Keep Them Fresh: Caring for Your Fruit Press-On Nails

Just like perfectly ripened produce, fruit nails stay their sweetest when you handle them with a little care. Follow these tricks to keep every cherry, lemon, and berry looking market-fresh:

  • Handle with a Gentle Peel: Before application, cleanse and lightly buff your natural nails—think of removing the outer rind so the goodness sticks. A smooth surface helps press-ons adhere firmly and last longer.

  • Seal in the Juices: Once your set is on, add a thin layer of clear topcoat. It locks in shine the way citrus peel locks in zest, protecting designs from dulling or chipping.

  • Keep Them Out of the Produce Wash: Extended soaking (dish-washing marathons, steamy showers, pool time) can loosen adhesive—just as too much water softens fruit. Slip on gloves or keep soaking short to preserve that just-picked look.

  • Store the Extras Out Of The Sun: Any unused press-ons should stay in their original tray, sealed and away from heat or humidity. Cool, dry storage prevents warping—much like refrigerating ripe berries to keep them crisp.

  • Gently De-Stem at Re-Harvest: When it’s time to swap styles, don’t yank like you’re tugging a stubborn vine. Soak your fingertips in warm water with a splash of cuticle oil, then lift each nail slowly—keeping both the press-on and your natural nail undamaged for the next wear.
