Boss Babe Nail Care Guide
Keep Your Nails Looking Fresh and Lasting Longer
Taking care of your press-on nails is the secret to keeping them flawless, long-lasting, and reusable. Follow these tips to maintain that salon-perfect look from the moment you apply them until it’s time for a new set. Whether you’re new to press-ons or a seasoned pro, proper nail care makes all the difference.
💦 Avoid Water for a Few Hours After Application
After applying your press-ons, let your nails fully bond by avoiding water for the first 2 to 3 hours. This helps the glue set properly and prevents lifting. When possible, apply your nails before bed or after a shower so they have time to adhere.
🧤 Wear Gloves When Cleaning or Washing Dishes
Water and cleaning products can weaken the adhesive over time. Protect your nails by wearing gloves when doing household chores or washing dishes. This helps extend the life of your set and keeps your hands soft and moisturized.
💅 Moisturize Cuticles Regularly
Healthy cuticles mean better-looking nails. Apply cuticle oil or hand cream daily to keep the skin around your nails soft and hydrated. This not only enhances the look of your press-ons but also supports natural nail health underneath.
💖 Reapply Glue if Nails Start to Lift
If a nail starts to lift, don’t panic. Clean both the nail and your natural nail with rubbing alcohol, then apply a small drop of glue and press firmly for 10–15 seconds. This quick fix can help your nails stay secure and look brand new.
✨ File and Shape as Needed
Our nails come pre-shaped, but you can easily file or reshape them for a perfect fit. Use a gentle nail file to smooth any edges or adjust the length to your liking. Always file in one direction to avoid splitting or damage.
📦 Be Gentle With Your Nails
Treat your press-ons like luxury accessories. Avoid using your nails to open packages, pop cans, or lift objects. Being mindful helps maintain their shape and finish while preventing accidental lifting.
🧴 Avoid Oil-Based Products on Nails
Oil-based lotions and products can break down the adhesive. Try to use oil-free hand creams and keep oils away from your nails, especially near the base. This is one of the best ways to prevent early lifting.
💦 Remove Nails Gently
Never pull or force off your nails. Instead, soak your hands in warm, soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes to loosen the adhesive. Gently lift from the sides using a cuticle stick until they slide off easily. This protects your natural nails and keeps your press-ons reusable.
⏳ Take Breaks Between Applications
Give your natural nails a little breather between sets. Letting them rest for a day or two helps maintain nail health, prevents sensitivity, and keeps your press-ons lasting longer with every reuse.
💖 Pro Tip: Make It a Ritual
Press-on nails aren’t just a beauty hack — they’re self-care. Take time to prep, pamper, and perfect your nails. With a little care, your Boss Babe Nails can last up to two weeks per wear and stay flawless every time you apply them again.
