Nail Prep Instructions

Follow these simple steps for the best results.

Step-by-Step Prep

  1. Wash hands with soap and warm water, use a nail brush to clean under your natural nails.
  2. Push back cuticles gently.
  3. Buff the complete surface of the nail lightly
  4. Wipe nails with alcohol pad to remove oils.
  5. Let nails dry completely.
  6. Do not touch the nail bed until you have applied the nails. If you do touch it before application then clean it again with the alcohol pad.

Application & Care Tips

  • Avoid lotions or oils before applying.
  • Ensure nail tip is up right to the cuticle edge and it is straight not pointing to the left or the right.
  • Apply it at a 45 degree angle and slowly push it down onto the nail
  • Press & Hold for 60 seconds.
  • Do not submerge hands in water for at least 1 hour after application.
  • Wear gloves when cleaning, gardening, or doing dishes
  • Do not use acetone on the nail as it will remove the finish on the nail
  • Do not file the nails as this will remove the finish and cause the gel to lift or peel off
  • Do not use your nails as tools. Don’t open beverage cans with them, do not click them on surfaces, do not use them to scrape off stickers, countertops, etc, do not use them as a screwdriver. They are jewels not tools!

Glue Application

Remove the cap from the glue

  • Put a papertowel down onto your work area.
  • Remove the cap from the glue and snip off the tip of the applicator with a pair of scissors until the hole is large enough for the glue to come out of
  • Squeeze the glue applicator and apply a liberal amount of glue onto the underside of the nail tip up to the length of your natural nail, make sure it is covered from side to side, not dripping with glue but a good solid coverage up to the length of your natural nail. Then apply the glue onto your natural nail as well. * If you are having trouble squeezing the glue out use a pair of pliers to squeeze the glue applicator
  • Dab the end of the tip gently onto a papertowel to remove any excess glue from the edge so it does not go onto the top of the nail when you are applying it
  • Apply the nails on your dominant hand first then do your non dominant hand
  • When applying the nail make sure it is up close to the cuticle edge and apply it starting at a 45 degree angle and gently but firmly push it down onto your nail bed.
  • Hold it down firmly for 60 seconds

Adhesive Tab Application

  • Pick the nail tab that is closest to your natural nail shape
  • Apply it onto your natural nail, remove the top layer of the tab
  • Trim any excess length off of the tab with a pair of scissors
  • Take your nail tip and apply it up close to the cuticle edge at a 45 degree angle and gently but firmly push it down onto your nail bed.
  • Hold it down firmly for 60 seconds

Removal

  • Get setup to soak while watching your favorite show or You Tube Channel
  • Prepare 2 bowls with warm water, 2 tbsp of olive oil or coconut oil in each bowl, a squirt of dish soap in each bowl. Swish around till soapy
  • Put your hands into the bowls and let sit for 20 minutes
  • Gently start to lift the sides of the nail with your cuticle stick
  • Soak them again for another 10-20 minutes until you can gently remove them
  • Never force removal as this will damage your nail beds.
