STEP 1: PREP
- Wash feet with soap and water
- Shape nails and push back cuticles
- Use enclosed Prep Pad to ensure nails are clear from oils and residue
- Make sure your nails are completely dry before application
Pro Tip: Try Red Therapy Base Seal Treatment for GLOSS to hydrate and strengthen natural nails while extending the wear of GLOSS.
STEP 2: SELECT SIZE
- Select strip size for each nail. For optimal fit, the strip should not exceed past the nail bed onto skin or cuticles
- Gently lift strip from sheet starting from edge
Pro Tip: If you are in between sizes always choose the smaller size for proper adhesion
Pro Tip: Use a tweezer to lift strip from sheet more easily and limit compromising the adhesion.
STEP 3: APPLICATION
- Place strip over the center of your nail, starting at cuticle line and pressing outward
- Press down firmly from center and side to side
Pro Tip: Make sure strip is applied slightly above cuticle line, avoiding placement on skin.
STEP 4: FINISH
- Fold over excess material
- Position the nail file horizontally along the contour of your nail. With one sweeping motion, file firmly across your free edge. Be sure to file in one direction at a time, filing from side to side will tear the edges
Pro tip: If you have excessive material when folding strip over nail edge, trim with a scissor or nail clipper before filing.
Pro tip: For optimal adhesion, avoid exposing nails to lotions, oils or water for at least one hour after application.
HOW TO REMOVE:
- Apply a drop of cuticle oil or acetone remover onto your nail
- Use manicure stick to gently and slowly lift nail strip from corner of the cuticle area
- Gradually roll the strip off your nail
CAUTION: Do not peel off with force or in one quick motion.
