How to apply Press on Nails?
You can use liquid glue or gel tabs, both provided in the application kit, with the Press on Nails.
To wear nails for a few hours or 1-2 days, use gel tabs.
If you want a long-lasting hold, use liquid glue.
You must first prepare your natural nail, to do this follow these steps:
(With liquid glue)
1. Cut or file your nails short
2. Push back your cuticles with the wooden cuticle pusher
3. Buff the surface of your nail using circular motions using the mini buffer block
4. Wipe your nails with the alcohol wipes (let dry for a few seconds)
5. Place a dot of glue in the center of your nails and slightly at the base of your Press on Nail.
6. Tilt your Press on Nail and place it straight and aligned with your cuticle line.
7. Press the false nail onto your nail for 30 seconds.
*If you get glue on your skin, wipe it off immediately.
(With gel tabs)
1. Cut or file your nails short
2. Make a selection of gel tabs that match your size (the gel tab should cover the surface of your nail without touching your cuticles or skin. If the gel tab is too big, do not hesitate to cut it).
3. Push back your cuticles with the wooden cuticle pusher
4. Buff the surface of your nail using circular motions using the mini buffer block
5. Wipe your nails with the alcohol wipes (let dry for a few seconds)
6. Remove the gel tab from its sheet and stick it on your nail. Press and rub it to warm it slightly so that it adheres well.
7. Remove the transparent film from the gel tab.
8. Press the false nail onto your nail for 15 seconds.
Tip: Avoid putting your nails under water for a few hours to allow time for the glue to dry completely.
How to remove Press on Nails?
To avoid damaging the Press on Nails and to be able to reuse them endlessly, it is important to remove them carefully and gently.
Step 1: Prepare a bowl of hot water with soap and a little olive oil.
Step 2: Soak your fingers in water for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Pass the wooden cuticle pusher under the false nail, on each side and push gently to detach the false nail (if there is resistance, re-soak your nails in water for 5 minutes) .
Step 4: Remove excess glue from your nails and underneath the false nails using the mini nail file (rub gently) .
Step 5: Apply cuticle oil and store your false nails away from the sun.
How to avoid breaking Press on Nails?
I use quality products to prevent the Press on Nails from breaking. But it can happen. If this is the case, you can request one or more replacement nails by email: contact@minupress.com.
In the email specify:
- Your original order number
- Your name
- The name of the set (eg: Dio Set)
- The size and shape ordered (eg: Medium Almond)
- The finger and your size (eg: thumb 15 mm - middle finger 12 mm)
Note that if you need more than 4 replacement nails per set, it is best to order a new set.
What's in a Press on Nails package?
- 10 personalized handmade false nails
- A complete installation kit (cuticle pusher, mini nail file, mini polishing block, alcohol wipes, liquid glue, gel tabs)
- A mini installation and removal guide
From 2 sets ordered, you are entitled to a free cuticle oil (depending on available stocks).
Are Press on Nails reusable?
Yes! By removing the Press on Nails carefully, you can reuse them without any problem.
If you notice any glue residue on the back of a false nail, you can gently buff it with the mini buffer block or nail file to remove the glue residue.
What are Press on Nails made of?
I use gel polish from Korea or Japan to create the Press on Nails because they are known for their quality and durability.
The capsules come from Aprés Nail.
Do you sell internationally?
I offer delivery to France and Europe only at the moment, for delivery cost reasons.

Allow 5-14 days to create each set and ship the package.
Delivery time, once the package has been shipped, varies depending on the carrier chosen and your location. ☺️
