Why are my Quick Press Mani nails not staying on?Updated 2 days ago

Here are a few common reasons:

  • Nails weren’t fully prepped (leftover oils, lotion, or moisture on the nail)
  • Nail size or fit isn’t quite right (too large or too small)
  • Hands got wet too soon after application (within the first hour)
  • Naturally oily nail beds or frequent handwashing
  • Exposure to heat, humidity, or prolonged moisture (saunas, steam rooms, long baths, or pools)
  • Nails were not pressed firmly enough or for long enough during application

What you can do:

  • Buff your nail bed thoroughly until no part of the surface is shiny.
  • Wipe your nails with the provided alcohol pad.
  • Avoid touching your nails with your fingers after wiping.
  • Apply the press-on nails immediately after prepping for the best hold.
  • Press each nail firmly for 10–15 seconds (up to 30 seconds for a stronger hold) to ensure even contact and help prevent air bubbles.
