How to apply:

1. Wash, trim, push back cuticles.

2. Buff off shine; wipe with alcohol.

3. Size all tips; buff inside lightly.

4. Glue: dot center + thin swipe; apply at 45°, press 30s.
   —or— Tabs: apply tab, peel, press 45°.

5. File to finish; top coat optional.

6. Keep dry 2–3 hrs; oil later.

   Remove with warm soapy water + oil—never rip.

Aftercare for longevity

• Keep dry for 2–3 hours post-application (no long hot showers, dishwashing, saunas).

• Gloves for cleaning, hair care, and dishes.

• Daily cuticle oil keeps them flexible and comfy.

• Top coat every 2–3 days to refresh shine and add strength.

• If an edge lifts: cleanse with alcohol, add a tiny bit of glue under the lift, press 20–30 sec.

Safe removal (never rip off)

Glue sets:

1. Soak nails in warm soapy water + a few drops of oil for 10–15 min.

2. Gently wiggle from the sidewalls; if it resists, soak longer.

3. Use an oiled floss (dental floss wrapped around two fingers) to slide under only if it’s already lifting—don’t force.

4. Remove leftover glue with an oil-soaked orangewood stick or a tiny touch of acetone on a cotton swab.

5. Wash, dry, and oil nails.

Adhesive tabs:

• Warm, soapy water for 5–10 min, then peel off from the side slowly.

Reusing the set:

• Gently file out old glue from the inside of the press-on (or use a little acetone on a cotton swab), sanitize, dry completely.

Troubleshooting

• They pop off fast: prep wasn’t dry/oil-free, or tips were too small/tight. Re-size, re-dehydrate, and avoid water for a few hours.

• Lifting at cuticle: press-on was touching skin or you flooded glue onto skin. Leave a tiny gap and use less glue near the cuticle.

• Air bubbles: use the dot-plus-swipe glue pattern and apply at an angle; steady pressure for 20–30 sec.

• Sidewall soreness: tip too narrow—resize or file the tip wider.
