Application
Sticky Tabs:
1. Gently press back cuticles with stick.
2. Using file, shape nails and gently buff top of nails to remove shine and any particles left on the nail. Be careful not to over file. Nails should be matte and chalky, but not dug into.
3. Wipe each nail with alcohol wipe. Let dry completely.
4. If any part of the nail is still shiny, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Before pealing off a tab, hold tabs up to nails and choose the size that best fits the nail without touching skin. If needed, trim the tab with scissors.
6. Once you have the correct size tab, peal from sheet and place sticky side on nail.
7. Peal off second side and discard plastic covering.
8. With the corresponding press on for that nail, gently position the press on over the sticky tab. Then press on firmly. Hold down for a few seconds to ensure adhesion.
9. Repeat on all 10 nails.
Nail glue:
1. Gently press back cuticles with stick.
2. Using file, shape nails and gently buff top of nails to remove shine and any particles left on the nail. Be careful not to over file. Nails should be matte and chalky, but not dug into.
3. Wipe each nail with alcohol wipe. Let dry completely.
4. If any part of the nail is still shiny, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Take a press on nail and flip over so top of nail is facing down. Add a few drops of glue to underside of the press on nail.
6. Turn press on nail over. Starting at the cuticle, place the press on onto the corresponding nail. Hold down firmly for several seconds to a minute to ensure adhesion. Check adhesion. If still loose, hold down longer or add more glue and repeat.

3 ways to Measure
1- Sizing Kit
1. Hold each press on to each of your nail beds and choose which size fits best. Press down so that it makes full contact with the nail bed. The size you choose should cover the entire nail bed from side wall to side wall, but not overlap onto the skin.
2. Be sure to measure each nail individually. For example, Your ring finger could be a 6 on your right hand and a 5 or 7 on your left hand.
-please note, sizing up is recommended for styles with lots of tapering at the tip (almond, coffin, stiletto, ballerina).
2- Tape & ruler
1. Place tape on top of the widest part of your nail.
2. Press down the tape on the right wall and the left wall of the nail.
3. Mark the creases where the nail and skin meet on both the right and left sides.
4. Carefully remove tape from nail.
5. Measure the marks with a ruler using the cm/mm side. 1 cm = 10 mm.
6. Continue for all ten nails and right sizes down.
-please note, if your nail measures between sizes, size up.
3- Soft Flexible Measuring Tape
1. Use the cm/mm side. 1 cm = 10 mm.
2. Place measuring tape directly onto your nail on the widest part.
3. Count the mm lines from one side of the nail to the other.
4. Write down your size.
5. Continue measuring all 10 nails.
-please note, if your nail measures between sizes, size up.
