Application
1. Wash hands and in particular finger nails with warm soapy water ensuring they are thoroughly rinsed and dry 1hr prior to application.
.
2. Push back each cuticle with the included cuticle stick. Using the included nail file (soft side), shape your natural nails and give them a light buff. When shaping your nails, we recommend making them more curved than the Luxtrés Press-On gel nail to ensure they won’t be seen beneath. Remove all excess debris and oils from nails using the included alcohol pad.
.
3. Decide which Luxtrés Premium Press-On gel nail fits each individual finger nail. If your Luxtrés nail goes past the edge of your natural nail bed it is too big and will reduce the strength of the glue. A size too small will expose the natural nail beneath, compromising the look and may also be uncomfortable. If you can’t find the perfect size, choose a size which is larger and use the included file to custom the size of your Luxtrés Premium Press-On gel nail. Use the nail saver inside the box to keep track.

4. Select Adhesive
- Adhesive tabs: 2-4 days
Choose a tab which covers your entire natural nail. Attach to your natural nail. Using the included cuticle stick, smooth tab down to ensure a firm fit with no air bubbles, peel off protective film and attach as per instructions below. For an even more firm attachment, you might like to add a small dot of nail glue between the adhesive tab and the Luxtrés Press-On gel nail.
- Liquid nail glue: 10+ days
Apply a small, even layer of nail glue to your natural nail and a small drop to the
Luxtrés Premium Press-On gel nail. Wait 10-20 seconds for the glue to begin to cure, then, hold the base of the Luxtrés Press-On gel nail to your natural nail at a 45 degree angle. Press down firmly from base to tip and hold firmly in place for 20-30 seconds.
.
5. Avoid water for at least 1 hour post application. Applying before bed will give the glue plenty of time to set and help with a lasting finish. Always limit water submersion where possible (using water proof gloves will provide extra protection).
