How to Keep Your Press-On Nails Looking Perfect
Whether you're wearing ManiRococo nails for a special occasion or everyday glam, proper care will extend their beauty and wearability.
Before Application
- Make sure your natural nails are clean, dry, and free of oils or lotion.
- Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails for better adhesion.
- Push back cuticles gently — do not cut.
During Wear
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water (long baths, swimming, dishwashing).
- Use gloves when cleaning or doing household chores.
- Do not pick or peel — this can damage both the press-on and your natural nail.
- Avoid using your nails as tools to open packages or scratch surfaces.
Removal
- Soak fingertips in warm water for 10–15 minutes to loosen the adhesive.
- Gently slide a cuticle stick under the edge and lift slowly.
- Never force or rip off — take your time.
- After removal, moisturize your natural nails and cuticles.
Reuse Tips
- If removed carefully, ManiRococo press-ons can often be reused.
- After removal, clean the back of each nail with a cotton pad and isopropyl alcohol.
- Store in the original box or a nail storage case to maintain shape.
Natural Nail Care Between Wears
- Keep natural nails hydrated with cuticle oil daily.
- Avoid harsh acetone removers unless necessary.
- Give your nails a break between applications to breathe.
