How to apply your press-on nails - Tips and tricks

Press-on nails are the ideal solution for anyone dreaming 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-worthy result, it's essential to properly prepare your nails and apply your press-on nails with care.
Complete guide for a perfect press-on nail 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 lukewarm water and soap, then dry them thoroughly.
Then wipe with an alcohol wipe (included in every Venuza Nails kit) to remove any traces of oil or cream.
👉 This step ensures better adhesion of the glue or gel pads.
Step 2: Push back cuticles
Using the supplied cuticle pusher, gently push back your cuticles to free up the nail surface.
This allows the press-on nails to sit perfectly without creating air bubbles.
Step 3: Buff the surface
💎 Venuza Nails Tip: Very lightly buff your natural nails with a buffer to make them matte and gripping.
Be careful not to damage them: a light pass is enough.
2. Choose the right nail size
Each Venuza Nails kit contains 30 capsules of all sizes included x3, so that every nail finds its perfect fit.
Test the nails before application to choose those that best fit your nail plate.
Never force a nail that is too small: it might 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 application 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 nail and press 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 nail.
Place the nail starting from the base towards the free edge, then press for 20 to 30 seconds.
Result: a strong, shiny, and elegant manicure, ready to shine for several days 💅
4. Finishing and maintenance
Once your press-on nails are applied.
Avoid hot water for the first few hours.
💎 Venuza Nails Tip: To extend their lifespan, clean your nails after removal with a disinfectant wipe and store them in their original box.
5. Remove your glued-on press-on nails without damaging your natural nails
For gentle and pain-free removal:
Soak your fingers for 10 minutes in warm, soapy water.
Gently slide a cuticle stick under the nail to lift it off.
Clean your natural nails and moisturize them.
This way, your press-on nails will remain in perfect condition for future use 💖
