Application Instructions
It is not recommended that you cut or file your press-on nails as this will damage the seal and could result in the polish lifting and peeling.
Gently remove the nails from the packaging using the cuticle pusher from your application kit, or with your hands if it is easier. Arrange the nails on a surface in the order of each finger that they will be applied to. To ensure long lasting wear, wash and thoroughly dry hands before application. Use your cuticle pusher to push back your cuticle on each finger to prevent lifting. With your mini file, lightly file your natural nail to remove the shine. Wipe each nail with the alcohol wipe from your kit to remove any dust that may interfere with adhesion, also being careful not to touch your nail bed so the skin’s natural oils don’t transfer onto it.
Recommended Method (Long wear): Apply a double sided adhesive tab to your natural nail. Remove the plastic layer and discard it.
Note: To minimise mess with the glue, it is recommended that you use a safety pin or drawing pin to open it, rather than cutting the top of.
Place a small dot of nail glue in the middle of the adhesive tab and another small dot of glue onto the back of your corresponding press-on nail (try to be careful with this as flooding with the glue can ruin the look of the press-on nail). Push the press-on onto your natural nail at a 45° angle with the bottom of the press-on nail touching or slightly underneath your pushed back cuticle. Hold for approximately 30 seconds or until you feel the glue is dry. Repeat with all nails until finished.
Alternative Method (Medium wear): Apply a small dot of glue onto your natural nail and onto the press-on nail that corresponds. Place the press-on onto your natural nail at a 45° angle with the bottom of the press-on nail touching or slightly underneath your pushed back cuticle. Hold for approximately 30 seconds or until you feel the glue is dry. Repeat with all nails until finished.
Allergy Prevention/short term wear Method: Place a double sided adhesive tab onto your natural nail. Remove and discard the plastic layer. Push the corresponding press-on onto your natural nail using a little pressure.
Follow with cuticle oil or rosehip oil if you have it.
Please Note: Avoid submerging your nails in water as much as possible but for at least 3 hours after application to give the glue or tabs sufficient time to adhere.
Removal Instructions
Soak your nails in a bowl filled with warm soapy water (as hot as you can handle) for approximately 20 minutes. The water must be kept warm. You can do this by periodically adding a little more warm water when it starts to cool.
Using your cuticle pusher, try to gently pry off the nails. If they still need extra help to loosen, rub oil (cooking oil will be sufficient) around your cuticles before placing them back in the bowl to soak again.
Repeat these steps as many times as necessary until you are able to gently pop off the press-ons without any damage to your natural nails.
Wipe off the oil and water residue and store your press-ons with your kit.
To reuse: Remove the double sided adhesive tab and/or glue from the back of your press-on nails using your fingers, cuticle pusher or file and apply as before.
