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.

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.

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.

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!

Always choose the right size nail for a natural look and better adhesion.

Avoid applying hand cream or oils before application, as this can reduce adhesion.

Keep your press-ons in a cool, dry place for longevity.
