How To Apply Nail Strips

HOW TO APPLY

1. PREP
   Gently push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher.
2. CLEAN
   Clean each nail with the alcohol prep pad to remove oil and residue. Allow nails to dry completely.
3. CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
   Select a strip that fits your nail from side to side without touching the skin or cuticle. If between sizes, choose the smaller strip.
4. APPLY
   Peel off the strip and place it just above the cuticle. Press firmly from the center outward, smoothing away any wrinkles or air bubbles. Use a tweezer and pusher tool for precision application. Do not apply the strip to your skin.
5. TRIM AND FILE
   Fold the excess strip over the tip of your nail. Hold the nail file at a 90-degree angle and file downward to remove the excess. Do not file from side to side.
6. FINISH
   Press firmly around the edges and tip of each nail to seal the strip. No curing lamp is required.

TIPS FOR LONGER WEAR

• Apply to clean, completely dry nails.
• Avoid water, lotion and oil for at least 2 hours after application.
• Make sure the strips do not touch your skin or cuticles.
• For best adhesion, apply the strips when your hands are warm.
• If desired, apply a compatible air-dry top coat for added protection.

HOW TO REMOVE

1. Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 3–5 minutes.
2. Apply cuticle oil or nail-strip remover around the edges.
3. Gently lift the strip from the side using the wooden stick. Slowly work underneath the strip until it releases. Do not pull or force it off.
4. Remove any remaining adhesive with an alcohol pad.
