How to attach your nails

WITH GLUE TABS:

1. Clean your hands and let them dry completely 
2. Carefully push back your cuticles using the stick tool that is included in your order
3. Buff the surface of the natural nail using a soft nail file/buffer, you only have to remove the shiny layer on top, not more!
4. Clean the nails with alcohol, example hand sanitizer. Try not to touch the nails after this step
5. Measure a glue tab that fits your natural nail, it should cover as much of the nail as possible without touching the skin 
6. Attach the glue tab, do NOT remove the upper plastic yet. Use a finger or the stick tool to rub over the glue tab to make it attach as much as possible.
For an even better grip: use a hair drier to apply some heat for 3-5 seconds before the next step. Do not hold the drier too close, you should just get some heat on the glue tab, not burn your finger. 
7. Use the stick tool to gently remove the upper plastic
8. Apply the nails on your dominant hand first. Place the nail at the base of your natural nail right above the cuticle. Fold it downwards, hold and press for about 10-20 seconds. Done!

WITH NAIL GLUE:

Follow step 1-4 above, then: 

5. Apply a thin layer of nail glue over your natural nail (avoid contact with cuticles) and over the raffled part of the press on nail (the part that attaches to your natural nail, turn your nails upside down to see the raffled part)
6. Apply the nails on your dominant hand first. Place the nail at the base of your natural nail right above the cuticle. Fold it downwards, hold and press for about 20-30 seconds. Done!

How to remove the nails

If you used glue tabs:
Use the stick-tool, gently press it in between the press-on nail and your natural nail on the side. Pull the stick back and forth on both sides until the nail comes off

If you used glue: 

You need: Acetone 100% and a wooden stick tool 

1. Soak the nails with acetone, you can either:
- use a container filled with acetone, dip the fingertips in it for about 15-20 min 
- soak cotton pad pieces in acetone and apply them on the nails, make sure they hold tight, you can use nail clips or aluminum foil that holds the cotton in place, let this be for 20-30 min 
2. Gently press the stick-tool in between the press-on nail and your natural nail on the side. Pull the stick back and forth on both sides until the nail comes off.

NEVER rip the nails off, if hard to remove use another round of acetone and try again.

Nail Care

After removal with glue tabs: 
1. Carefully remove the glue tab by gently pulling it off the nail with your fingers OR use the stick-tool to push the glue tab off
2. Clean the inside of the nail with alcohol
3. Store the nails in a dry, dust free place 
4. Use nail oil on natural nails to hydrate them

After removal with glue:
1. Apply some acetone to a cotton pad
2. Gently wipe the glue residue until it dissolves 
- If hard to get all glue off, you can let the cotton pad with acetone rest on the nails on the glue residue for a few minutes before you wipe it off
3. Wipe the nails with alcohol
4. Store in a dry, dust free place
5. Use nail oil on natural nails to hydrate them
