Everything you need to know!
Info on Application + Removal, and more!
Temporary Wear (up to 3-4 days): Use our STICKY TABS.
- Sticky Tabs have an amazing hold, but they're also easy to remove (when you're intentionally removing them!)
- Best used when you're only looking to wear your Glowie nails for a couple of days at a time.
Extended Wear (up to 3 weeks): Use our GLUE.
- Our Glue ensures your Glowie nails grip on well... stubbornly well.
- Only use this if you're ready for at least a week of commitment! Because it's formulated for long term wear, it can be very challenging to remove when freshly applied (a few days to a week).
Here's a video from our TikTok explaining more: How long do they last for?
** Note: Your lifestyle can affect the longevity of the adhesive's grip. Follow both our prep and application guides closely to maximise the use of your Sticky Tabs/Glue -- DO NOT miss these steps!
Step 1: Prep your nails
This step is crucial to ensuring your Glowie nails stay on for as long as possible.
1. Start by pushing back your cuticles using the cuticle stick & filing down your nails.
2. Size Glowie nails by placing them above your natural nail beds and choosing the ones that have the most suitable fit.
- It shouldn't hurt when you press down! Otherwise, the size you chose is too small.
- It shouldn't go beyond your cuticles! Otherwise, the size you chose is too big.
3. Gently buff your nails using the nail fliler in the kit. The rough surface this creates gives the glue a great surface to grip on.
4. Wipe all your nails with the alcohol wipe. Make sure you're wiping down the entire surface of each nail to remove oil and dirt.
5. Do not touch the area you've already wiped with the alcohol pad! This will reintroduce oil to the area.
Step 2: Choose what to use (glue or sticky tabs)
- Up to 4 days of wear: STICKY TABS
1. Use this if you want something that grips well, but also easy to remove (if you're intentionally removing it!)
2. Choose the sticky tab that is the correct size for each of your nail beds, and apply the adhesive.
- Up to 3 weeks of wear: GLUE
1. This should only be used if you're ready to commit to at least a week of wear. It's made to grip on stubbornly well, which makes removal difficult when freshly applied (a few days to a week!)
2. Apply glue on the back of your Glowie press ons' as well as your actual nails.
3. If you're using the glue tube, only use a pea sized amount.
4. If you're using the brush on glue, evenly coat your Glowie nails and the press ons'.
Step 3: Press!
Apply Glowie nails at a 45 degree angle and press down firmly for 20-30 seconds (or longer), ensuring you remove all air bubbles upon application.
If possible, do not wet your hands for at least 4 hours post-application.

• Avoid washing your hands for at least 4 hours after application. This allows the adhesives more time to properly grip to your natural nails.
• Once you've wiped down your nails with the alcohol pad, DO NOT TOUCH THEM. This will re-introduce oil to the area that's already been cleaned.
• Make sure you're choosing the right size! Nails will off prematurely if it's too small or too big. Water can go under your nails and interact with the glue underneath ( a common culprit for nail discolouration and pre-mature lifting).
You can easily remove your press on's with NO damage by soaking them in hot water, soap and oil (any kind such as cuticle oil, kitchen oil or body oil) for 10-15 minutes!
Note: Some nails may take longer than others to come off depending on how much glue you used, and how long it's been since you've applied your press on's.

NEVER forcefully remove the press ons' before they're ready to come off.
- You'll know it's ready to be removed if it pops off easily with a gentle nudge upwards using the cuticle stick.
- If you feel some resistance when pushing upwards, do not exert additional force!
- Contact our customer service team (email us at support@glowiebyher.com) so we can guide you through the removal process.
- If these steps aren't followed, our team is not liable for damages incurred to both your Glowie nails and your actual nails.
Please contact us! We're here to help. Patience is vital to make sure your nails and Glowie press ons' remain in good condition after removal.
Definitely, our Glowie nails are manufactured with durability in mind!
However, like all other things, the user's wear and care determines its reusability. Here are some really helpful tips to ensure you can get multiple uses out of your press ons':
- Wear gloves when handling harsh chemicals.
- Never use your press ons' as tools! Do not use them on pull tabs, etc.
- When typing, use your finger pads (not the tips of the press ons').
- Never forcefully remove your press ons'! If you're having some difficulty, contact our Customer Support team.
Your wear and care determines its reusability! Show your Glowie nails some love and care so they can last.
If you haven't tried them before, here are some reasons why press on's are amazing!
- Reusable with proper love and care.
- Convenient and portable.
- Affordable - they're much cheaper than getting nails done at the salon.
- No damage (follow our removal tutorial closely).
- Customisable to your desired shape and length.
- Allows your natural nails to grow out healthy.
- It saves you time. No more sitting still for hours at nail salons.
They're perfect if:
- You can't wear nails to work! Simply use our temporary sticky tabs and remove them after 2-4 days of use. (DO NOT use the glue if you're not ready for at least a week of wear!)
- You want something sustainable -- they're reusable if you put in some love and care.
- You have damaged/weak nails from getting your nails done.
- You're looking to find something that helps prevent you from biting your nails. We've received a lot of feedback on this, haha!
Yess! We purposely made our press on's available in sizes medium-long because you can always go shorter and change the shape of the nail by clipping and filing them!
