Nail Care & Application

Your nails can be attached using either liquid nail glue or double-sided gel adhesive tabs. Don't forget to use the items included in your prep kit!

Step 1: Wash and thoroughly dry your hands and natural nails.

Step 2: Carefully gently push back your cuticles.

Step 3: Trim or file your natural nails down and shape them neatly.

Step 4:Wipe each nail bed down with an alcohol prep pad to remove natural oils and moisture.

Step 5:Dry-fit every press-on nail first to guarantee a flawless match. If a nail is too wide, gently file down the sides or the cuticle edge to fit your natural nail bed. 

Step 6:Apply your glue or adhesive tabs to attach the nails one at a time. Press down firmly starting at the cuticle and rocking forward to the tip, holding steady for 15 to 30 seconds to secure the bond.

Step 7:Keep your hands completely dry and avoid water for at least one hour after application.

💡 Pro-Tips:

Everyone's body chemistry is unique! Feel free to swap out the included glue for your personal favorite brand.

For the longest-lasting wear, apply a nail primer right before your adhesive to completely dehydrate the nail plate. Budget-friendly options like IBD or other high-quality primers and structural adhesives can be found at local beauty supply shops like Sally Beauty.

💤The best time to apply nails is right before bed. This allows your nails time to properly adhere with minimal interference. 

When pressing your enhancements into place, be careful not to distort the natural "C" curve of the extension. Avoid pressing down so hard that the nail flattens completely, and don't squeeze the side edges too tightly. Over-bending the structure can cause the gel overlays, topcoats, or charms to lift away from the base nail.

Special Care for Luxe Finishes:

Sets featuring 3D gems, chrome powder, caviar microbeads, or metallic foils are delicate, luxury items. They require extra care and are not designed for heavy, hands-on labor or rigorous daily wear and tear. Please keep in mind that losing an occasional rhinestone over time is a normal part of wearing elaborate nail art.
