💅 The Easiest Mani Yet — Here’s How

Read time - 80 seconds

Let’s be real — TikTok makes everything look easier than it is. But with Doobys Nails, getting salon-perfect nails at home really is that simple.

We’ve taken care of every detail so you don’t have to. Every set is hand-painted, carefully filed, top-coated for shine and durability, and boxed in size order — ready to wear straight out of the box.

Forget builder gels, messy powders, endless shaping or UV lamps. All you have to do is decide whether you want to apply your set with glue or gel tabs — we include both free with every order.

🛍 What Comes with Every Set:

  • Free Strong Nail Glue — for long-lasting wear (11–16 days or more)
  • Free Gel Tabs — for short-term wear or a more flexible option
  • Alcohol Prep Pad — to gently remove any natural oil. Gel tabs and glue will hold stronger.
  • Cuticle Stick — to gently push back cuticles. This ensures nails are not applied over cuticles to give a better fit meaning they last longer.


All sets are painted, filed, top coated & ready to apply — no extra steps!

💡 Application Steps — So Simple!


Wash your hands, gently push back your cuticles with the included stick, and wipe each nail with the alcohol pad to remove oils for better adhesion.

Match each nail to the correct size from the pre-boxed set. Apply glue or tab, press and hold the nail firmly for 15–30 seconds. Done!


TIP If you're unsure between two sizes, we recommend choosing the slightly smaller nail — larger nails that overlap onto the skin can cause lifting and gaps.


🎉 That’s It — You're Ready to Go!

Your nails will look professionally done — glossy, smooth, and perfectly shaped — all in under 5 minutes. Whether it’s for a night out, a special event, or just everyday glam, Doobys Nails are the easiest way to feel polished without the salon price tag or time commitment.

How to apply your Doobys Nails to ensure a 2 week wear

Each set comes with a FREE bottle of MAKARTT anil glue (Amazon choice for nail glue) and a sheet of 24 gel tabs (enough for 2 applications)

Step 1: Prep Your Natural Nails

Proper nail prep is key to making your press-ons last longer
and look seamless.

Clean Your Nails – Use a cotton pad with rubbing alcohol or acetone to remove any oils or residue from your natural nails.

Trim and Shape – If necessary, trim and file your natural nails to your desired shape for a smooth base.

Push Back Cuticles – Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher
to ensure a better fit for your press-ons.

Buff the Nail Surface – Lightly buff your natural nails to create a slightly rough surface for better adhesion.

Step 2: Choosing Your Application Method

You can apply your Doobys Nails using either gel tabs or nail glue. Both included FREE with each set. Here’s how to use both methods:

Option 1: Using Gel Tabs (For a Temporary Hold)

Gel tabs are perfect if you want a short-term wear time (1-3 days) as they are easier to remove than glue.

Select the Right Tab Size – Match the gel tabs to each nail size.

Apply the Tab – Peel off the backing and stick the tab onto your natural nail.

Press On the Nail – Align the press-on nail and firmly press down for about 10-15 seconds.

Option 2: Using Nail Glue (For a Long-Lasting Hold)

If you want your press-ons to last 1-2 weeks, nail glue is the way to go.

Apply a Small Amount of Glue – Put a thin layer of glue on your natural nail and the back of the press-on nail.

Press and Hold – Align the press-on nail and press down firmly for 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Step 3: Finishing Touches

If there is any excess glue, gently wipe it away with a cotton pad and acetone.

Avoid water exposure for at least an hour to allow the nails to fully adhere.

File and shape the press-ons if needed for a more natural look.

How to Remove and Reuse Your Doobys Nails

One of the best things about Doobys Nails is that they are
reusable! Here’s how to remove them safely:

For Gel Tabs: Simply peel off the nails gently from the sides.

For Nail Glue: Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Use an orangewood stick to lift the edges carefully. Avoid forcing them off to prevent damage.

Once removed, clean off any glue residue with acetone, buff the inside of the nail, and store them safely for your next wear!
