If you’re tired of long salon waits, pricey manicures, or nail damage from acrylics, you’re not alone. More and more women across Pakistan — from Karachi to Lahore to Islamabad — are switching to a smarter beauty solution: press-on nails, also called stick-on nails, fake nails, ready-to-wear nails, or instant manicure sets.
In this guide by Cosmagik Nails, we’ll show you how to apply press-on nails at home — no salon needed, no damage, and no mess.
Why More Pakistani Women Are Choosing Press-On Nails
Let’s face it — traditional salon manicures aren’t always practical. In cities like Karachi, Faisalabad, or Rawalpindi, getting an appointment can be tough. Then there’s the cost and time, not to mention the damage from acrylics or gel extensions.
That’s where Cosmagik Nails comes in. Our ready-to-wear nails are designed for Pakistani women who want salon-quality results without leaving the house. You can shop directly at nails.cosmagik.com — we deliver nationwide, with top styles trending across Lahore, Islamabad, and beyond.
What You’ll Need
Before you start, make sure you’ve got:
- A Cosmagik Nails press-on kit (includes pre-designed nails + glue or adhesive tabs)
- Nail file and buffer
- Cuticle pusher or orange stick
- Rubbing alcohol or non-oily nail polish remover
- Optional: clear top coat for extra hold and shine
How to Apply Press-On Nails at Home – Step-by-Step
1. Clean & Prep
Start by removing any oil or old polish from your natural nails using alcohol or remover. Clean nails = longer-lasting fake nails.
2. Push Back Cuticles
Gently push your cuticles back using a cuticle stick. This ensures a more natural, flush fit.
3. File & Buff
Lightly buff the surface of your nails and file any rough edges. A slightly rough texture helps the glue stick better.
4. Match Your Sizes
Cosmagik Nails come in multiple sizes. Match each one to your natural nail and file edges if needed.
5. Apply Adhesive or Glue
Use either adhesive tabs (included) or nail glue. Add a small amount to your nail and the press-on for a strong bond.
6. Press and Hold
Align the press-on nail with your cuticle and press down firmly for 10–15 seconds.
7. Shape & Seal
Once all nails are applied, file the tips if needed and seal with a top coat.
Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Nails
- Avoid water for 1 hour after application
- Use gloves while cleaning or washing dishes
- Don’t peel off—reapply glue if a nail lifts
- Store extras safely for reuse
