Maximize Wear Time With These Tips

Press-on nails can last anywhere from a few days to two weeks depending on your application method and daily habits. Using high-quality glue and properly prepping your nails increases the staying power significantly. Avoiding water exposure and oily lotions in the first few hours after application also helps the glue bond better.

To extend their life, gently press each nail for 30-60 seconds during application. File the edges slightly to match your natural nail curve and prevent catching. You can also carry a small nail glue tube for touch-ups if needed. With the right technique, your press-ons can last through your entire week—and even longer.
