Can Press-On Nails Look Natural? Yes, Here’s How

Do you want gorgeous, salon-caliber nails without the trouble or harm that gels and acrylics can cause? If you know a few easy tips, Elanto Nails’ press-on nails can look just as natural — and occasionally even better. Many people believe that press-ons are always bulky or fake, but with the correct application, sizing, and shape, they can look smooth and sophisticated, giving the impression that you just walked out of a salon.
Choose the Right Shape for Your Hands
Selecting the appropriate shape for your hand and finger type is one way to create press-ons that look natural. Almond or rounded shapes can help elongate your hands and give them a slim, sophisticated appearance if your fingers are shorter. Square or coffin shapes can provide balance and still look stylish for people with longer fingers. While maintaining a polished appearance, sticking to medium or short lengths will also make your press-ons appear more manageable and natural. Elanto Nails provides a range of shapes so you can match your own aesthetic without sacrificing a natural appearance.
Correct Sizing Makes All the Difference
For an effortless look, it’s important to size your press-ons correctly. To determine the closest size, compare each press-on to your natural nails before applying. Selecting the slightly smaller size and carefully filing the sides for a snug fit is preferable if you are torn between two sizes. A properly sized nail will sit flush on your nail bed and blend in perfectly with your natural nails, but oversized press-ons can overlap onto your skin and look odd.
File and Shape for a Seamless Finish
Spend a few minutes shaping and filing the edges after applying your Elanto press-ons. By doing this, you can make your nails look like they were freshly manicured in a salon rather than like press-ons. If you want a softer or more customized curve, gently smooth out any sharp edges with a fine-grit file and change the shape of the tip. Your nails will appear more tidy as well as more expertly done as a result.
Apply with Care for a Natural Look
The secret to creating a natural-looking press-on manicure is preparation and careful application. To improve the adhesive tabs’ grip, begin by gently buffing the surface of your nails after cleaning them with alcohol to remove any remaining oils. To guarantee a solid, flush bond, use Elanto adhesive tabs to press the nails down from the cuticle area and hold them there for 15 to 20 seconds. To help the adhesive set properly and keep your press-ons looking seamless and secure, try to keep them out of the water for at least half an hour after application.
Hydrate Your Cuticles for a Polished Look
To hydrate and soften the cuticle area, apply a drop of cuticle oil around each nail after applying your nails. This easy step gives your press-ons the new, healthy sheen you get after a salon visit and helps them blend in beautifully with your natural nails.
Achieve Salon-Quality Nails Effortlessly with Elanto
With the correct technique, press-on nails can have the same realistic appearance as gel or acrylic manicures without requiring the same level of dedication or damage.
