Easy to Apply, Even Easier to Reuse

From application to removal to clean-up, here’s every step of the process to effortlessly reuse your Lilac St. press-on nails. 

Prep

Applying your press-on nails starts with a bit of prep, including buffing the surface of your nails to remove the shine and dehydrating them with an alcohol wipe. Choose the right fit for each of your nails before starting the application. 

Application

Apply a little glue to your natural nail and the underside of the press-on. Bring the press-on against your nail at a 45-degree angle, and press it down for 20 seconds. Repeat on all nails. This application technique can give you up to 10 days of wear. 

If you’re planning to wear your nails just for a few days, use adhesive tabs instead for easier removal and reusability. 

Pro tip: While applying, alternate hands and save your thumb and index finger for last. 

Careful Removal

Gentle removal is key for ensuring that your press-ons don’t get damaged and can still be reused later on. Fill a bowl with warm water, a few squeezes of dish soap, and some sort of oil. 

Soak your hands in the warm water for 15-20 minutes, and then use a cuticle stick to pry off the press-on nails. Do this gently to avoid scratching the press-ons. 

This method works best if you’ve been wearing your press-on nails for a while and the adhesive has already started weakening. There are a few other ways to remove press-on nails if this doesn’t work.

Dry & Buff

Once you’ve removed all press-on nails, dry your hands. Use a towel to dry off your press-on nails as well. 
Then, use a nail file to remove the dry excess adhesive both from your nails and from the inside of your press-on nails. You can fold your cardboard nail file (like the one that comes with your Lilac press-on kit) to more easily file away the adhesive from inside smaller press-on nails. 
If needed, dip a cotton swab in an acetone-based nail polish remover and use it to more easily break down the nail adhesive. Just be careful to only use the acetone on the underside of the press-on to avoid damaging the design. 

Keep Safe

Once you’ve buffed away most of the adhesive from your press-ons (it’s okay if a little is left behind), put them away. You can even use the container your press-ons initially came in. Store them away from heat and direct sunlight. 

Reuse Anytime

No matter how much time passes, reapply your press-on nails whenever you wish. Follow the exact same application process! Then, once you’re ready to remove your press-ons, do so carefully to ensure as many re-uses as possible.
