How to: Size, Prep, Apply Remove Nails
How to size your nails using a sizing kit
Sizing
Sizing kits are the most accurate way to measure your nails and they are highly recommended for all new customers.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Each sizing kit includes one nail in every size in the shape/length of your choice. Some shapes have different sizing so you do need a sizing kit for each shape that you'd like to wear!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Start off with clean bare nails as anything left on can throw off the sizing.
- Sizing might not be the same on both hands so size EACH finger on BOTH hands.
- The nail should fit sidewall to sidewall with light pressure, you shouldn't have to force the nail down. That can cause lifting when you do apply the nails.
- If you are in between sizes, always go with the larger size. Once your nails arrive you can file the sides for a better fit.
- Write down your sizes on the bottom of the sizing kit from thumb to pinky. Once you send me your sizes, I do keep a record of your preferred shape and your sizes for future orders!
How to apply your nails
Application
With proper prep & application, your press-ons should last up to 2 weeks!
Each nail set comes with a nail prep kit that includes: liquid nail glue, alcohol pad, cuticle stick, mini nail buffer, and a mini nail file.
Avoid water 1 hour before AND after application to prevent lifting!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Push back and prep your cuticles as this will help for a more natural look
- Buff your nail beds, it gives your nail glue a textured surface to grip onto
- Clean your nails with alcohol to remove oils, dust, and residue which can cause lifting
- Once your nails are buffed & cleaned, apply an even layer of glue to your natural nail and press on nail. Press down at a 45 degree angle and hold down for 10-15 seconds
Best when applied before bed and avoid any lotions/oils for at least an hour after application!
HOW TO REMOVE YOUR NAILS
Removal
All sets are reusable up to 5x with proper removal!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Fill a bowl with warm water, oil, and soap
- Soak for 10-15 minutes
- Afterwards, use cuticle pusher to gently lift edge of nails
- They should slide off easily, if not DO NOT force it off! just soak the nails for 5-10 more minutes
- Buff any remaining glue off your natural nails and wash hands (apply lotion & cuticle oil after)
PREP TO REUSE NAILS
- Buff off any remaining glue off press ons (with an e-file, buffer, or nail file)
- Clean with alcohol, dry and store them in a container
