How to prep your nails

- In your kit your nails will already be sized to your nails using the previous sizing method used when ordering your custom press ons

- if the press on nail is slightly too big use a nail file and file the sides of the press on nail

- if the nail is too small fill a mug with hot water and press the nail firmly to the side of the mug for a few seconds
(nail tips tend to shrink when I’m working on them)

- the nail should fit to cuticle perfectly if too straight or too curved, file to your shape with the included nail file

How to prep

- Cut down your natural nail

-Cut as short as possible, if you leave a lot of length then the nail will not have space to stick on properly

- Remove all dead skin near cuticles

-Push back the healthy cuticle line

- Any dead skin left on the nail surface will not let the glue stick properly to your nails

- file all over the nail surface, don’t let any part stay shiny (there is an included buffer block in your nail kit)

- Our nails produce natural oils, but glue cannot stick because of those oils

- soap, lotion and other skincare also have oils in them so wash your hands and wipe with the included alcohol wipe before applying and press ons

- filing your nail with remove oil and create a rough surface

- Nails should be 100% dry and rough for glue to stick

- Don’t leave dust on nails, glue will not stick properly

- Remove filing dust from nails with a brush or your alcohol wipe

-DON’T use your other fingers as oils will transfer over!


When applying the press ons

- See the white line? That’s your cuticle. Press on the nail away from that line, NOT on top!

- if you apply your nails directly on the cuticle they will lift

-the press on should sit above the cuticle

Lastly apply cuticle oil too keep your cuticles healthy
