How long do AFK PressOns Stay On?
Wear time ranges from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on prep and application.
Prep is everything:
- Buff the natural nail surface
- Clean thoroughly to remove oils
- Dehydrate the nail plate (alcohol wipe or nail dehydrator)
- Ensure nails are completely dry before applying glueApplication tips:
- Apply glue to both your entire natural nail bed and the underside of the press-on nail
- Press on at a 45° angle, starting from the cuticle and rolling forward
- Hold firm pressure for 30 seconds per nail
- Follow the steps on your included nail application card for best results. -
Why did my nail pop off?
It happens! A nail might lift or pop off if:
- Prep wasn’t thorough (buffing, cleaning, dehydrating)
- Glue wasn’t applied to both surfaces
- Pressure wasn’t held long enoughJust clean both surfaces and reapply using the full prep steps. Your kit has everything you need.
-
Can I reuse my nails?
Yes! AFK PressOns are reusable with gentle removal and proper care:
- Soak in warm, soapy water or use cuticle oil to loosen
- Avoid prying or popping them off
- Clean off old glue before storing
- Reapply with fresh glue when you're ready to wear them again -
How should I store my nails between wears?
After removal:
- Gently clean off any leftover glue
- Store nails in a dry container or pouch (we recommend reusing your original packaging)
- Avoid bending or stacking—keep them flat to preserve shape and art -
