｜Common Problems with Wear-on Nails｜Wear-on Nails’ contact with water, durability, shortcomings, sticking direction, etc., all solved at one time!
Wearing press-on nails has been popular for so many years, of course there are still newcomers,
This is the QA guide for beginners! I hope it can solve all your problemsヽ(●´∀`●)ﾉ
・How long can I wear the press-on nails?
Quick answer for you. Jelly glue sticks for about 5-7 days, solid jelly glue for about 2-4 weeks.
But the above is not the recommended number of days to stick it on, it just means the number of days it can last on your hand.
The recommended number of days is to remove it with in a week . Because the nail cover is under the nail plate, we don't know what the condition of the nail is.
If the nail is only slightly painful or injured, it is easy to be ignored.
If you find out when you want to remove the nail polish after a month, it may be too late, so you must pay attention to the time of sticking the nail polish.
・Can I touch water while wearing press-on nails?
SURE! .
If you have sweaty hands and need to wear gloves for a long time at work, I suggest you use solid jelly glue/solid glue to stick it.
If you don't need to wash dishes or wear gloves for a long time, you can just use jelly glue.
If you follow the correct steps to stick it, you don’t need to worry about it coming into contact with water in your daily life (washing your hands, taking a bath, etc.)
You don't need to worry about going to the toilet and washing your hands right after applying it. Basically, just fix it.
But if you are worried about the maintenance degree, you can avoid touching water for three or four hours.
・Which way should you apply press-on nails?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell which side of the nail tip goes toward your fingertip, right?
Here’s a simple trick — look at the number on the back of the nail.
The side with the number should face the tip of your finger.
If there’s no number, check which side fits your cuticle area better —
that’s the side that should go near your skin.
・What are the disadvantages of wearing press-on nails?
To be fair, press-on nails can’t correct your natural nail shape problems such as downward-curving (hooked) nails or spoon-shaped nails.
They simply cover those imperfections quickly (which is also one of their pros!),
but they don’t solve the root issue.
Another drawback is the weight — no matter how lightweight the design is
or even if it has no decorations at all,
some people still find it a bit uncomfortable at first.
And on a lighter note, the biggest “problem” might be…
you’ll just keep buying more of them 😆 and then have to figure out how to store your growing collection! 💅
・Why is the price of press-on nails so different?
Let’s talk about the low-priced ones first. Generally, the low-priced ones are made by machines .
Machines can produce large quantities at one time, which naturally reduces costs.
The mid-priced ones are usually made by machine + hand-applied diamonds , because of the manpower problem,
The salary is added on top, which is easy to understand.
Let's talk about the high-priced ones. Some of them are done by hand by the nail artist from beginning to end, starting with polishing .
Of course, there will be different prices for simple to exquisite workmanship.
For example, the prices of simple color-blocking models and complex oil painting models are of course different.
It all depends on how much money you are willing to pay to purchase someone else's work.
・How to deal with the small spikes on the fingertips? What are they?
As mentioned earlier, the armor is made by a machine, and the machine produces a whole piece of armor.
It needs to be cut off piece by piece. If it is a more careful factory, it will be handled more cleanly.
But most of them will leave a small pointy tip;
At this time, just take out the included tool kit, which contains a thin grinding plate, and grind it at 90 degrees.
Please note! If the nail polish you buy has a top coat of glue , you can't just grind it off.
You need to apply another layer of sealing glue , otherwise the nail plate will be easily damaged!
・Should I choose the right size for my press-on nails or a size smaller?
Do you usually use the right size or a smaller size?
I'm a size M, but it feels heavy and awkward to put on those fingers.
So sometimes I will put on a size S just to look good;
In fact, you don't have to worry about it, just choose the size that you like .
The advantage of choosing a smaller one is that the front of the nail looks longer.
The downside is that you can see your nails from the side.
Another important point is that it is best to try the size on the spot after wearing the armor .
Everyone's hands are different, and there is also the relationship between the nail plate pattern.
Some of them look particularly swollen.
Some people just look particularly thin (as if describing their body shapeヽ(・×・´)ゞ),
So it’s best to try it on site!
・How to remove the press-on nails?
Jelly glue removal - soak in warm water for 5-10 minutes (or just after taking a shower), apply cuticle oil around the nail plate, and use a beech stick to separate the nail and the nail plate.
Solid jelly glue removal - also soak in warm water (or just after taking a shower), apply some nail edge oil around the nail plate, then spray some alcohol, use a beech stick to gently slide the nail plate boundary to separate.
The above method is just a brief description. The detailed steps are written in the previous tutorial.
