Sticky Tabs or Glue? Choose Your Application Method
Two methods, endless possibilities. Here's how to decide between flexibility and commitment for your Nitro nails.
Sticky Tabs: Maximum Flexibility
Sticky tabs offer the freedom to change your nail as often as you want. Perfect for experimenting with new styles or when life demands versatility (think: party, board room and surf the same week. Or mom duties, dinners, mountain climbing).
Best for:
- Testing new styles
- Event-specific looks (different nails for work vs weekend)
- Travel situations requiring quick changes
- 2-3 days of gorgeous wear with easy removal
- Preserving nail set longevity (no glue residue, super easy change)
- Last-minute style switches
Nail Glue: Long-Term Commitment
When properly applied, glue provides up to 2+ weeks of bulletproof wear. Choose this method when you want to forget you're wearing press-ons, you're going on a holiday, or just prefer longer wear times.
Best for:
- Extended wear periods (holidays, busy weeks)
- Maximum durability against daily activities
- Natural nail feel and appearance
- 2 weeks of maintenance-free nails
- Easy when you've found your signature style
The Make-or-Break Rule
Before application, clean nails are non-negotiable.
Always wipe your nails thoroughly with the provided alcohol wipes before application. Oil, lotion, or any residue will prevent proper adhesion regardless of your chosen method.
Critical steps:
- Wipe each nail completely with alcohol pad
- Allow 30 seconds for full drying
- Proceed immediately with application
- No exceptions - this step determines your success
Never skip the cleaning step. Clean preparation is the foundation of flawless wear, whether you choose tabs for flexibility or glue for permanence.
