Sizing Instructions
Sizing
In order to properly size your nailbeds, you can either buy the sizing kit that I offer in my shop, or measure your nails.
Measure
You can either use a flexible measuring tape, or any form of tape with a ruler/large tape measure for this process.
Just ensure it has measurements in Millimeters. (There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. Most standard US measurement devices have centimeters opposing the inch side.)
✧ Measure with the tape (Or soft measuring tape) from the largest point of your nail wall from left to right.
✧ Mark the tape and put it on a measuring device to measure (or if using flexible measurer, note how many mm it shows on the measurer).
*** If it falls in the middle of a millimeter just round up to the nearest millimeter.
***You can always file a nail down a little if its too big. Just note that this can cause chipping by opening and exposing the layers of polish. You can prevent chipping if you want to add a top coat to the edge, do this at your own risk.
For example, my measurements are as follows:
Left (Pinky 8mm, Ring 11mm, Middle 12mm, Index 10mm, Thumb 14 mm)
Right (Pinky 8mm, Ring 11mm, Middle 12mm, Index 11mm, Thumb 14 mm)
When filling out your sizes when you are ordering please follow the standard, order Left; Pinky, Ring, Middle, Index, Thumb. Right; Pinky Ring, Middle, Index, Thumb.
Please abbreviate the finger you are referencing for mm. I.e.
L (P 10mm,R 11mm,M 12mm,I 10mm,T 14mm)
R (P 10mm,R 11mm,M 12mm,I 11mm,T 14mm)
But of course with your own sizes.
Care & Removal
Prep
In order to maintain the strength of the nails you must ensure proper application by prepping your natural nails;
✧ Pushing back cuticles
✧ Lightly buffing
✧ Shape nails with file to ensure the press-ons are larger than natural nail length
✧ wipe the nail bed with the provided alcohol wipes
✧ glue the nails on; add a dob of nail glue about 1/8 the size of your nail
✧ Firmly press and hold the nail on for approximately 20 seconds and then release. If there is any lifting re-apply the nail
__________________________________________
A few things to note
*I provide a cuticle oil for nail bed health, do not use this during the application of the nails. If you do during or directly after it will prevent the nails from adhering. This is an extra and is only to be used a couple hours or more after application.
*Save the cuticle pusher (Wood stick) for removal step. After nails are applied, wait a couple of hours before submerging hands into water as this can pre-maturely weaken the glue bond.
*Avoid using your nails as tools, as someone who is rough on nails, I get it! But try not to for the longevity of your nails
*Just be aware that any rough activities can cause them to come off early or chip.
Lastly, if anything happens to a nail, it gets lost broken etc you can always order a new single nail.

Removal
When the time comes to remove the nails;
✧ Grab a bowl of hot water (As hot is comfortable for you without burning yourself)
✧ Add some soap
✧ Add some oil
✧ Soak for approximately 20 minutes and begin to work the edges around your cuticles, or wherever it is already lifting off of your nailbed.
✧ Allow the water mixture to get under the nails and weaken the glue.
✧ Gently work them off.
* Forcing them off can cause damage to your natural nails and the press-ons. Use caution.
*I am not responsible for any damages, You, the customer is responsible for maintaining nail care when removing nails. I am not responsible for any harm to nailbeds. It is a risk to glue on nails, just like getting acrylics at a salon. You are adding foreign bulk to your nail and this can cause damage.
