Nail Application Directions

Steps 1-3: Nail Prep

Nail prep is the most important part of press on nail application. | Also see pro application tips at the bottom of the page.

Step 1: File Your Nails

Trim your natural nails down.

File each natural nail to scuff the surface. This strengthens the bond between your natural nails and the FancyB nails.

Step 2: Push Back Cuticles

Once filed, gently push your cuticles back to create a clean edge.

Step 3: Clean Your Nails

Use an alcohol wipe to remove any debris and oil from your natural nails.

For the best results, also wipe the underside of the press-on nails.

Step 4: Attaching the Nails

(Choose from one of the following methods)

COMBINATION (Lasts 1-3 weeks) | GLUE (Lasts 1-2 weeks) | ADHESIVE TABS (Lasts 1-5 days)

Combination Method | Applying with Glue & Adhesive Tabs

1. Peel the adhesive tab from the sheet.

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

3. Peel the protective layer off the adhesive tab.

4. Apply a small dot of glue to the surface of the adhesive tab and spread it around the entire surface of the tab. (it helps to get a small amount of glue around the edges of the adhesive tab to seal it in.)

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

6. Wipe away any excess glue with a paper towel.

7. 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.

Applying with Glue

1. Apply a small dot of glue to the center of your natural nail.

2. Place the FancyB nail onto your natural nail and press firmly, hold for 15+ seconds.

3. Wipe away any excess glue with a paper towel.

4. Wait at least 1 hour before getting hands wet.

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

Applying with Adhesive Tabs

1. Peel the adhesive tab from the sheet.

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

3. Peel the protective layer from the tab.

4. Press the FancyB nail firmly onto your natural nail, pressing on different areas of the nail until it is firmly attached.

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

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

Pro Application Tips

Seamless Bond | Combination Method

To have zero cuticle gap between your natural nail and the false nail.

More Application Tips

Common Application Mistake | Never use cuticle oil before, during, or after application.

Cuticle oil weakens adhesives and glues. It is recommended you apply a cuticle balm not an oil.

Glue Dry Time Tip | Many times, nails pop off early due to the glue not being completely dry.

To check if the glue is dry, first hold down firmly for 15 seconds. As you lift, watch to see if the excess glue around the edges gets sucked back under the nail, if it does, press down for longer. When you press down again, check for air bubbles in the excess glue. If you see air bubbles, the glue is not dry. Repeat the process of holding down and lifting until there are no bubbles and the excess glue doesn't move. Wipe away excess glue.

A Strong Bond | Prep is the most important part of nail longevity.

When filing the natural nail, make sure you file enough so the entire surface is rough. File in an 'x' motion moving one direction then the opposite. The more 'texture' you create on your nail, the stronger the bond will be. If the adhesive tabs and glue don't have enough texture to grab onto, they will pop off easily. After filing make sure to remove all dirt and oils with the alcohol wipes.
