Clear Double-Sided Nail Glue Tabs for Press-On Nails, 240 to 1,200
Press-on nails are only as good as what holds them down. These clear double-sided tabs are a quick, tidy way to fix a press-on or a false tip to the nail without a bottle of glue: peel a tab off the sheet, press it on, and put the nail on top.
Each sheet carries 24 tabs in several shapes and sizes, so you can match a small tab to a pinky and a large tab to a thumb. They are made as waterproof adhesive tabs for fake nails.
What you get
Nails, tips and a nail file are not included. Tabs are the adhesive only.
- 240 Tabs: 10 sheets of 24 tabs, enough for about 24 full sets of ten nails.
- 600 Tabs: 25 sheets, the best value for regular wear or small client work.
- 1,200 Tabs: 50 sheets for nail artists and press-on sellers who go through sets every week.
Why tabs instead of glue
Liquid glue can be messy and takes a steady hand. A tab is already measured out: one tab per nail, no drips, no waiting for glue to set before you place the nail. That makes tabs a good choice for beginners, for a quick set before an event and for anyone who wants to change their nails often.
How to apply
- Lightly buff the natural nail with a file to remove the shine.
- Wipe the nail with a pad so it is clean and dry.
- Peel a tab of the right size off the sheet and place it on the nail.
- Press the press-on nail onto the tab, from the cuticle toward the tip.
- Press and hold for a few seconds so the tab grips evenly.
Good to know
Choose a tab that fits inside the nail so no edge shows beyond the press-on. Keep the sheets flat and closed when you store them so the tabs stay clean. For long wear, many people prefer liquid glue; tabs are best for short-term wear, events and quick changes. As with any adhesive, long hot soaks can shorten wear time.
