  2. Budget-Friendly: Press-ons are way easier on your wallet than regular salon visits. More money for late-night pizza runs!

  2. Find Your Size: Glamnetic nails come in various sizes. Match each nail to your natural nail bed for the best fit.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Use the included glue or adhesive tabs. Don't overdo it - a little goes a long way.
  4. Press and Hold: Apply the nail and press down firmly for about 30 seconds. Start from your pinky and work your way to your thumb.
