How to Apply Double Sided Gel Tape for Press On Nails

Quick answer

Apply double sided gel tape to the bottom of your press on nail box to hold each nail firmly in place during storage or display.

Step-by-step application guide

1. Clean the box surface: Wipe the inside bottom of your press on nail box with a dry cloth to remove dust or debris. A clean surface helps the gel tape stick evenly.
2. Cut the tape to length: Measure the width of your box and cut a piece of double sided gel tape slightly shorter than that width. For a paper-lined box, use the 0.2 inch tape; for a tin box, use the 0.4 inch tape. Cutting the tape a bit shorter prevents it from curling up at the edges.
3. Peel and apply the tape: Remove the backing from one side of the tape and press it firmly onto the box bottom, smoothing out any air bubbles. Then peel off the top liner. Press down the entire tape strip with your finger to ensure full contact.
4. Place the press on nail: Gently press the back of the press on nail onto the exposed adhesive. Center it so the nail sits straight and doesn't touch the box walls. If the nail is crooked, lift it off and reposition immediately before the adhesive sets.
5. Repeat for remaining nails: Space each nail about 0.5 inches apart to avoid them touching each other. Use separate tape strips for each nail rather than one long strip. Separate strips keep each nail individually secure and easy to remove.
