Nail installation:

1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water, then dry well.

2. Using the orange wood stick, push back all of your cuticles well.

3. With file, buff all shine off your nails, focus on side walls of your nails and close to your cuticle line. Use orange buffer to help get any areas you missed.

4. Wipe nails with alcohol wipes as well as possible, use 1 wipe for each hand and really focus on cleaning sidewalls and cuticle area.

Note: (be careful with not touching your nail beds with fingertips after prep, you don't want the oils from fingers to get on your nail beds)

For EXTENDED wear (2-3 weeks) go to step 5.

For SINGLE day wear go to step 7.

READ CAREFULLY THROUGH THESE NEXT STEPS BEFORE APPLYING. If you are confused on these next steps please message or call me and I will explain.

(tip: try to work as quickly as possible, glue that comes in the kit dries very quickly and it's STRONG make sure you don't apply nail crooked! Also, you get a more flawless look if your able to slightly "tuck" the press on nail under your cuticle).

5.  Apply a thin layer of glue on back of nail (basically enough that will cover your nail bed)

6. When applying, start by pushing the bottom of nail close to cuticle line at a 45 degree angle then when pushing nail down, start at base and firmly work your way to the tip. Hold firmly for about 4-5 seconds. do this with all 10 nails then you're done! Follow the soak off procedure to safely remove the nails without damaging your nails or your beautiful set!

Note: I DO NOT recommend you use this method for short time wear, it will take a VERY long time to remove nails freshly glued (up to 2-3 hours properly removed). Scroll down to my new method of gluing them on or just use the tabs in your install kit.

7. Instead, use the sticky tabs in the kit. (If you run out you can order more on Amazon, kit will come with enough for 1-2 time uses)

8. Apply the appropriate size tabs (may need 2 tabs depending on length of your nail beds) on back of nails then apply to nail pressing nail firmly from cuticle line (try to "tuck" nail under cuticle for a more "flawless" look)

***UPDATE!! NEW METHOD FOR 1-2 day wear!***

Don't like using the nail tabs? READ THESE STEPS! This will allow you to install your nails using nail glue but still allow you to soak them off in just 20 min!

1. wash your hands thoroughly! You don't want bacteria to grow underneath your press ons.

2. Grab a good moisturizing lotion and apply them to your hands and nails, DO NOT BUFF or use alcohol! Instead just GENTLY wipe off excessive lotion from your nails with a paper towel or even just pat the lotion off (you still want to keep a really small amount of oil on your nails to keep them moisturized them prior to gluing.

3.  Apply a thin layer of glue on back of press on nail (basically enough that will cover your nail bed)

NAIL REMOVAL:

Things needed:
1. Microwave safe bowl (I prefer medium glass or ceramic bowl)
2. Cuticle pusher (you can use the orange wood stick that came in your kit however a metal one will be more effective)
3. Cuticle Oil (optional)
4. Warm water
5. Dish soap or body wash
6. Sugar scrub (optional)

***DO NOT USE OIL OR SCRUB ON MATTE NAILS IT WILL CHIP THE MATTE FINISH**

-mixture:
     *warm water (the hotter the better, but don't burn
       yourself!)
     *Dish soap or body wash- about 1-2 table spoons for every
       8oz of water
    *(optional) sugar scrub- 1 table spoon for every 8oz of
       water.

Steps for removal:

1. Apply cuticle oil generously around cuticles and underneath nails, the tips of natural nails (again this is optional, this just helps the nails come off quicker)

2. Soak nails in bowl of mixture. (If using tabs you only need to Soak for about 5 minutes, if using glue please leave nails soaking for at least 20-30 min prior to next step) BE PATIENT they will come off I promise!

3. Bend your nails from side to side ONLY to start to loosen up the nails and use your cuticle pusher to push around the side of the nails (if it hurts DO NOT force the nails off, continue soaking , if the water gets cold microwave for 30 seconds, check temperature and add for 10 second increments there after until you achieve the desired temperature)

4. Once you remove all nails, wipe them clean, place them back in your jewelry box and save for later!

Note: If nails were installed using my "extended wear" method and worn for the full 2-3 weeks or you followed my *new method* to install them then removal will only take about 20-45 min. The longer you wear them the quicker they will come off. If you've only been wearing them with the glue for LESS than a week using my "extended wear" method you can remove them with the solution but it may 1-3 hours to remove. Put on your favorite show or movie and be patient! If removed properly your nails will still be healthy and undamaged underneath.
