lipstick: you wear them when you want to, you take them off when you're done shining. They match your mood, your outfit, your world. And most importantly: they belong to you.
You can apply them with adhesive pads—convenient, clean, and perfect for preserving your precious capsules. But if you prefer a longer hold, you can also use glue. Just keep in mind that glue can damage the capsules and render them unusable if you don't remove them properly.
Ultimately, each capsule is a chapter. And you alone decide when the story begins, and ends...
♥ How to take your measurements? ♥
No need for professional equipment, just a little tape, a ruler, and your pretty hand. In 4 simple steps, you can find your perfect fit like a queen!
-
Put down the tape
Place a small piece of tape on your natural nail, making sure to cover the entire width of the nail.
-
Trace the edges
Using a thin pen, mark both ends of your nail directly on the tape.
-
Measure
Carefully peel off the tape and stick it on a ruler or tape measure. Read the distance between the two lines (in mm), and note the measurement of each finger.
-
Check your correspondence
Enter your measurements in the size guide to find yours. If none of the standard sizes match yours, don't panic! You can send me your list so I can create a 100% custom-made set for you!
♥ How to properly prepare your nails? ♥
-
Wash your hands
Yes, we start simple. Warm water, soap, and remove all traces of cream or grease!
-
Pushes back cuticles
Use the provided cuticle pusher to clear the base of your nail. This is important to help your application last longer!
-
Mattify your nails
Using the buffer provided in the kit, gently file the surface to remove the natural shine. Nothing harsh, just to make the pad adhere better!
-
Degreases
A little cotton ball with a little alcohol (or a wipe) and that's it!
♥ How to apply your press-ons correctly? ♥
-
Choose the right size pad for each nail
Each nail should cover your natural nail without going over the edge. It's better to be a little smaller than too big.
-
Glue the pad to your natural nail
Place it well centered, then press for 30 seconds to ensure maximum adhesion.
-
Remove the protective film
Easy to take off, and we move on to the final step!
-
Apply your capsule
Align the base well, press firmly for 30 seconds on each nail, and admire the result!
♥ How to properly remove your press-ons? ♥
-
Remove the capsule gently
Still using the cuticle pusher, remove the adhesive pad left on the nail.
-
Store your press-ons in their box
So you can reuse them later — a Kapsule is not something you throw away!
-
Wash your hands
A quick rinse with soap and water, and you're ready for a new pose whenever you want!
