APPLICATION WITH STICKERS
- Place the stickers on your nails sideways;
- Aplly heat on them with your hands;
- Place the tip at 45° on the edge and slide it down;
- Press it down and repeat for each finger.
Remember to keep your nails clean with a nail cleaning brush! (a toothbrush works too)
REMOVAL
- Soak your hands in a bowl filled with hot water and soap;
- With the cuticle pusher try to lift the edges of the tip carefully, do not force it;
- Keep your nails in the water until you can remove the safely.
The removal process for sticky tabs and glue is the same, stickers are much easier to remove. For glue please wear them at least 10/12 days before removing them, so that the glue can wear off a bit and to prevent any damage!
To remove the glue residue you can use the cuticle pusher + adhesive sandpaper or an e-file, if you own one. I've never tried it myself but I think that regular sandpaper would work as well.
