Getting Started with Nail Art
Your first steps into beautiful, long-lasting nail art at home — no salon required.
Nail art has never been more accessible. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, Popink press-on nails make it easy to achieve stunning results at home.
What You Will Need
- A Popink nail kit
- Nail prep wipes
- Adhesive tabs or nail glue (sold separately)
- A cuticle pusher
Step 1: Prepare Your Nails
Start with clean, dry nails. Push back your cuticles gently and lightly buff the surface of each nail. This helps the press-on adhere properly and last longer.
Step 2: Find Your Size
Popink sets are sold per size (XS, S, M or L); pick yours with the size guide. Match each press-on to your natural nail — it should cover the nail without touching the skin on the sides.
Step 3: Apply
Peel the backing from an adhesive tab and press it onto your natural nail. Then firmly press the nail on top, holding for 10–15 seconds. Work from the cuticle end downward to avoid air bubbles.
Tips for Longevity
- Avoid soaking your hands in water for the first hour after application.
- Wear gloves when washing dishes.
- Push down any lifted edges as soon as you notice them.
With a little practice, you will be getting compliments on your nails everywhere you go. Explore the Popink collection to find your perfect set.
