How long after applying press on nails can I shower?

It’s best to wait at least 1-2 hours after applying press-on nails before showering to allow the adhesive to fully set and bond to your natural nails. If you can wait a bit longer (like 4-6 hours), that would be even better for optimal adhesion, especially if you used nail glue.

If you can’t wait that long, just be extra cautious when showering, and try to avoid using your nails to scrub or get them too wet. You might want to use lukewarm water instead of hot, as heat can soften the adhesive.

Once they’re on and fully set, they should hold up well during showers, but just avoid anything that could put a lot of pressure on the nails right after application.
