PRESS-ON GEL NAILS APPLICATION
Press-on Gel Nails are our fastest nail to apply. Finding your precise size ensures a natural, comfortable fit that lasts up to two weeks. Our patented collections are designed to mirror natural nail beds.
How to Choose a Size
Once you have chosen your sizes, set them aside. Then begin your application process using the tips and video below.
How to Apply
KLEO Press-On Gel Nails include 30 nails in 12 different sizes to provide a comfortable, customized fit. For sizing tips and measurement charts, please refer to the Sizing Guide found HERE.
Once you've determined your sizes, future applications are even easier. Each nail is conveniently labeled with a size number on the inside of the tip, making it simple to quickly locate the correct nails every time.
Press & Seal
Press firmly from the center out toward the edges, sides, and tip. The adhesive is pressure-sensitive — the more evenly you press, the stronger the hold.
Pro-Tip: Warm hands help the adhesive bond from the very first press.
Prep Your Nails
Good prep is the single biggest factor in how long your nail application lasts.
• Wash hands with an oil-free soap, rinse well, and dry completely.
• Push back your cuticles with your orangewood stick or cuticle pusher.
• Wipe each nail with your prep pad and let them air dry fully before moving on.
Find Your Fit
Your Press-On Gel Nails come in 12 sizes. Hold each one over your natural nail before peeling — cover edge to edge without touching skin or the cuticle. Between sizes? Go smaller.
Pro-Tip: Your sizes are printed on the plastic tab — write them down for next time.
Place & Align
Orient the nail with the film tab facing your cuticle. Peel off the film and align flush with your cuticle line — not on the skin, just meeting the edge.
Pro-Tip: Start with your non-dominant hand — it's easier when your dominant hand does the placing.
LED GEL NAIL STRIPS APPLICATION
LED Gel Nails are our fastest nail to apply. Finding your precise size ensures a natural, comfortable fit that lasts up to two weeks. Our patented collections are designed to mirror natural nail beds.
How to Choose a Size
Once you have chosen your sizes, set them aside. Then begin your application process using the tips and video below.
How to Apply
KLEO LED Gel Nails include 32 nail strips in 10 different sizes to help you achieve the perfect fit. For sizing tips and measurement charts, please refer to the Sizing Guide found HERE.
Once you've determined the best size for each nail, consider making a note of your sizes for future applications. Having your sizes on hand will make each new manicure quicker and even more convenient.
Smooth It Down
Use the flat end of your orangewood stick to smooth from the center outward. Press along the edges and tip — every part needs full contact.
Pro-Tip: Do a final press-down on every nail before you cure.
Prep Your Nails
Good prep is the single biggest factor in how long your nail application lasts.
• Wash hands with an oil-free soap, rinse well, and dry completely.
• Push back your cuticles with your orangewood stick or cuticle pusher.
• Wipe each nail with your prep pad and let them air dry fully before moving on.
Find Your Fit
Hold each strip over your nail before peeling. It should cover edge to edge without touching the skin or sitting on the cuticle. When in doubt, go smaller.
Pro-Tip: Test a few strips before you peel. The right fit covers you
Press & Seal
Start at your pinkies and work toward your thumbs. Place the strip right at the cuticle line you just prepped — not on the skin, right at the edge of it.
Pro-Tip: Any part of the strip touching skin instead of nail will lift early. Take a second to check each nail before moving on.
File It Flush
File downward at an angle toward your palm to remove any overhang and seal the edge. Never file side to side.
Pro-Tip: Filing down seals the edge tight and prevents early lifting.
Trim the Tip
Fold the excess over the free edge of your nail and clip away with small scissors or nail clippers.
Pro-Tip: Fold before you cut — it gives you a clean, guided line.

Flaunt Your Mani
No dry time, no smudging, no salon required — you're done. Pro-Tip: Avoid soaking your hands for the first couple of hours for the best wear.
Cure Your Nails
Cure under your LED lamp for 45 to 60 seconds. One press = 45 seconds; hold until the light turns on = 60 seconds.
Pro-Tip: A fully cured nail feels hard to the touch. Still soft? Cure again.

NAIL FAQ's
How long do the sets stay on?
Your nails will look fresh and shiny for 10-14 days. Recommended wear for each type of nail is below:
LED Gel Strips – 14 days
Press-On Gel Nails - 10 days
How do I prep my nails?
Wash your hands with an oil-free soap and water (think dish soap!) Shape your nails, and push cuticles back. Wipe nails down with the Prep Pad, and make sure they are completely dry before applying nails.
How do I remove them safely?
Unlike other brands, our products do not require nail polish remover or soaking in damaging acetone to remove them. Apply a small amount of Easy Remover to your cuticle line and gently work the product underneath the edges of the Gel Strip, LED Gel Strip or Press-on Gel Nail. Continue to separate the product from your natural nail, adding more Remover as needed.
Easy Remover works with all Kleo Kolor nail products and is a gentle way to remove them. In a pinch, you can use cuticle oil or mineral oil in the same fashion for removal.
