1. Wash Hands: Wash your hands thoroughly and let them dry completely.

2. Push Back Cuticles: Use the provided cuticle tool to gently push back your cuticles.

3. Buff Nails: Lightly file the surface of your nails with the nail file to create a slightly rough texture.

4. Clean with Alcohol Pad: Use the alcohol prep pad to remove natural oils, then let nails dry. Avoid touching your nail surface afterward to prevent reintroducing oils, ensuring better adhesive hold.

5. Choose sticky tabs (recommended) or nail glue and follow the instructions below. Sticky tabs are for shorter wear, but gentler to the nails.
