Press-on nails have come a long way from the flimsy, one-night-only sets you might remember. Today, they’re a luxury, reusable alternative to salon extensions — but only when they’re applied, worn, and removed correctly.
That’s exactly why I created my Free Guide to Press-On Perfection.
As a nail tech with over 5 years of experience, I’ve seen first-hand how much difference proper education makes. When clients understand why we do things a certain way, their sets last longer, their natural nails stay healthier, and they get far better value for money.
This guide exists to make sure you feel confident, informed, and fully supported from your very first set.
Why I Created This Guide
Press-ons should feel empowering — not confusing or disappointing.
I noticed that many issues people experience (lifting, popping off, damage, poor fit) aren’t caused by the nails themselves, but by:
-
Incorrect sizing
-
Skipped prep steps
-
Using the wrong products
-
Rushing removal
Rather than leaving clients to guess, I wanted to offer clear, honest guidance in one place — completely free — so you can get the absolute best out of every set you buy.
What’s Inside the Free Press-On Perfection Guide
This isn’t a quick leaflet — it’s a proper introduction to the world of modern press-ons, written in plain English with a little Prestige Nails magic throughout.
Inside, you’ll learn:
✦ The Truth About Press-On Nails
A short (and slightly cursed) history of press-ons — and how they evolved into the high-quality, salon-level sets you see today.
✦ Why Press-Ons Are Worth It
From saving money and time to improving natural nail health, you’ll understand exactly why press-ons are such a powerful alternative to salon enhancements.
✦ Nail Tip Types (This One Matters)
Not all press-ons are created equal. I break down the difference between luxury soft-gel tips and cheap plastic alternatives — and why tip quality directly affects comfort, durability, and wear time.

Step-by-step guidance on:
-
Nail prep (the most important part)

Glue vs sticky tabs

✦ Safe Removal & Reuse
Learn how to remove your press-ons without damage and how to prep them for reuse — helping you save money and extend the life of your sets.
✦ Aftercare & Longevity Tips
Small habits that make a huge difference, including how daily cuticle oil use improves wear time and natural nail health.
