Quick Answer

To get the best from your Instant Glam Astro short oval press on nails, prep your natural nails, choose the right size, apply with a strong adhesive, and press firmly for a secure hold.

Why Short Oval Press Ons Are a Smart Choice

Short oval press on nails are a practical option for everyday wear. The shorter length reduces the risk of snagging and breaking, while the oval shape flatters most finger shapes and feels natural. The Instant Glam Astro set features a sheer nude base with moon, stars, and sun prints, giving you a celestial look that works for both casual and dressy occasions.

What to Expect from the Instant Glam Astro Set

This set includes 24 tips, which is a full set with two sizes of each size 0-9. That means you can find a good fit for most nail beds, and you have spares in case one gets lost or damaged. The glossy finish adds a subtle shine that complements the celestial prints. Remember, the set does not include adhesive, so you will need to purchase nail glue or adhesive tabs separately.

Step-by-Step Application and Styling Guide

  1. Prep Your Natural Nails: Remove old polish, push back cuticles, and lightly buff the nail surface. Wipe nails with rubbing alcohol to remove oils. This helps the adhesive bond better. Skipping the alcohol wipe can cause the nails to lift early.
  2. Select the Right Size: Match each press on to your natural nail by comparing widths. The set includes sizes 0-9, so you should find a close match. If between sizes, choose the larger one and file the edges slightly. A too-small nail can pinch; a too-large nail looks unnatural.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Apply a thin layer of nail glue to your natural nail or use adhesive tabs. Press the press on firmly for 10-15 seconds. Avoid getting glue on your skin. Too much glue can cause overflow and weaken the bond.
  4. Press and Hold: Press the nail down from the cuticle to the tip, holding for at least 10 seconds. This ensures full contact and removes air bubbles. A common mistake is not holding long enough, leading to loose nails.
  5. Style and Seal: After application, you can file the edges for a perfect fit. Apply a top coat over the entire nail to add extra shine and seal the design. Avoid water for the first hour. Sealing with a top coat extends the wear time.
