Voici comment utiliser correctement les faux ongles Pedi Soft Gel Press Ons :

Step 01

File natural nails into shape

File your toenails into shape and gently push back the cuticles with the rosewood stick.

                                                                            Note

Keep the rosewood stick after use – you’ll need it later to gently remove your press-on pedicure.

Step 02

Roughen and clean natural nails

Gently buff the surface of your toenails with the buffer, carefully removing the thin layer of cuticle at the base of the nail plate. Then remove any dust and residue with the cleaning cloth.

Tip

The more thoroughly you prepare your toenails, the longer and better your Soft Gel Press-On pedicure will last! It is particularly important to push back the cuticles carefully and to clean the nail surface thoroughly. We also recommend that you do not wash your feet or apply any cream or oil for about 30 minutes before application.

Step 03

Choose the right size

Now choose the right size of press-on nails for your toenails. To do this, gently press the loose press-on nail onto your toenail. The correct size will lie flush with the edges of your natural nail. If necessary, you can carefully file the sides of the press-on nails to make them slightly narrower, so they fit your nail plate perfectly.

Tip

You can tell where the tip of the press-on nail is because it is slightly thicker than the base of the nail, or – in the case of smaller press-on nails – by the application aid.

Step 04

Select application method

A. Adhesive stickers
Gentle, reusable & lasts up to 7 days: Choose the right size of sticker for your toenails. They should be neither too narrow nor extend beyond the natural nail. Apply the sticker (with the protective film still on) to the nail and press it down carefully. Make sure the sticker does not stick to the cuticle. Then use the rosewood stick or our Duo nail tool to remove any air bubbles and peel off the protective film.

Tip

You can also combine our adhesive stickers with our nail glue. The adhesive stickers generally stick to all sizes – but for very small press-on nails, you can optionally use the nail glue instead of the adhesive stickers for an even better hold.

B. Nail glue
Long-lasting & up to 14 days: Apply the nail glue generously to the adhesive surface of the press-on nail and also apply a thin layer to the natural nail. Make sure the nail glue does not get on the cuticles.

Note

Please note that press-on nails cannot be reused once they have been applied with nail glue. If you would like to wear your press-on pedicure several times, we recommend using our adhesive stickers instead.

Step 05

Apply the Soft Gel Press On

Place the selected press-on nail at a 45-degree angle against the base of the nail and gently press it down onto the toenail. Then press firmly for about 60 seconds to ensure optimal adhesion.

Step 06

Remove the application guide

Press-on nails for smaller toenails come with an application aid to make them easier to apply to the natural nail. This should be filed down after the press-on nail has been applied. To do this, after pressing the press-on nail onto the natural nail for 60 seconds, snap off the tip of the application aid and gently file down the protruding edge.

How to remove Soft Gel Press Ons nails properly

You can remove your soft gel press-on nails just as quickly as you applied them for your pedicure. All you need is warm water, nail polish remover and a little soap. And best of all: the whole removal process is particularly gentle and nourishing for your feet and toenails.

Frequently Asked

Can I look after my toenails as usual after using the product?

If you’re using adhesive stickers, we recommend avoiding nail oil or rich creams, as these can reduce their staying power. If you’re using nail glue, you can care for your feet and toenails as usual.

I’m allergic to gel and Shellac. Are the Pediküre Soft Gel Press-Ons suitable for me then?

Many customers with allergies to gel or acrylic report very positive experiences with our Soft Gel Press-Ons and find them to be a particularly good alternative. Our Soft Gel Press-Ons are made from an innovative gel formula and contain neither HEMA nor DI-HEMA. They are also free from benzoyl peroxide, an ingredient frequently associated with skin irritation and allergic reactions. If you use the Press-Ons with the adhesive stickers provided, application can be particularly gentle, as no liquid adhesive is required.

Can I use nail glue instead of the adhesive stickers?

Of course! You’re free to choose. The adhesive stickers provide a gentle hold (lasting up to 7 days), whilst the nail glue offers a strong hold lasting up to 14 days. Please note that the press-on nails can only be reused if you use the adhesive stickers.

When should I use nail glue and when should I use adhesive stickers?

The adhesive stickers are ideal if you want to wear your press-on nails gently and flexibly, for example for special occasions or shorter periods of wear. If you want them to last longer (e.g. on holiday), we recommend using nail glue. Please note that the press-on nails are only reusable when using the adhesive stickers. However, you can also combine both methods: for very small press-on nails, you can optionally use the nail glue instead of the adhesive stickers if you want extra hold.

Can I wear the Press Ons in the sauna or in chlorinated water?

Yes, in principle you can wear our soft gel press-on nails in the sauna or in chlorinated water – they are water-resistant and withstand everyday wear and tear very well. However, frequent or prolonged exposure to heat (e.g. in the sauna) or harsh chemicals (such as chlorine) may affect their adhesion over time.

There’s a gap forming between my natural nail and the press-on nails – why is that?

Our soft gel press-ons are designed to adapt to as many nail shapes as possible thanks to their various sizes and slight flexibility. In rare cases, however, they may not fit every nail perfectly. A small gap may appear if the natural curvature of the nail differs significantly from the shape of the press-ons. In such cases, it often helps to gently pre-bend the press-ons slightly before application or to try a different size. The choice of application method can also make a difference: whilst adhesive stickers are ideal for simple and gentle application, nail glue often ensures an even stronger bond and a tighter fit on the nail.

Do the press-on nails only stick to natural nails, or do they also stick to the remains of gel nails?

Press-on nails adhere best to clean, dust- and grease-free natural nails. Small traces of gel nails are usually not a problem, provided the nail surface has been roughened.

What should I do if the stickers don’t fit?

Once you’ve placed the adhesive stickers on your natural nails, feel free to trim them to fit the size of your natural nails. You can then remove the protective film and apply your soft gel press-ons as usual.

Can I trim the Press Ons to a shorter length?

No. You shouldn’t file the press-on nails down too much, as this can cause the top coat seal to loosen or peel off. It’s best to simply file the sides of the press-on nails down slightly.

Can I adjust the length using nail clippers as well?

No. Press-on nails should not be trimmed using nail clippers. Cutting them back too much or filing them down can weaken the seal of the top coat or cause it to peel off. It is best to use our ‘Extra Short’ or ‘Short’ press-on nails in such cases.
