10 Tips to Make Your Press-On Nails Last Longer

10 Tips to Make Your Press-On Nails Last Longer

At Jeauxette Beauty, we believe every nail should be a masterpiece that lasts!  Whether you’re rocking our premium press-on nails or experimenting with DIY styles, these tips will ensure your nails stay flawless for days (or even weeks!). Say goodbye to lifting, chipping, and falling off too soon—here’s how to make your press-on nails last longer.


1. Start with a Clean Canvas

Before applying your press-ons, make sure your nails are completely clean and free of oils or residue. Use an alcohol pad or acetone to wipe each nail thoroughly. A clean base ensures the adhesive sticks better and lasts longer.


2. Push Back Your Cuticles

Gently push back your cuticles to create more space for the press-ons to adhere. This step prevents lifting and gives your nails a professional, salon-like finish.


3. Buff Your Natural Nails

Lightly buff your nails to create a slightly rough surface. This helps the adhesive bond more securely to your natural nail. Be careful not to over-buff—just enough to remove shine.


4. Size Your Nails Correctly

Choose press-ons that fit your natural nail width. Nails that are too small or too large are more likely to lift. At Jeauxette Beauty, our nails come in a variety of sizes for the perfect fit.


5. Use the Right Adhesive

For the best hold, pair your press-ons with a high-quality nail adhesive, like our Brush on nail glue. Apply a thin, even layer to your natural nail and the back of the press-on for maximum grip.


6. Apply with Precision

Align the press-on nail carefully with your cuticle, starting from the base and pressing down firmly toward the tip. Hold it in place for 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond.


7. Avoid Water for the First Hour

Water can weaken the adhesive tabs / nail glue especially right after application. Wait at least an hour before washing your hands, showering, or doing dishes.


8. Protect Your Nails

If you frequently use your hands, wear gloves for tasks like cleaning or gardening. Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans or scratch surfaces.


9. Reapply Adhesive When Needed

If you notice a corner lifting, apply a small amount of nail glue underneath and press the nail down again. This quick fix can extend the life of your press-ons.


10. Remove Gently

When it’s time to remove your nails, use a gentle Press-on nail remover like to soften the adhesive. Avoid forceful pulling, as it can damage your natural nails.
