Nail preparation

First, clean and prepare your hands. Use a nail file to shape your natural nails and remove any polish or residue with a non-abrasive remover. Proper nail preparation is essential for the stickers to adhere well.

Step 1: Push back the cuticles

Use a cuticle pusher or stick to gently push back the cuticles. This enlarges the nail surface for applying artificial nails and ensures a clean, seamless finish.

Step 2: Mattify the natural nail

Using a buffing block, gently buff the surface of your nails. This creates better adhesion for the sticker and prevents the false nails from peeling off prematurely.

Step 3: Clean the nail

Clean each nail thoroughly with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol to remove any traces of dust or oil. This ensures that the sticker will adhere properly to the nail.

Step 4: Apply the adhesive

Choose an adhesive suitable for the size of your natural nail. Remove the protective film and place the adhesive on your nail, aligning it carefully at the base near the cuticle.

Step 5: Apply the false nail

Take the false nail that matches the size of your natural nail and carefully apply it to the adhesive, starting at the edge near the cuticles to minimize air bubbles. Press firmly for optimal adhesion.

Artificial nail care

To maintain the appearance of your artificial nails, clean them regularly with a soft nail brush. Avoid harsh products such as solvents or acetates, which could damage the adhesive or the artificial nails themselves.
