Gather Your Supplies

First things first, let's make sure you have all the necessary supplies. In your Chipped set, you'll find:

  • your stylish press-on nails
  • Nail glue
  • Nail file
  • Cuticle pusher
  • Alcohol wipes

Prepare Your Nails

Before you can apply your press-on nails, you need to ensure your natural nails are ready. Start by cleaning your nails with an alcohol wipe. This will remove any oils or residue that could prevent the glue from adhering properly.

Next, use a nail file or buffer to gently roughen the surface of your natural nails. This will help the glue grip onto your nails better. Be careful not to file too aggressively, as you don't want to damage your natural nails.

If you have any long or uneven nails, you can use a nail clip to trim them down to a manageable length. Just be sure to leave enough of your natural nail exposed for the press-on to adhere to.

Apply the Glue

Now it's time to get to the good stuff – applying the glue! Squeeze a small amount of nail glue onto the back of the press-on nail. You don't need a lot, just a thin, even layer.

Carefully align the press-on nail with your natural nail, making sure it's centered and the edges line up. Press the nail firmly onto your natural nail, holding it in place for 30 seconds to a minute. This will allow the glue to fully adhere.

Repeat this process for each nail, taking care to ensure the press-on nails are properly aligned and securely in place.

Be careful not to leave a gap or air bubble to avoid water getting trapped under the nail.

Seal the Deal

Once all your press-on nails are applied, it's time to seal the deal. Use a cuticle pusher or your finger to gently push down on the edges of the press-on nails, ensuring they're firmly adhered to your natural nails.

If you notice any gaps or air bubbles, you can apply a small amount of additional glue to those areas and press the nail back down. This will help create a seamless, professional-looking finish.

Do not wash your hands for the next 30 mins, let the glue dry!
