Full Coverage Nails & Toe Tips
Often referred to as glue on, press on or stick on nails, this product can be applied two different ways and gives an instant manicure with the look of acrylic nails.
For Sticker Application
1. Clean nails and wipe with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to remove any oils from the nail surface.
2. Very lightly buff the surface of the nail just to remove the shine.
3. Select the appropriate size sticker for the nail, peel it off the backing paper and apply smoothly to the nail surface.
4. Peel away the wax paper cover to expose the top adhesive.
5. Select the appropriate size nail. Nails can be filed on the sides for a perfect fit. Place the nail firmly and directly into position. Do not slide or move the nail around on the natural nail surface.
6. Do not wash hands or immerse nails in water for at least 30 minutes after application.
Removal: Soak nails for a few minutes in cold water. Slowly lift an outside edge and gradually lift up the nail. Do not remove quickly or with a jerking motion as this could damage your natural nails.
For Glue Application
1. Select the appropriate size nail for each finger. Nails can be filed on the sides for a perfect fit.
2. Clean nails and wipe with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to remove any oils from the nail surface.
3. Apply nail glue to the back of the nail on the area that will make contact with the natural nail. Also apply a thin layer to the natural nail surface. We recommend a brush-on type pink gel nail glue.
4. Starting at the cuticle, line up the base of the nail and then lower the rest of the nail and hold in place until set - usually about 10 seconds.
5. Clean any excess glue around the edges with a paper towel or orange stick.
Removal: Trim off excess nail and buff surface. Soak nails in acetone based nail polish remover. Wipe off softened nail and glue. Repeat soaking if necessary.
Tips for Wearing Full Coverage Nails
1. Coat nails with a clear topcoat for added shine and protection. Add an additional layer of topcoat every 3 - 4 days.
2. Do not use your nails as tools or to open things.
3. Wear gloves when immersing nails in water for long periods of time.
4. Do not wear nails for longer than 7 days at a time.

Full Nail Fusion Decals
General Instructions – Our decals are unlike others you may have tried – so please read the directions through the first time you use them for best results! Fusion Decals are not stickers, they will “fuse” with your base coat for beautiful results!
1. Paint your nails. We recommend a white or light silver base coat to best show the colors of the decal, other light shades of polish work but give a more subtle appearance to the decal.
2. Select the decal you want to apply and cut it out from the decal sheet. a. Trim to fit if necessary to fit your nail on the bottom and sides, but do not trim the outside edge. It will be smoothed off once the topcoat is dry (Step 5) OR b. NO TRIM APPLICATION: Apply the decal without trimming and let the edges hang over on your finger. After the topcoat is dry (Step 6), simply pull away the excess decal with your finger or use an orange wood stick with cotton dipped in nail polish remover or polish remover pen (like you would clean up normal nail polish smudges.)
3. Place the decal in water for 15 - 30 seconds. Gently slide the decal off of the paper backing and place face down on a paper towel for about 10 seconds. Place a drop or two of rubbing alcohol** on your nail (or wipe with an alcohol soaked pad) and press the decal in the desired position on your nail. The alcohol will adhere the decal to your nail and make the decal more flexible to adjust to the contours of your nails. Smooth out the decal with your finger. **Rubbing alcohol is also known as isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or surgical spirit and is available at most drugstores. You can apply the decals without alcohol, but application will be a bit more difficult.**
5. Apply topcoat – fully load your brush and reload with each brush stroke. The decal will soften when it touches the top coat and fuse with your base coat - so you want to carefully “float” the top coat over the design. Apply topcoat in three strokes, reloading for the 2nd and 3rd strokes. Additional brushing or attempts to reposition the decal at this point could smudge or tear the design. Allow extra drying time since you just applied a thick coat. 6. Once the topcoat is dry you can then lightly file off the excess decal at the tip with a nail file in a downward motion. Also clean away any excess decal around the edge of the nail. Add a second coat of top coat to seal the edge and protect the design. Reapply a topcoat every 2 – 3 days.

Layering Decals
For best results when layering one decal over another, always add a clear topcoat on top of the first decal and wait until completely dry before adding the second decal. For example, with the spider decal, apply the web decal first, add topcoat and let dry, then add the spider decal, followed by a second topcoat.
