Shapes can vary in width, depth, and apex, so use a sizing kit for each new shape before placing a custom order. Sample the length and shape you want, too.

1. Begin with clean, bare nails—without polish or extensions. Test a tip on every finger of both hands.
2. Choose a size that covers the nail from sidewall to sidewall and rests comfortably without pressing hard. If you are between sizes, choose the larger tip and gently file its sides for a better fit.
3. Record your left- and right-hand sizes on the sizing card and keep it for future custom orders.

Basic kit: 10 unpainted, numbered tips in sizes 0–9 and a sizing information card. Coordinated kit: 10 painted, numbered tips in sizes 0–9, a sizing card, and your choice of color and matte or gloss finish. Coordinated tips can also be worn as accent nails.

Each new nail set includes a complimentary application kit with the essentials to prepare and apply your press-ons:

• Nail glue: An adhesive option for securing press-ons; follow its manufacturer’s application and removal directions.
• Adhesive tabs: A second adhesive option. Use either tabs or glue, not both together, and follow the product directions.
• Buffer and nail file: Help with gentle nail preparation and small fit adjustments.
• Wooden cuticle stick: For gently pushing back cuticles.
• Alcohol wipes: Help clean natural nails before application.

These custom, handmade press-on nails are hand-painted. Take time to fit and arrange the set before applying.

1. With clean, dry nails, test each tip and arrange the nails in order. Gently push back cuticles. File natural nails or tip edges as needed for fit.
2. Lightly buff the shine from your natural nails—avoid aggressive filing. Wipe away dust and oils with an alcohol wipe, then let nails dry completely.
3. Choose adhesive tabs or nail glue and follow that adhesive manufacturer’s application directions. Do not combine adhesives.
4. Starting on your non-dominant hand, apply from pinky to thumb. Align each tip near the cuticle without pressing onto the skin, then press and hold as directed for the adhesive. Repeat on the other hand.

Avoid soaking or wetting your hands for at least one hour after application, or longer if the adhesive directions require. Apply only to healthy, intact nails; stop if you experience pain or irritation.

Go slowly to protect both your natural nails and decorated press-ons. Gather cuticle oil, a bowl, a wooden stick, a buffer or file, soap, and comfortably warm water—not hot water.

1. Wash your hands and apply cuticle oil around the nail edges. Soak in warm, soapy water for about 10 minutes.
2. Check only an edge that has already loosened, using a gentle touch. If you feel resistance, do not pry, rock, or force the nail. Soak again in fresh, comfortably warm water and repeat as needed; it may take multiple cycles.
3. Warm water may not release firmly bonded glue. If the nail does not loosen, follow the adhesive manufacturer’s removal instructions and use only a remover they recommend. Do not use acetone on reusable decorated press-ons.
4. After removal, dry your hands. Gently remove residue from natural nails without over-buffing, then apply cuticle oil or moisturizer.
5. For reuse, let the press-ons dry, then gently remove adhesive residue from the underside with a hand buffer or file. Do not file the decoration. Store the clean nails dry. Before applying another set, start with clean, dry nails free of oil.

Stop if you feel pain or notice irritation. Do not apply press-ons to damaged or unhealthy nails.
