How to Apply Press-on Nails
Applying your press-on nails correctly makes all the difference. Proper prep and placement ensures a longer-lasting, comfortable wear with a flawless, salon-quality finish.
Follow this step-by-step guide for the best Siren Polish results.
✅ What You’ll Need
- Siren Polish press-on nail set
- Nail glue (included with your Siren Polish set) or adhesive tabs
- Alcohol prep pad (included with your Siren Polish set) or rubbing alcohol
- Nail file (included with your Siren Polish set)
- Cuticle pusher (included with your Siren Polish set)
- Optional: buffer
🌙 Step-by-Step Application Guide
Step 1: Size Your Nails
Before applying:
- Match each press-on to your natural nail
- If between sizes, choose the slightly larger option and file the sides to fit
- Lay nails out in order before starting
A proper fit prevents lifting and improves comfort.
Step 2: Prep Your Natural Nails
Proper prep is the key to long wear.
- Push back cuticles gently
- Lightly buff the nail surface
- Shape natural nails if needed
- Clean nails with alcohol to remove oils
Your nails should feel clean and dry — not slippery.
Step 3: Choose Your Adhesive
Nail Glue
- Best for 7–14 day wear
- Strongest hold
- Recommended for events or long-term wear
Adhesive Tabs
- Best for 1–5 day wear
- Easier removal
- Ideal for short-term use
Optional Step: Apply and Cure Gel Base Coat
- Apply a thin layer of gel base coat to your nail
- Cure for the recommended amount of time (usually 2 minutes) with an LED/UV lamp
This helps secure your choice of adhesive to your nail, making them stronger, and last longer.
Note: If choosing to use gel base coat, you'll likely need to use acetone when removing the nails later. Acetone is not recommended to use on a regular basis as it can dry out the nails and cuticles.
Step 4: Apply Adhesive
If using glue:
- Apply a thin layer to your natural nail
- Add a small dot inside the press-on nail
If using tabs:
- Apply tab to your natural nail
- Press firmly and remove backing
Avoid using too much product — less is more.
Step 5: Apply the Press-On Nail
- Align the nail at the cuticle
- Place at a 45° angle
- Slowly press downward
- Hold firmly for 20–30 seconds
Press from cuticle to tip to prevent air bubbles.
Step 6: Secure the Set
After all nails are applied:
- Press each nail again for 10 seconds
- Avoid water for at least 1 hour
This allows the adhesive to fully bond.
💅 Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Wear
- Apply nails at night for best results
- Avoid water for 2–3 hours if possible
- Wear gloves when cleaning
- Reapply pressure if edges lift early
♻️ Reusing Your Siren Polish Nails
With proper care, your Siren Polish nails can be worn multiple times.
To reuse:
- Remove gently using warm water and cuticle oil
- Clean adhesive from the back of the nail
- Sanitize lightly with alcohol
- Allow to dry completely
❌ Common Application Mistakes
Avoid these for best results:
- Skipping nail prep
- Applying over cuticle skin
- Using too much glue
- Applying right before showering
🤍 Final Reminder
Press-on nails should feel secure — not painful.
If a nail feels uncomfortable, remove and resize it before continuing.
Beautiful nails start with proper prep.
Siren Polish — Stunning. Polished. Irresistible.
How to Remove Press-on Nails
Removing your press‑on nails the right way is just as important as applying them. Proper removal protects your natural nails, prevents damage, and helps your Siren Polish set stay reusable.
Follow the steps below for a gentle, damage‑free removal every time.
❌ What Not to Do
Before we start—never:
- Pull or rip off press‑on nails
- Force loose nails with tools
- Pry from the cuticle
- Remove without soaking
These methods can peel layers of your natural nail and cause breakage.
✅ What You’ll Need
Warm water
- A bowl
- Cuticle oil or nail oil (olive oil works too)
- Optional: mild dish soap
- Cuticle pusher or orangewood stick
- Towel
🌙 Step‑by‑Step Removal Guide
Step 1: Prep Your Soak
Fill a bowl with warm (not hot) water. Add:
- 1–2 teaspoons of cuticle oil
- A small drop of dish soap (optional)
The oil helps break down the adhesive while moisturizing your nails.
Step 2: Soak Your Nails
Soak your hands for 15–20 minutes.
You may gently wiggle your nails during soaking, but do not force them.
Tip: If the water cools, refresh with warm water.
Step 3: Gently Lift
After soaking:
- Use a cuticle pusher or wooden stick
- Start at the sides, never the cuticle
- Slowly nudge the nail upward
If you feel resistance → stop and soak longer.
Press‑ons should slide off easily when ready.
Step 4: Remove Adhesive Residue
Once the nails are off:
- Massage remaining glue with cuticle oil
- Gently push residue off the nail
- Never scrape aggressively
Pat dry with a towel.
♻️ Reusing Your Siren Polish Nails
To reuse your set:
- Remove leftover adhesive from the back of the nail
- Clean gently with alcohol
- Let dry completely
With proper care, your set can be worn multiple times.
✨ Aftercare Tips
After removal:
- Apply cuticle oil generously
- Use a strengthening base coat if needed
- Avoid reapplying press‑ons for at least a few hours
Healthy nails = better future wear.
💅 Pro Tips for Easy Removal
- Use nail tabs instead of glue for short‑term wear
- Apply glue sparingly
- Avoid water for the first hour after application
- Store your nails flat to maintain shape
🤍 Final Reminder
Press‑on nails should never hurt to remove.
If they do, they’re not ready yet.
Take your time—your natural nails will thank you.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use acetone instead of warm water?
Yes — acetone can be used, but it is not the recommended removal method.
Warm water and cuticle oil is the safest option because it:
- Protects your natural nails
- Prevents peeling and dryness
- Helps preserve your Siren Polish set for reuse
Acetone should only be used if:
- The nails were applied with strong nail glue
- The set has been worn for 10+ days
- Warm water removal is not loosening the adhesive
Please note:
- Acetone can dry out nails and cuticles
- It may damage or dull press-on designs
- Nails removed with acetone are often not reusable
If acetone is used, apply cuticle oil generously after removal to restore moisture.
