BEFORE YOU APPLY
Test out each press-on you ordered per finger. You can use a nail file to customize the way they fit against the cuticle zone and along the nail folds without damaging the art.
Apply Your Set
Start on dry, short, natural nails.
Push back the nail fold around the entire nail perimeter. You can use a cuticle pusher or the rounded side of a nail file to push and exfoliate cuticle at the same time. When using a nail file, hold it parallel to the nail using light pressure to avoid damages.
Buff the surface of your nails to remove all shine. Focus around the perimeter to remove any visible or invisible cuticle from the nail plate.
Dehydrate and cleanse the nail surface with isopropyl alcohol or acetone. The higher the percentage of either, the better at dehydrated it will be. Avoid skin contact with your nails after this step. Skin has natural oils which can effect the adhesive.
Apply a sticky to each nail. The more coverage, the better.
Apply nail glue your nail and the press-on, working one at a time to ensure the glue doesn't dry. Use enough to cover your nail without leaking onto the skin.
Rub over the glue tab before removing the protective film. The warmth makes it more effective.
Apply at a 45º angle from cuticle to free edge and hold in place for 10 seconds. Use moderate pressure.
Apply your quickbeatz one by one.
Apply glue to the area that covers the nail bed on the press-on.
Apply at a 45º angle from cuticle to free edge and hold in place for 20 seconds. Use light pressure.
Tips for a Long Lasting Set
Longevity depends on prep work and using stickies vs nail glue; there are pros and cons to both. If you're looking to build a collection and bounce between eras, using stickies may be preferred because of less removal work and upkeep.
If appearance is major in your life yet time for other activities has priority, you may want to use nail glue so that you're always ready.
etch the underside that covers the nail bed to get an even longer lasting set. You can do this with 100% acetone and a small brush, an e-file, or a ceramic cuticle stick
give nails that have lost their spark a new life. Lightly buff and remove most of the shine. wipe away the debris then add a gel top coat and cure. You also can change a shiny nail to matte or vice versa.
Word around the press-on community: using both glue tabs and nail glue when applying can give lasting results
The mantra when using nail glue: more glue, less pressure.
Keep a small brush with 100% acetone around when using nail glue to clean any fallout on the skin or press-ons.
The longer you avoid contact with water the day you apply, the better.
Broke the tip? You can file and reshape it with no worries.
Remove Your Set
Soak your nails in a bowl of hot water, dish soap, your choice of oil, and isopropyl alcohol. Remove and dry hands after 10 minutes.
If your set was applied using glue tabs, gently rock the press-on side to side to loosen and remove. If stubborn, re-soak or add oil under the set to help them release.
If your set was applied using nail glue, you can apply bond remover where the press-on has lifted or a 70/30 mix of isopropyl alcohol and pure acetone. Use a cuticle stick to assist gently working the nail off. If stubborn, apply more and allow it set before trying to remove. Patience will help avoid damage to the natural nail.
Use acetone and/or a buffer to remove any remaining adhesive from your nail plate.
Dry your quickbeatz and clear the underside of any remaining adhesive. Place them in air-tight storage for next use.
Thoroughly wash hands. Apply hand cream and cuticle products while hands are lightly damp to complete.
