4. Apply Your Nails Strategically

 

Apply your press-ons at least 2–3 hours before traveling to allow the adhesive to set properly. Avoid water exposure immediately after application as it can weaken the bond.

 

5. Carry Spares

 

Always pack a few extra nails in case one pops off during your trip. Glamnetic offers convenient bundles that include multiple sizes, so you’ll always have a backup.

 

Don’ts for Traveling with Press-On Toenails

 

1. Don’t Skip the Adhesive Prep

 

Skipping steps like buffing or cleaning can lead to premature lifting of your nails.

 

2. Avoid Excessive Water Exposure

 

While most press-ons are water-resistant, prolonged exposure to water (like swimming) can weaken their hold. If you plan to swim, consider applying a waterproof topcoat over your press-ons.

 

3. Don’t Overpack Your Nail Kit

 

Stick to essentials to save space in your luggage. Glamnetic’s compact travel cases are perfect for storing everything you need.

 

4. Avoid Tight Shoes

 

Wearing tight shoes can put pressure on your press-ons, causing them to lift or break. Opt for comfortable footwear that doesn’t rub against your nails.

 

How Long Do Press-On Toenails Last While Traveling?

 

With proper application and care, Glamnetic’s press-on toenails can last up to 10–14 days—even during travel! Here’s a quick breakdown of factors that affect their longevity:
