How to apply your press-on nails like a pro
Press-on nails are the ideal solution for anyone who dreams of a flawless manicure in minutes , without a salon appointment.
At Venuza Nails , each set is designed to combine elegance, comfort and durability , while allowing you to change your style at will.
But to achieve a salon-quality result, it is essential to properly prepare your nails and carefully apply your press-on nails .
Here's our complete guide for a perfect, quick, and foolproof application ✨
1. Prepare your natural nails
First and foremost, take the time to properly prepare your nails — this is the key to long-lasting wear.
Step 1: Clean and degrease
Wash your hands with warm water and soap, then dry them thoroughly.
Next, use an alcohol wipe (included in each Venuza Nails kit) to remove any traces of oil or cream.
👉 This step ensures better adhesion of the glue or adhesive gels.
Step 2: Push back the cuticles
Using the provided cuticle pusher , gently push back your cuticles to free the surface of the nail.
This allows the press-on nails to be placed perfectly without creating air bubbles.
Step 3: Mattify the surface
Lightly buff your natural nails to make them matte and eye-catching .
Be careful not to damage them: a light touch is enough.
2. Choose the correct capsule size
Each Venuza Nails kit contains several sizes of nail tips , so that each nail can find its perfect shape.
Test the nail tips before applying them to choose the ones that best fit your nail plate.
If the capsule is a little too wide, lightly file the edges for a perfect fit.
Never force a capsule that is too small: it may come off prematurely.
💎 Venuza Nails Tip : Store your favorite sizes for the next application — our press-on nails are reusable !
3. Apply the press-on nails
You can choose between two types of installation depending on your needs:
Temporary application (1 to 5 days)
Use the included adhesive gel pads:
Remove the protective film.
Place the gel pad in the center of your nail.
Position the capsule by pressing firmly for 10 to 15 seconds.
👉 Perfect for a weekend, a photoshoot or an event!
Long-lasting application (up to 3 weeks)
Use the included professional glue.
Apply a thin drop of glue to your natural nail.
Add a very thin layer inside the capsule.
Place the capsule from the base towards the free edge, then press for 20 to 30 seconds.
The result: a strong, shiny and elegant manicure, ready to shine for several days 💅
4. Finishes and maintenance
Once your press-on nails are in place.
Avoid hot water for the first few hours.
Apply cuticle oil from time to time to nourish them.
💡 Quick tip: To prolong their lifespan, clean your capsules after removal with a soft wipe and store them in their original box.
5. Remove your press-on nails applied with glue without damaging your nails
For a gentle and painless removal:
Soak your fingers for 10 minutes in warm soapy water.
Gently slide a stick under the capsule to detach it.
Clean and moisturize your natural nails.
This way, your press-on nails will remain in perfect condition for future use 💖
