MuBunny Lab: Complete Jelly Glue Press-On Nail Application & Removal Guide | Zero Damage, 7-Day Wear
Most beginners struggle with two common press-on nail problems: they fall off after a few hours, or they damage your natural nails when you try to remove them. With the right technique, jelly glue press-on nails can stay securely on for 7+ days, cause zero damage, and be reused multiple times.
Below is MuBunny's official step-by-step application and removal guide. Follow these instructions and you'll get perfect results even if it's your first time
1. Correct Jelly Glue Application (7-Day Secure Wear)
Follow these 6 steps for strong, natural-looking press-on nails:
1、Prep your nails: Gently file the surface and edges of your natural nails to shape them. File in the direction of nail growth, don't apply too much pressure—you just need to remove the surface shine and oils.
2、Clean your nails: Wipe your nail beds thoroughly with an alcohol prep pad to remove all dirt and oils. This is the most important step! Wait until the alcohol is completely dry before proceeding—any moisture will ruin the adhesion.
3、Select your jelly glue tabs: Choose a jelly glue tab that is slightly smaller than your natural nail. This prevents overflow and creates a better seal.
4、Apply the jelly glue: Place the glue tab in the center of your nail, press gently from the middle outwards to push out all air bubbles, then peel off the clear protective film.
5、Position the nail: Take your press-on nail and place it at a 45° angle, 1mm away from your cuticle. This prevents the nail from pressing into your skin and looks more natural.
6、Press and hold: Push the nail down towards your cuticle, then press firmly from the middle outwards for at least 30 seconds, paying extra attention to the edges and tip. Do not get your nails wet for 1 hour after application to allow the glue to fully cure.
2. Zero-Damage Jelly Glue Removal
Proper removal is essential to protect your natural nails and extend the life of your press-on nails. Never force or pry them off! Follow these steps to remove them easily and completely:
1、Use the included orange stick to gently pry a small gap from the side of the press-on nail. Do not use your own nails to pick at them.
2、Slide the orange stick into the gap and gently push towards the tip of your nail to separate the glue from your natural nail.
3、Repeat the same process on the other side of the nail to create a second gap.
4、Continue sliding the orange stick and pushing towards the tip until the nail is mostly loose.
5、Use the pointed end of the orange stick to gently twist in a circular motion inside the gap, and the entire nail will pop off cleanly.
6、Any remaining glue residue on your natural nails or the back of the press-on nails can be gently scraped off with the pointed end of the orange stick in a circular motion.
MuBunny Pro Tips
✅ Application Tips for Longer Wear
l Avoid hot water, showers and washing hair for 4 hours after application to extend wear time to 7-10 days
l For extra long-lasting wear, add a tiny drop of nail glue to the center of the jelly glue tab—this will keep your nails on for 15+ days
l Avoid using your nails to open hard objects, as this can cause them to pop off
✅ Removal Tips for Nail Protection
l If the nails are difficult to remove, soak your hands in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften the jelly glue first
l Never cut, pry or use acetone to remove press-on nails—this will severely damage both your natural nails and the press-on nails
l After removal, apply a cuticle oil to moisturize and nourish your natural nails
