What are press on nails?
Press on nails are self-adhesive artificial fingernails. The name says it all! Press on nails are simply glued onto the prepared natural nail and pressed on. Hence the name, because Press On Nails means something like "nails that are pressed on". The artificial nails for gluing on are a perfect, simple and quick alternative to conventional nail modelling. You can save yourself a visit to the nail salon with gothic nails. You'll find everything you need in the Press On Nails set. The gothic fake nails are attached to the natural nail with a special adhesive.
How to create new gothic nails
The application of artificial gothic nails is very simple and ensures breathtaking results. The products are usually vegan and cruelty-free. But how exactly are gothic nails applied? We explain the path to DIY nail design in 7 simple steps.
7 steps to your new gothic nail design:
- Match nails: which press on nail goes with which fingernail? Choose your size. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size. Hold the press on nails against your nail bed and find edges that overlap the nail bed. File these edges carefully to fit your nail bed. This is because when press on nails overlap the skin, air gets underneath, making it easier for the nails to chip and bacteria to colonise.
- Prepare your nails: gently polish your natural nails with a nail file. The aim is to roughen the surface so that the glue adheres better. Do NOT brush off the dust.
- Apply glue: apply 1-6 drops of the nail glue (included) to the nail bed. Do not spread the glue everywhere, otherwise it will dry prematurely. Do not use too much glue, otherwise it may ooze out of the sides later.
- Glueing on press on nails: place the first press on nail on the natural nail so that the lower edge is flush with the cuticle. Slowly lower the fake nail downwards and press it on carefully. Finally, press the nail down for a few seconds.
- Remove the glue: wipe off any excess glue with a cloth.
- Leave to dry: the glue should now dry for a few minutes.
- Enjoy nail design: you can now enjoy the gothic nail manicure for up to two weeks.
Our tip: The glue adheres best to clean, natural nails. Therefore, remove any nail polish and wash the nail bed thoroughly with soap and water. This will remove excess oil and dirt. Dry your nails thoroughly before applying.
Removing press on nails: it's easy with these 5 steps:
- Soak your nails: soak your fingers in hot soapy water for at least 15 minutes. You can use a bowl or do it while washing the dishes with the whole family! Tip: rubbing some oil (any oil) on your cuticles after or during soaking will help remove them.
- Prepare the nails: look for loose edges of the press on nail and start to carefully peel it away from the edges. Use leverage and gently wiggle the tip of the nail to be removed back and forth.
- Remove the nails: Voilà! The press on nail will come off. Repeat this process for all your other nails.
- Remove glue residue: as soon as the press on nails are detached, there may still be some glue on the natural nail. Under no circumstances should you scrape this off with force, as this can damage your natural nail. Instead, apply some acetone-based nail polish remover to a cotton pad and wipe it over the nail.
- PSST: you can reuse the gothic press on nails! But make sure you keep them away from liquids containing acetone. These liquids make the press on nails unusable. If excess glue on the fake nails bothers you, simply file it off with a nail file.
Our tip: We recommend waiting until the press on nails start to come off naturally before removing them. Depending on how much glue you have used, it will begin to dissolve naturally within 3-14 days.
3 DIY looks with gothic fake nails
Subtle design
Do you favour darkness when it comes to beauty or are you simply looking for a stylish nail design for everyday outfits? Then subtle looks are the thing for you! Press on nails in a subtle matte black with a fine French tip are ideal, for example. The general rule with French nails is: the narrower the tip, the more discreet the look. If you like a more eye-catching look, simply choose slightly longer press on nails, even in a mystical style.
Press on nails in witchy style - a must-have for witches
Do you like witchy styles? Nice! Because the most important rule here is: Anything goes as long as it has a witchy look! High-contrast looks in which different colours are combined are particularly popular. Just two colours can alternate with each other or the colours can run into each other.
