- Size Tipsie nails by placing them on top of your finger and finding your best fit.
- Natural nails must be clean and dry and free of polish. Push back cuticles with cuticle stick.
- Buff natural nails with nail file and wipe clean with alcohol wipe.
- Apply a generous layer of glue to your nail for long-term wear OR apply a sticky tab to your nail for short-term wear.
- Align Tipsie nail to cuticle at a 45-degree angle and press down for 20 seconds.
- File nail to your desired shape and length.
TIPS:
- To ensure your nails last, keep them dry for the first hour after application to allow time for the adhesive to properly set.
- Wipe each nail clean with the alcohol wipe right before application to ensure oils from skin are not interfering.
- Cut and file your nails to a similar shape and length to the press on - this will allow for more surface area to adhere to the press-on.
- Soak nails in a mixture of warm water, soap and oil for 15-20 minutes.
- Gently lift Tipsie nails off natural nail. Re-soak nails if required.
- Buff excess glue off nails after removal.
TIPS:
- Nails that have been freshly applied with glue will be much harder to remove so we recommend using sticky tabs for short-term wear.
- Nails will naturally start to lift after 2-3 weeks of wear - massage oil into the lifted sections to aid in the removal process.
- Use the cuticle stick to help gently lift nails.
- If you need to immediately remove freshly glued on nails, soaking your hands in acetone will break down the glue. Press-ons will not be reusable after using this method.
