Stop The Snap! How to Make Your Press-Ons Last 2 Weeks (And The Starter Styles That Stick!)




STOP THE DRAMA! 😭 Press-Ons Keep Falling Off? Here’s the Fix.


Welcome to the world of efficient beauty! If you’ve heard press-on nails fall off easily, we’re here to debunk that myth. With the right technique and the right style choice, your TipGlazer "Soft Armor" can easily last up to 2 weeks!


We’ll show you the crucial prep steps AND the best styles to start with for maximum longevity.


 

 

Part 1: The Secret to 2-Week Wear 🔑 (Prep is Everything!)

Longevity isn't luck—it's preparation. Follow these simple steps for a bond that lasts:

 

 

  • 1. Buff It Out:

    Gently buff your natural nail surface. This is vital! A smooth surface makes it hard for the adhesive to grip. (Buffing creates the texture needed for a strong bond.)

  • Tip: Don’t skip this! 🚫

 

  • 2. Cleanse and Dehydrate: 

Use an alcohol pad or acetone to wipe away ALL natural oils and residue. Oil is the enemy of adhesion!

  • Tip: Your nail should feel completely dry and matte. 💧

 

 

 

 

  • 3. Press Right:

Apply a generous amount of glue (or use our medical-grade gel tabs) and press the nail on firmly for at least 30 seconds.

 

  • Tip: Avoid water for the first hour after application! 🚿

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2: Beginner Styles That Maximize Longevity ✨

When you're new to press-ons, some shapes and styles are less prone to snagging and lift. Start here for the best chance at 2-week wear!

 

⚪Round & Squoval Shapes

  • Longevity Tip: Choose these short to medium lengths!

  • Why It Sticks?: Their curved edges and minimal length make them less likely to catch on clothing or keyboards. The strongest foundation! 💪

 

 



🥇 Classic Solid Colors

  • Longevity Tip: Keep it simple and thin for your first set.

  • Why It Sticks?: Simple colors and designs often mean the thinnest, most flexible application, which conforms better to the natural nail curve.

 

 



💅 French Manicure

  • Longevity Tip: The clean look naturally minimizes visual wear-and-tear.

  • Why It Sticks?: The contrast line can hide minor edge wear, keeping the set looking polished and new for longer.
