To prep, push cuticles back with the wooden stick, then, file and buff the top of your natural nail to rough up the surface and finally wipe clean with the alcohol wipe. This also aids in the dehydration of nails for a better bond.Choose the correct size Les Tomes nail to fit each of your nail beds and lay out ready for application. If needed, file the lower side edges to line up with your cuticle line.

For long-term wear (2-3 weeks) apply an even layer of glue to the back of the Les Tomes Nail and your natural nail.Apply glue to one nail at a time, apply the nail and then repeat the process.For short-term wear (1-3 days) use adhesive tabs. Stick tab onto nail and smooth it out. Then, remove the transparent film from the top of the tab.

Align to your cuticle at a 45 degree angle and press firmly. Hold for 20 sec.When both hands are complete, some nails need a quick file to remove any excess plastic on the tip left from manufacturing.Avoid water for 1-2 hours until fully bonded. Keep remaining nails and tools in the signature Les Tomes pouch for on the go adjustments.
