CURE

STEP 1

Clean & Prep

• Wash hands with soap and water. Let dry.
• Push back cuticles.
• Use Prep Pad to clean nails thoroughly. Let dry.

STEP 2

Pick your size

• Hold the sheet on your nails to find the best match, pick the strip that is slightly smaller than your nail.

STEP 3

Peel & Apply

• Peel off one strip at a time.
• Remove the clear film, then gently lift one strip from the backing.
• Hold the strip over your nail to line it up evenly before applying.
• Gently stretch it to fit your nail size if needed.
• Place the strip slightly above your cuticle line.
• Press down firmly to smooth out any wrinkles.

STEP 4

Trim & Fold

• Use a nail scissor/clipper to trim the srtip, leaving an excess, a little bit longer than your nail.
• Fold down the excess over the tip of your nail.

STEP 5

File downwards

• File off the excess in a downward motion only.
• After filing, press down firmly once all over again.

STEP 6

Cure

• Cure under UV light for 60 seconds. If you feel the strip is still soft, cure it again.
• Keep your leftover strips away from UV light when curing your nails.

HOW TO REMOVE

• Rub cuticle oil into your nails.
• Use the enclosed stick to slowly lift the nail strip from the cuticle corners. Gradually push the strip off each nail.

EXTRA TIPS

• Before application, avoid any hand lotion, cream and cuticle oils as they will affect how well the nail strips adhere to your nails.
• Avoid contact with water for at least 4 hours after application. Do not put any hand lotion on your hands immediately.
• Recommend applying nail strips after shower and before bed, so they have enough time to adhere properly to your nails.
• Angle the nail file at 45-degree away from your nail and file in a downward motion only. *Side-to-side or upper motion will cause the nail strip to flip or tear unevenly.
• Top coat or UV gel top coat will add an extra shiny finish. Remember to cap around the edges of your nail tips.
• The secret to getting a manicure lasts longer is to take care of your hands - Avoid direct contact with chemicals and soaking in hot water for too long, so wear gloves when doing dishes, cleaning and other wet jobs. Also, be gentle with your nails; do not use your nails like tools, such as opening cans.
