How to apply our press-on nails

Each Bee of Whimsy nail set comes with everything you need:

Cuticle stick, mini buffer, alcohol prep pads, nail glue, sticky tabs, and a mini nail file.

 

Prep Steps (for both glue & sticky tabs)

1. Wash your hands with soap and water.

2. Let your nails dry completely—this helps everything stick better.

3. Use the cuticle stick to gently push back your cuticles.

4. Lightly buff your nails using the mini buffer to remove shine.

5. Wipe nails clean with the included alcohol prep pad to remove oils.

6. Lay out your nails in order before applying.

 

Method 1: Applying with Nail Glue

1. Apply a thin layer of glue to your natural nail.

2. Add a small dot of glue to the back of the press-on nail.

3. Line up the nail with your cuticle (just below it, not on it).

4. Press and hold for at least 15 seconds.

5. Repeat for each finger. Avoid water or oils for at least an hour.


Removal (Glue):

• Soak nails in warm, soapy water with a little cuticle or olive oil for 10–15 minutes.

• Gently lift using the cuticle stick.

• Re-soak if needed—don’t force it.

• Buff off any leftover glue.

 

Method 2: Applying with Sticky Tabs

1. Select the right size tab for each nail.

2. Peel off the backing and apply the tab to your natural nail.

3. Press and smooth it down firmly.

4. Remove the top film.

5. Line up the press-on and press firmly for at least 15 seconds.


Removal (Sticky Tabs):

• Gently lift from the side with the cuticle stick.

• Wipe off any sticky residue with alcohol or nail polish remover.
