False nails have come a long way from one-night glam.
With the right application and aftercare, your Bling Art press-ons can stay flawless for up to 10 days or more chip-free, glossy, and camera-ready.
If you’ve ever had nails pop off too soon or lose their shine, this guide is for you.

💎 Why Care and Preparation Matter

Even the best false nails rely on a good foundation.
Your natural nails act as the canvas, and any oil, moisture, or uneven surface can weaken the glue bond.
The key to long-lasting nails is in the prep, the placement, and the protection that follows.

Let’s go step by step.

🧴 Step 1: Prep Like a Pro

Clean & Dry

Wash your hands with soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly.
Avoid lotions or oils before application they can prevent glue from bonding properly.

Push Back Cuticles

Gently push cuticles back with the included stick.
This creates a clean edge for a snug fit and helps the nail sit flush to your natural surface.

Buff & Shape

Lightly buff your natural nail using the mini file included in every Bling Art set.
This removes shine and gives the glue something to grip.

💡 Pro Tip: Wipe nails with an alcohol pad (or a little nail polish remover) before applying. It removes invisible oils for a longer hold.

💅 Step 2: Apply with Precision

Choose the Right Size

Lay out the nails before applying. Each should fit side-to-side without overlapping the skin.
If between sizes, choose slightly smaller it looks more natural and stays firmer.

Glue Application

Apply a small drop of glue to your natural nail and a tiny amount to the back of the false nail.
Press firmly for 15–20 seconds with even pressure.

💡 Avoid air bubbles! They can reduce hold and cause lifting around the edges.

🪞 Step 3: Set and Seal

Once applied, avoid getting nails wet for at least 1 hour.
This allows the adhesive to fully cure and bond.

After that, you’re ready to go just treat your hands with gentle care, as you would after any manicure.

💅 Step 4: Smart Everyday Maintenance

1. Avoid Excessive Water

Soaking your hands weakens the glue.
Wear gloves when washing dishes or using cleaning products.

2. Be Gentle

Avoid using your nails to open cans, peel stickers, or pick at surfaces.
Use the pads of your fingers instead.

3. Hydrate Hands Not Nails

Use hand cream sparingly around the nail bed.
Avoid oil-based lotions that might seep under the press-on edges.

4. Keep a Mini Glue Handy

If a nail loosens, a quick dab of glue can reattach it instantly no need for a full replacement.

💅 Step 5: Removal Without Damage

When you’re ready for a new set, never force or rip them off.
Instead:

1. Soak nails in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes.

2. Gently lift from the sides with a cuticle stick.

3. Repeat soaking if resistance remains patience prevents damage.

4. Buff natural nails lightly to restore smoothness.

💡 Tip: Save your nails for reuse! Bling Art press-ons can be worn multiple times if removed gently and cleaned properly.

🧴 Step 6: Store & Reuse Properly

Once removed:

• Wipe clean with alcohol or nail polish remover.

• Place back in the Bling Art tray to maintain shape.

• Store away from heat or sunlight.

Reusable press-ons make your investment go further and let you switch styles for every occasion.
