HOW TO APPLY YOUR PRETTY PRESSED NAILS

A flawless press starts with proper prep. Follow these steps for a beautiful application while helping protect your natural nails and preserve your Pretty Pressed set for future wear. 💅

1. START WITH CLEAN NAILS

Remove any previously applied nail product. Wash and thoroughly dry your hands.

2. PREP YOUR NAILS

Gently push back your cuticles with a cuticle stick.

Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails to remove shine.

3. CLEAN & DEHYDRATE

Wipe each natural nail with an alcohol prep pad to remove oil, dust, and residue.

Allow your nails to dry completely.

4. APPLY YOUR PEEL-OFF BASE COAT

Apply a thin, even layer of peel-off base coat to each natural nail.

Allow the base coat to dry completely before moving on to your press-on application.

† The peel-off base coat is optional and may be skipped. It is recommended for customers who want easier removal and may help preserve their Pretty Pressed set for future wear. Skipping the peel-off base coat may result in a stronger adhesive bond and could make removal more difficult. Always remove press-ons gently and never force them from the natural nail.

5. APPLY YOUR NAIL GLUE

Working one nail at a time, apply your nail adhesive according to its directions.

Avoid getting adhesive on your skin or cuticles.

6. PRESS & HOLD

Align your Pretty Pressed nail with your cuticle line and make sure the nail is straight.

Press firmly into place and hold for approximately 15–20 seconds, or according to your adhesive's directions.

Repeat until your set is complete.

PRESS. SLAY. REPEAT. 💅

You're officially Pretty Pressed.

HOW TO REMOVE & CARE FOR YOUR SET

Your Pretty Pressed nails are designed to be treated with care. Proper removal can help protect both your natural nails and your press-on set for another wear.

1. SOAK

Soak your nails in warm, soapy water to begin loosening the application.

Be patient—don't pull or force the press-ons off.

2. GENTLY RELEASE

Once the edges begin to loosen, gently work around the press-on with a cuticle stick.

Start at the area with the least resistance.

If the nail doesn't release easily, soak again. Never force it.

3. REMOVE THE BASE COAT

After your press-ons have been removed, gently remove any remaining peel-off base coat from your natural nails.

Wash and dry your hands, then moisturize your nails and cuticles.

4. SAVE YOUR SET 💅

Set your removed Pretty Pressed nails aside and clean them according to the care instructions provided with your set.

Once they're clean and completely dry, store them safely for your next wear.
