About Double-Sided Mini Nail Prep File & Buffer Strips. Fine-grit emery board for shaping tips & lightly buffing the nail plate.
Proper nail plate texture is the secret to a press-on manicure that lasts. Two or three gentle strokes with this fine-grit mini file remove surface glaze from your natural nail so liquid glue or jelly tabs lock on evenly. Also ideal for customizing the cuticle curve or free edge of your press-on tips.

How to use it. Step-by-step help included.
Start with clean, dry hands. Push back cuticles with an orangewood stick, lightly buff away surface shine with a mini file, and wipe each nail with a 75% alcohol prep pad before applying jelly tabs, liquid nail glue or solid UV gel adhesive.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between jelly tabs, liquid nail glue and solid UV gel adhesive?
Jelly adhesive tabs require no drying or curing and are best for short-term wear (1–3 days) and effortless removal. Liquid nail glue air-dries in seconds for 7–14 day wear. Solid UV gel adhesive putty stays moldable until cured for 60 seconds under a UV/LED lamp, filling gaps for high-arch nail beds.
Do I need a UV/LED lamp for press-on nails?
You only need a UV/LED lamp if you use solid UV gel adhesive putty. Standard liquid nail glue and double-sided jelly adhesive tabs do not require a lamp.
How does nail glue debonder work?
Apply a drop of debonder along the cuticle and side edges of the press-on tip, wait 1 to 2 minutes for it to soften the adhesive bond, and gently lift the tip from the side using an orangewood stick.
How many tips fit inside the 12-grid storage box?
Each frosted 12-grid organizer box has 12 individual numbered compartments designed to hold a full 30-piece press-on nail set sorted by size.
