Application Guide: How to Apply Your AuraLux Press-On Nails Like a Pro

Get ready to become your own nail tech. Applying your AuraLux nails is easy, fun, and takes just a few minutes.

🛠 WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• Alcohol pad

• Nail file/ nail buffer

• Cuticle stick

• Nail glue or adhesive tabs

ADHESIVE TABS METHOD (RECOMMENDED)

Step 1: Gently push back any dead skin using a wooden stick and trim your natural nails as needed.

Step 2: Lightly buff the surface of each nail with a nail file to create a smooth base.

Step 3: Clean the nail surface thoroughly with an alcohol pad to remove any oils or residue.

Step 4: Apply the nail tab about 1–2mm away from your cuticle (finger root).

Step 5: Press the tab firmly and smooth it out across your entire nail for a secure fit.

Step 6: Peel off the protective film, then align the press-on nail and press it down at a 45° angle from the tip, pushing gently toward the cuticle. Hold for 10 seconds to secure.

Want your press-ons to stay flawless longer using nail tabs? Try these tried-and-true AuraLux tips for extra hold without the damage!

✨ Tip 1: Keep Hands Dry After Application
Avoid washing your hands or getting them wet for at least 1 hour after applying your nails. This gives the adhesive time to fully bond.

✨ Tip 2: Apply Nail Tabs Sideways (Especially for Pinkies!)
Instead of placing the tab straight on, rotate it sideways to cover more surface area—this gives better grip, especially on smaller nails like your pinky.

----------------------------------

LIQUID GLUE METHOD

While liquid glue can make your press-ons last longer, it may also cause damage to your natural nails over time.

At AuraLux, we want your nail experience to be as fun and flexible as possible, that’s why we don’t recommend using liquid glue as your go-to. One of the best things about press-on nails is being able to change up your style anytime you want, no stress, no damage!

Step 1: Gently push back dead skin using a wooden stick and trim your natural nails as needed.

Step 2: Lightly buff the surface of your nails with a nail file to help the glue adhere better.

Step 3: Clean your nails thoroughly with an alcohol pad to remove any oils or residue.

Step 4: Apply a small amount of glue to the underside of the press-on nail.

Step 5: Align and press the nail onto your natural nail, holding firmly for 10 seconds.
