Tip 1: Before application, carefully clean the cuticle area. This step is essential, because dead skin at the base of the nail is the main cause of premature lifting and poor adhesion. Gently push back your cuticles and, if you wish, remove excess skin with cuticle nippers or by lightly buffing with the included nail file. Then make sure your nails are completely free of oils and residue by wiping them with the included prep pad.
Tip 2: Press firmly around the cuticle area and across the entire nail using the included wooden stick. Then press and smooth the whole surface with your finger, making sure there are no gaps left between the press-on nail and your natural nail.
