Care for your Nails by Mel
Extend the life and beauty of your handmade press-on nails with our simple care guide. Learn how to keep your Nails by Mel looking flawless from application to removal.
Maintaining hand-styled designs
Each set of Nails by Mel features unique, hand-styled designs created with care. To ensure these beautiful designs last, avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water exposure. When cleaning, wear gloves to protect your nails. For long-term wear, consider applying a thin layer of topcoat every few days to seal the design and prevent chipping.
Application tips for lasting wear
Your Nails by Mel can be applied using either nail glue or adhesive tabs. For best results with glue, ensure your natural nails are clean and dry before application. Apply a small dot of glue to your natural nail and press the artificial nail firmly for 10-15 seconds. If using adhesive tabs, select the correct size tab, press it onto your natural nail, then press the artificial nail on top. Both methods offer a secure hold when applied correctly.
Things to avoid for perfect press-ons
To keep your Nails by Mel looking their best, avoid picking or prying at the edges, which can damage both the press-on and your natural nails. Do not use your nails as tools to open cans or scratch surfaces, as this can lead to breakage. When removing, always soak your hands in warm, soapy water or use a specialized nail removal solution to loosen the adhesive gently. Improper removal can cause harm.
