Start with clean, dry nails by pushing back cuticles and lightly buffing the nail surface to remove oils. Peel off the nail sticker and place it onto the nail, starting at the cuticle and smoothing toward the tip. Press firmly from the center to the edges to remove any air bubbles, trimming excess if needed. For longer wear, finish with a clear top coat and allow it to fully dry. Avoid water for at least one hour after application for best results.
