Guide to Glowie
Everything you need to know about applying, removing, and caring for your Glowie nails and lashes.
Let's Get Those Lashes On
Never tried magnetic lashes before? Don't worry if it takes a few tries. Follow these steps and you'll get the hang of it.
-
Step 1: CURL
Gently curl your natural lashes so your magnetic lashes sit naturally on top.
-
Step 2: PREP
Swipe a light coat of Glowie Grip Primer over your natural lashes.
-
Step 3: SPLIT
Gently separate your magnetic lash pair into two halves.
-
Step 4: POSITION
Place the top lash on the UP side and the bottom lash on the DOWN side of your applicator, making sure the magnets face each other.
-
Step 5: CLAMP AND SECURE
Tilt your chin up and look down into your mirror. Position the applicator close to your natural lash line, angling it slightly upwards. Gently clamp a few times to secure the magnets, then release. Repeat on the other eye.

A Few Tips That Actually Help
Having trouble getting the lashes close enough?
Try looking down into your mirror instead of straight ahead. It makes positioning the applicator a lot easier.
Magnets not connecting?
Double-check that the top and bottom lashes are sitting correctly on the applicator, with the magnets facing each other.
Still figuring out the applicator?
Practise a few times without primer first. Once you're comfortable, add a thin layer for extra grip.
Taking Them Off & Looking After Them
Your lashes aren't just for one wear. Here's how to keep them ready for the next.
-
REMOVE
Gently slide the top and bottom magnetic lashes apart to release the magnets. Avoid pulling directly on your natural lashes.
-
CLEAN
Carefully remove any makeup or residue from the lashes and magnets. Let them dry completely before putting them away.
-
STORE
Pop your lashes back into their original Glowie case to help keep their shape. 100+ wears with proper care.
Let's Get Those Nails On
First time with press-ons? So easy. Three steps and you're done in under 10 minutes.
-
Step 1: PREP
Push back your cuticles, file and gently buff your nails, then swipe each one with the alcohol wipe. Don't touch them after this, it brings the oil back.
-
Step 2: GLUE
Wearing them for up to 3 weeks? Brush a thin coat of glue on your nail and the back of the press-on. Only want a few days? Use a sticky tab instead.
-
Step 3: PRESS
Pick the size that fits your nail bed, press it on at a 45 degree angle and hold firmly for 20 to 30 seconds.

Taking Them Off
Damage-free removal in 3 easy steps. They're reusable, so pop them back in the case for next time!
-
Step 1: WATER, SOAP & OIL
Fill a bowl with warm water, a little soap and any oil you have (cuticle, body or even kitchen oil).
-
Step 2: SOAK
Soak for 10 to 15 minutes. If you used a lot of glue or applied them recently, give it a little longer.
-
Step 3: REMOVE
Gently nudge each nail up from the side with your cuticle stick. If it doesn't pop off easily, soak a bit longer. Never force it.
Looking After Them
Your Glowie nails aren't just for one wear. Here's how to keep them ready for the next.
-
KEEP THEM DRY
Avoid washing your hands for at least 4 hours after applying so the glue has time to properly grip.
-
BE GENTLE
Wear gloves for harsh chemicals and never use your nails as tools. Type with your finger pads, not your tips.
-
STORE
Once they're off, pop them back into their Glowie case so they keep their shape for next time.

Still Have Questions?
Will they damage my natural lashes?
No glue means nothing pulling or sticking to your lashes. To take them off you just slide the top and bottom apart, no tugging.
Can I wear them to the gym or in the rain?
Yep. They're sweat-proof and water resistant, so the gym and a bit of rain are fine. Just take them off before you sleep, shower or swim.
Can I wear mascara or eyeliner with them?
Liner, yes. Skip mascara and oil-based products on the lashes and band, they can loosen the hold and wear out the magnets faster.
Are they okay for sensitive eyes?
They're totally glue-free, which is where most lash irritation comes from. If you have a specific eye condition, have a quick chat with your optometrist first.
Will they fall off during the day?
Not when they're on properly. The magnets clamp around your own lashes and the Grip Primer adds extra hold. If a corner lifts, give it a gentle press with the applicator.
Will they damage my natural nails?
Not when you take them off the right way. Soak in warm water, soap and a little oil for 10 to 15 minutes and they'll lift right off. Never force or rip them off. If one won't budge, soak a bit longer or email us at support@glowiebyher.com and we'll walk you through it.
Will people be able to tell they're press-ons?
Honestly, most people won't. Glowie nails are made with patented builder gel, six layers of real salon gel, so they have that glossy salon finish. Pick the right size for each nail and they sit flush to your cuticle like a fresh mani.
Are they worth it compared to the salon?
We think so! You get a salon-quality mani at home in under 10 minutes, with no lamp, no dry time and no two-hour appointment. And they're reusable with a bit of love and care, so one set goes a lot further than one salon visit.
What if they don't fit my nails?
Each set comes in a range of sizes, so match one to each nail bed. It shouldn't hurt when you press down (too small) or go past your cuticle (too big). They're medium to long, so you can clip and file them shorter or reshape them however you like.
