I'm having a hard time getting my nails to stay on. What's going on?Updated 13 days ago

Our recommendation? Use plenty of glue and be sure to follow these steps carefully. Some of the most common reasons your Dash may pop off include:

• Your Dash overlaps onto your skin.

• Air bubbles in the glue—apply your Dash at a 45-degree angle from your cuticle to avoid this.

• Your natural nail beds are oily. Don’t forget to thoroughly clean your nails during prep using our Nail Prep Pads and/or Nail Dehydrator.

• Your natural nails are very smooth. Gently buff your nails during prep to help the glue stick better.

• You didn't use enough glue. Add a dot of glue to each Dash and the back of your natural nail. Let the glue get tacky for a few seconds, then apply.

• Press down firmly for at least 30 seconds! The better and longer the pressure, the fewer air bubbles will form, preventing your nail from popping off.

• You’re hard on your hands. If you garden, lift weights, or play sports like volleyball, opt for the longest glue application method—even if you only plan to wear your Dashes for a few days.
