Just 5 Simple Steps
1. PUSH BACK CUTICLES:
Use the cuticle tool to gently push back cuticles.
2. BUFF NAILS:
Lightly buff nails to create a rough surface.
3. WIPE NAILS:
Clean nails with alcohol wipe and let dry.
Don’t touch nails after wiping to avoid oil transfer.
4. APPLY GEL GLUE:
After prepping your nails, apply a small, pea-sized amount of glue to the center of your natural nail.
5. CURE UNDER UV LIGHT:
Align the press-on nail at a 45° angle near the cuticle, then press down to secure. Place your finger under a UV lamp and cure for 60 seconds to set the glue completely.
STEP 1
Remove cuticles
Use the enclosed manicure stick or a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles and remove the thin layer of cuticle on your nail bed. This step helps extend the durability of your manicure. Thoroughly clean your nails with the enclosed alcohol pad. Remember, proper application and cleanliness are crucial; how well you follow these steps greatly impacts the longevity of your manicure.
STEP 2
Nail Filing
Using a nail file, gently brush the surface of your nails to smooth out any unevenness. This step prepares your nails for the best possible adhesion, ensuring a longer-lasting manicure. After filing, clean your nails thoroughly with the enclosed alcohol pad. Proper preparation is key—how well you follow these steps will significantly affect the durability of your manicure.
STEP 3
Prepare
Before applying the UV gel strips, thoroughly clean your nails using the provided alcohol pads. This step removes oils, dirt, and any residue that might prevent the strips from adhering properly. Ensure each nail is completely dry after cleaning to achieve the best results.
STEP 4
APPLY GEL GLUE
After completing your nail prep, apply a small, pea-sized amount of gel glue to the center of your natural nail. Gently spread it toward the edges for even coverage, but avoid applying too much. Using excess glue can cause it to overflow around the sides when pressure is applied, leading to messiness and poor adhesion. Keep the glue away from the cuticle and skin to ensure a clean, strong bond.
STEP 5
CURE UNDER UV LIGHT
Carefully align the press-on nail at a 45° angle near the cuticle, ensuring it sits straight and snug against your natural nail. Press down firmly to remove any air bubbles and create full contact. While holding the nail in place, place your finger under a UV lamp and cure for 60 seconds. This step is essential to fully set the gel glue and lock the press-on nail securely in place. Make sure not to move the nail during curing to avoid misalignment.
