How to Apply Press-On Nails with Jelly Stickers (So They Actually Stay On!)

Hey there, nail girlie! Welcome to the world of press-on nails—where you can have salon-quality nails in minutes without the drama of waiting forever, paying too much, or getting your nails damaged. Today, we’re talking about applying press-ons with jelly stickers and making them last, because let’s be real—nobody wants to lose a nail mid-latte sip.

Our jelly stickers are special formula that can last even a week if we do them right.

Step 1: Gather Your Nail Kit

Before we start, make sure you have everything you need:

Your fabulous Mitty press-on nails (duh!)
Jelly stickers (comes in the kit)
A nail file and buffer (we also give you 1 in the kit)
Rubbing alcohol or nail prep solution (also in your kit)
A cuticle pusher (and guess what.... you got it, also in the kit)

Step 2: Size Your Jelly Stickers and press on nails

Not all jelly stickers are press on nails are same size, and neither are your nails! Find the right size for each nail and put them in order.

Pro tip: The jelly sticker should be slightly smaller than your natural nail so it doesn’t hang over the edges.

Step 3: Prep Like a Pro

Prepping your natural nails is the secret sauce to getting your press-ons to last. Here’s how to do it:

Wash your hands—oils and dirt are your enemy!
Push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher so your press-ons sit flush.
Gently buff your nails—you don’t need to go crazy, just enough to remove the shine so the jelly stickers can grip better.
Wipe your nails with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or dust.
Do NOT TOUCH anything! We don't want oil and dirt getting back on our nails right!

Step 4: Stick ‘Em On!

Peel the jelly sticker from the sheet and apply it directly to your natural nail.
Press it down firmly for about 10 seconds to ensure it sticks properly.
Remove the protective film from the top.

Step 5: Apply the Press-Ons

Now for the magic moment!

Line up the press-on nail with your cuticle.
Press down firmly, starting from the cuticle and pressing toward the tip.
Hold it in place for 30 seconds—don’t rush! The more pressure, the better the hold.

Pro Tips for Extra Hold

Avoid water and lotions for at least an hour after applying.
If a nail starts lifting, press it back down and hold for a few seconds.
Want even longer wear? Add a dab of nail glue before applying the jelly sticker (a little goes a long way!).
No shower, swimming or leaving hands in hot water for 24 hours!
