Quick answer
To get the most from your RUBYRA press-on nails, prep your natural nails, apply with strong adhesive, and follow the wear and removal tips below. With proper care, they can last up to two weeks.
Why RUBYRA nails need extra care
RUBYRA press-on nails feature white and black bases with pink glitter gradients and ruby red crystal gems. The crystals and glitter require gentle handling to stay secure and shiny.
Because they are handmade, each set has slight variations that add to their charm. This also means you should check the fit of each nail before applying to avoid gaps that can catch on hair or clothing.
The medium ballerina shape is elegant but can be prone to lifting at the tip if you use your nails as tools. Avoid opening cans or peeling stickers with them to extend wear time.
How to apply and wear RUBYRA press-on nails
- Prep your natural nails: Remove old polish, push back cuticles, and gently buff the nail surface. Wipe with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to dehydrate. Skipping this step is the most common cause of early lifting.
- Select the right size: Each nail has a size option. Test each press-on against your natural nail and choose the one that covers the entire nail bed without touching the cuticle. A perfect fit prevents gaps that trap water and cause lifting.
- Apply adhesive: Use the included adhesive tabs or a few drops of nail glue. Press the tab or glue onto your natural nail, then press the press-on nail firmly for 30 seconds. Too much glue can cause overflow; wipe any excess immediately.
- Seal the edges: After applying all nails, press down on the free edge of each nail for a few seconds. You can also apply a thin layer of clear top coat over the tips to seal. This helps prevent the tips from catching on hair or clothing.
- Care while wearing: Avoid prolonged water exposure, wear gloves for dishwashing, and don't use your nails as tools. Apply cuticle oil daily to keep the nail area hydrated. Regular oiling also helps prevent the press-ons from becoming brittle.
- Remove safely: Soak nails in warm soapy water or use an acetone-based remover. Gently lift from the side with a cuticle pusher—never force them off. Forcing removal can damage your natural nails.
