Step 1: Prep Your Natural Nails
- Start by removing any existing nail polish using a nail polish remover.
- Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles, creating a clean canvas for the false nails to adhere to.
- If your natural nails are too long, file them down before applying your press ons.
- Use an alcohol wipe or some nail varnish remover to clean your nails and remove any excess oil. This will help to make your false nails last longer.
Step 2: Select Your False Nails
- Each of our Loste false nails has a number on the top so that you can pick the correct size for each of your fingers.
- Starting with your thumb try on the falsies and lay out the sizes that fit each of your fingers.
- A top tip for finding the right size; the false nail should cover the whole of your natural nail but shouldn't cover your skin.
Step 3: Apply the False Nails
1. Apply an even coat of nail glue to your nail and the back of the false nail.
2. Take the false nail and at a 45° angle place it against your cuticle.
3. Push the false nail down onto your natural nail and pinch it in place for 15 seconds.
4. Remove any excess glue from the edges of the nail if necessary.
5. Repeat the process until you have applied all of your nails.
6. File the edges of your new false nails until you are happy with the length and shape.
How to make your false nails last longer:
1. Make sure your fake nails are clean before applying your false nails.
2. Make sure when you apply your fake nails that you use a generous amount of glue and hold the nail in place for 15 seconds.
3. Wear gloves while washing up and avoid washing your hands in very hot water as this can also weaken the false nail glue.
4. Don't use them as tools! Opening cans for example will put pressure on your false nails that could loosen the glue.
5. If a false nail starts to lift, gently reapply some nail glue or an adhesive tab to secure it back in place.
