Everything you need for custom press-on nails at home.

Choose your Nail Tip shape, apply your favourite Gel Nail Polish on the Nail Tip Stand, and press on with Sticky Tabs for an instant, salon-length manicure you can remove and redo whenever you like.

  1. Choose your Nail Tips, selecting the closest match from sidewall to sidewall. If between sizes, go larger and file the sides to fit.
  2. Prep and clean your nails by pushing back cuticles, trimming, filing to shape, buffing the entire surface until dull, and wiping clean.
    Optionally, apply pH Bond.
  3. Paint and cure your Tips off-nail first using the Nail Tip Stand.
  4. Choose the Sticky Tab that best covers your nail bed without overlapping skin or cuticle. Peel and apply, pressing firmly.
    For longer wear, you can warm the Tab slightly with a hair dryer for 5–10 seconds and rub the Sticky Tab into the nail as much as possible.
  5. Peel the backing.
  6. Hold your painted Nail Tip at a 45° angle just above the cuticle, then press it toward the cuticle and along the nail until fully secured.

    Nail Tip Stand
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Great for nail art

    This is great for doing nail art, great that you can attach them to the stand or just hold it in your hand to paint. if you want to do intricate designs, this is a must!

    So far so good! Prep is KEY!

    These look great, and are nice and strong. it took a couple of tries to nail the application, prep really is key and i found the youtube video really helpful. I havent tried the sticky tabs yet but have had my tips on (applied with rubber base) on for 5 days now, two have come off but were easy to reapply.
