Application Directions

Follow steps 1-3, then select an application method: Glue, Adhesive Tabs, or Combination.

File each natural nail to scuff the surface.

STEP 1 | Trim & File

To prepare your natural nails, trim them down and file by scuffing the surface in an 'x' motion. This will strengthen the bond between your nails and the press ons.

Push Back Cuticles

STEP 2 | Cuticles

Gently push your cuticles back to create a clean edge.

Clear debris and oil off fingernails with alcohol wipe

STEP 3 | Alcohol Wipe

To remove debris and oil, use an alcohol wipe on your natural nails. For optimal results, also sanitize the underside of the press-on nails.

Proceed to Step 4 below.

Step 4 | Select one of the following application methods.

Combination (Wear for 1-3 weeks)

Step 4 | Apply Adhesives

4a. Peel the adhesive tab off the sheet.

4b. Press the tab firmly onto your natural nail with the pull-tab at the tip of your nail.

4c. Peel the protective layer off the adhesive tab.

4d. Repeat these steps for each fingernail.

Step 5 | Add Glue

5a. Apply a thin layer of glue to the top of the adhesive tab.

5b. Place the press on nail onto your nail and press firmly, hold for 15+ seconds.

5c. Wipe away any excess glue with a paper towel.

5d. Wait at least 2 hours before getting hands wet.

The combination of glue and adhesive tabs is our strongest application technique. The glue adheres the FancyB nails to your natural nails, reducing movement, which allows the adhesive tabs to remain strong for longer!
The nails will hold for 1-3 weeks, sometimes longer depending on care and application.

Glue (Wear for 1-2 weeks)

Step 4 | Glue

4a. Apply a dot of glue to the center of your natural nail (make sure it's enough to cover the entire surface of your nail when the press on is applied).

4b. Place the press on nail onto your nail and press firmly, hold for 15+ seconds.

4c. Wipe away any excess glue with a paper towel.

Wait at least 1 hour before getting hands wet.

Glue will hold for 1-2 weeks, sometimes longer depending on care and application.

Adhesive Tabs (Wear for 1-3 days)

Step 4 | Adhesive Tabs

4a. Peel the adhesive tab from the sheet.

4b. Place the tab firmly onto the natural nail with the pull-tab facing away from cuticle (forward).

4c. Peel the protective layer from the tab.

4d. Apply the press on nail firmly onto your natural nail, pressing on different areas of the nail until it is securely attached.

Wait at least 2 hours before getting hands wet.

Adhesive tabs will hold for 1-3 days, sometimes longer depending on care and application.
