Quick answer
Start by prepping your nails with a cuticle pusher, then apply gold nail charms to your press ons for a custom, professional look.
Why use a cuticle pusher before applying press ons?
A clean nail bed helps press ons adhere better and last longer. The soft rubber tip of a cuticle pusher gently pushes back cuticles without damaging the nail surface, creating a smooth canvas for your press ons.
When to add gold nail charms?
Add charms after your press ons are fully cured or set. This prevents them from shifting during application. Use a small dab of nail glue or top coat to secure each charm.
Step-by-step guide
- Prep your nail bed: Gently push back cuticles using the soft rubber tipped cuticle pusher. Clean under the nails and remove any residue so the press on adheres evenly. Avoid pushing too hard; the rubber tip should glide, not scrape.
- Apply your press ons: Follow the usual application method for your press on nails—use glue or adhesive tabs and press firmly for 10–15 seconds. Make sure the nail is centered and aligned before pressing down to avoid air bubbles.
- Attach the gold nail charms: Once your press ons are set, apply a tiny drop of nail glue or clear top coat to the back of each gold charm. Place it on the nail and hold for a few seconds. Use tweezers for precise placement; charms are small and can stick to fingers.
- Seal the design: Apply a thin layer of clear top coat over the charm and surrounding area to smooth the surface and add shine. Let it dry completely. Avoid thick layers that can lift the charm; one thin coat is enough.
