How to Apply: The Lisanna Nails Method
​
Achieve a salon-quality, "cement-strong" pedicure in minutes. Follow these steps for an unbreakable bond and a flawless look.
Step 1: Preparation is Key
​
-
Select Your Sizes: Before starting, pick the press-on nails that best fit your natural nail beds. Lay them out in order.
-
Push Back Cuticles: Use the wooden cuticle stick to gently push back your cuticles. This creates more surface area for the nail to grip.
-
Buff the Surface: Lightly buff your natural nail surface and the underside of the press-on nail with a file. This creates a "rough" texture for the glue to lock onto.
-
Deep Clean: Wipe your natural nails thoroughly with an alcohol prep pad. This removes oils and dust, which is crucial for maximum adhesion.
Step 2: The "Cement" Application
-
Apply the UV Gel Glue: Take a small amount of the gel glue between your fingers (don't worry, it’s easy to handle!). Place it onto the inner surface of the press-on nail.
-
Shape the Layer: Spread the gel evenly across the inside of the nail. Pro Tip: Keep the layer thin! A thinner, even layer ensures a better bond and a more natural look.
-
Position & Press: Align the press-on nail with your cuticle and press it firmly onto your natural nail. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
Step 3: Clean & Cure
-
Clean Up: If any gel escapes from the sides, simply wipe it away with your finger or the wooden stick. Since the gel doesn't stick to skin before curing, it’s incredibly easy to clean.
-
Cure Under UV Light: Place your toe under the UV lamp for 90 seconds.
-
Lisanna’s Pro Tip: If you don’t want to hold the lamp, rest it directly on your toe and find a support surface (like a table leg or a book) to keep it steady while it cures.
-
Final Check: Ensure the nail is rock-solid. If it feels slightly loose or shifted, reposition it and cure for another 60–90 seconds.
Important Maintenance Tips:
-
Avoid Water: Keep your feet dry for at least 1 hour after application to let the bond fully set.
-
Storage: Keep your UV Gel Glue container closed and away from direct sunlight or the UV lamp while working to prevent it from hardening inside the jar.
