Wash hands thoroughly, push back cuticles and gently buff the nail surface. Use the prep pads to remove oil, dust and residue, then allow the nails to dry completely.
Select the strip that best fits each nail. If between sizes, choose the smaller option and stretch slightly if needed. Apply to the centre of the nail close to the cuticle without touching it, then press firmly across the entire nail. Use the wooden stick to smooth the edges and remove any air bubbles.
Trim the excess length using nail clippers or scissors. Press the strip firmly along the nail edge before curing.
Cure under an LED lamp for 60 seconds. Check that the strips are fully hardened and sealed. If needed, cure for an additional 60 seconds. Avoid exposing unused strips to the LED lamp during this step.
File the edges to remove excess material and refine the shape. For a longer-lasting, glossy finish, apply a gel top coat if desired.
