Step 1: Prep Your Natural Nails
1. Clean: Remove any old nail polish and wash your hands thoroughly. Wipe your nail beds with polish remover or an alcohol wipe to strip away natural oils so the glue grips better.
2. Groom: Push back your cuticles gently using a manicure stick.
3. Trim: Clip or file down your natural nails so they do not poke out past the edge of the false nails.
Step 2: Size and Layout
1. Match sizes: Hold up each artificial nail to your natural fingers to find the correct fit. The nail should sit comfortably side-to-side without overlapping your skin.
2. Organize: Lay the 10 chosen nails out in order from thumb to pinky on your workspace. (Tip: Save your thumbs for last so you have full dexterity while applying the rest.)
Step 3: Application (Choose Your Method)
Option A: Using Nail Glue (For a longer-lasting hold up to 7+ days)
1. Apply a small amount of the pink glue to the bottom/center of your natural nail.
2. Apply a thin layer of glue to the inside base of the Kiss false nail.
3. Align the false nail right against your cuticle line (not overlapping the skin), then press down firmly.
4. Hold and secure: Press and hold the nail down firmly for 5 to 20 seconds to seal the bond and prevent air bubbles.
5. Wipe away any glue that seeps out the sides immediately with a cotton swab or tissue.
Option B: Using Adhesive Tabs (For a temporary, easy-swap look)
1. Select the sticky tab size that matches your natural nail and peel it off the backing.
2. Apply the sticky tab to your natural nail, smooth it down, and peel off the top protective film.
3. Align the Kiss gel nail near your cuticle, press down from the center outwards, and hold firmly. (Avoid washing your hands for 1 hour after applying with tabs).
