Size first, tabs later
Lay every tip on the matching nail before you peel any adhesive tab. The right tip covers your natural nail sidewall to sidewall without pressing into skin.
Two Minutes, No Lamp
How to apply
Six steps from bare nail to salon set, plus the size chart that comes in every box.
Buff and cleanse
Push back cuticles, lightly buff the shine of the nail plate, then wipe with the prep pad. Surface oil, moisture, poor sizing, and everyday wear can all reduce adhesion.
Apply the jelly tab
Choose the closest-fitting jelly tab, place it flat on the natural nail and smooth it down so there are no folds or trapped air.
Press from the cuticle
Align the press-on just above the cuticle, lower it onto the tab and press firmly across the center and sidewalls until secure.
Shape and seal
File the free edge only if needed, then give the adhesive time to settle before prolonged water exposure.
Remove gently
Soak in warm soapy water to soften the adhesive, then lift gently from the sidewall with the cuticle stick. Never force or pull a tip off dry.
Fit Guide
Find the tip that fits your nail
Skip the generic millimetre chart. Press-on dimensions can vary by shape, so the most reliable method is to dry-fit the actual tips in your set before applying the jelly tabs.
24tips in every set
12sizes to try
Too small
Natural nail shows at the sides
Move up a size. A tip that is too narrow can feel tight and may lift sooner.
Best fit
Sidewall to sidewall, without touching skin
The tip should sit flush over the natural nail with no exposed edges and no pressure on the surrounding skin.
Too wide
Tip overlaps the sidewalls or skin
Try the next size down. If the closest size is only slightly wide, gently file the side edges a little at a time until it sits flush.
Before you apply
Dry-fit all ten nails first
Do this before peeling any jelly tab. It takes a minute and makes the finished manicure look cleaner and stay more secure.
- 1Lay out the tips
Start with the widest tips for your thumbs, then work toward the smallest nails.
- 2Press each tip down lightly
Check the fit at the cuticle and both sidewalls rather than judging it while the tip is hovering above the nail.
- 3Adjust only if needed
If a tip is just slightly wide, file the side edge gradually and re-check the fit so you do not over-file it.
- 4Remember your fit
If the tips are numbered underneath, note the number that fits each finger to make your next application faster.
Why there is no universal width chart
Exact tip dimensions can differ between shapes and molds. A single generic millimetre table can therefore give a false sense of precision. Fit the actual set you are wearing instead.
Make it last longer
Wear gloves for washing up, avoid prolonged hot water during the first hour after application, and store removed tips safely. Reuse depends on the condition of each tip and how gently it was removed.
