1. Prepare Your Natural Nails
• Remove old polish: Clean your nails thoroughly with an acetone-based polish remover to strip away any oils or residue.
• Wash hands: Wash and dry your hands completely with soap.
• Prep cuticles: Gently push back your cuticles using the included manicure stick.
• Lightly buff: Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails to remove any shine or ridges, then wipe away the dust.
2. Select Your Nail Sizes
• Match each false nail to the correct finger and lay them out in order from thumb to pinky before opening the glue.
• Tip: The nail size number is printed on the underside of each artificial tip. If you are between sizes, go slightly larger rather than smaller so it doesn't pop off.
3. Apply the Glue and Press On
• Apply glue: Put a small amount of the included pink gel glue onto the back of the artificial nail, and a tiny drop onto your natural nail. The pink undertone of the glue helps enhance the natural French manicure look.
• Align and press: Align the false nail carefully with your cuticle line, lower it down at a 45-degree angle, and press down firmly.
• Hold: Hold the nail in place for 5 seconds (or up to 20–30 seconds for a tighter bond), making sure not to leave any air pockets.
• Clean up: Use the manicure stick with a bit of polish remover to wipe away any excess glue that squeezes out around the cuticle.
• Repeat for all ten fingers and wait about 60 seconds before using your hands.
4. Shape and Finish
• File or trim the tips if you want to tweak the shape or length.
• You can apply a clear top coat or finish with cuticle oil to hydrate your skin.
How to Remove Them Later
• Do not force or pull the nails off, as this can damage your natural nail bed.
• Trim and lightly file the surface of the artificial nail to break through the top coat.
• Apply KISS Glue Off remover or soak your fingers in an acetone polish remover until the acrylic and glue soften, then gently wipe them away
