Remember: a detailed prep will ensure your press-on nails last long, Bustle added. So, after prep is completed, you can either add the sticky tape — what comes inside the press-on nail package — or a dab of nail glue. Celebrity nail artist and KISS brand ambassador Gina Edwards told Harper's Bazaar that applying both the sticky tape and glue will keep your nails for at least 10 days.
Bustle, on the other hand, encouraged applying a base coat before the glue as the coat will not only protect your natural nails, but prolong the press-on nails' longevity. In our opinion, why not do both procedures?
The next important process in the application is how you're putting on your nails. You can't just slap them on your nail beds and expect them to stay. No, there's a certain art. Per Harper's Bazaar, apply the nails at a downward angle. Then, go ahead and file, but not before each nail has been applied. "Always contour the nails from the sidewalls to taper them for an even more natural look," Edwards said. "Everyone's nail beds are different and contouring is key for super natural-looking nails."
Go ahead and put on some topcoat, let it dry, and you'll have good, long-lasting press-ons.
