Step 1: The Secret is in the Prep
The #1 reason press-ons look "fake" or pop off early is poor preparation.

  1. Push back those cuticles: Use a wooden stick to gently push back your cuticles. This creates more surface area and makes the nail look like it’s growing naturally from your finger.

  2. Buff away the shine: Lightly buff the surface of your natural nail to remove natural oils.

  3. The Alcohol Wipe is Non-Negotiable: Clean your nails with an alcohol prep pad. Any remaining oil will prevent the adhesive from bonding properly.

Step 2: Choosing Your "Natural" Shape

To achieve the most realistic appearance, we recommend the shape. These nails simulate the natural growth pattern of healthy nails, helping to gracefully elongate your hand without appearing "exaggerated".Short AlmondOval

Step 3: The 45-Degree Application Trick
When applying your TsukiNails, don't just press straight down.

The Technique:Place the methyl pad near the edge of the nail, and then slowly press it down towards the top. This will expel the bubbles - this is the most obvious sign of a "fake" nail - and ensures a more secure bond.45-degree angle
