Nail Care Tips

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.
