Pro-Tip: Apply before bed. This allows glue to fully dry and creates a strong hold.

1. Find a clean, flat, dust-free and stable place to work.
2. Open the Prep Kit that was included with your order or prepare your own personal prep kit. Each SugarCookie Nails Prep Kit will include : Two (2) Alcohol Wipes, One (1) Nail Buffing Stick, One (1) Mini Nail File, One (1) Nail Glue or Nail Adhesive Tab Sheet, One (1) Cuticle Stick, and One (1), Two (2) Cuticle Wipes, and a copy of application instructions.
3. Begin by washing your hands with soap and warm water. Then soak your clean hands in fresh warm water for 10 minutes to soften the cuticle.    
4. Do Not Moisturize. You do not want to add oils to your nails. Dry your hands completely and use the cuticle pusher to gently push back the cuticle.
5. Use the nail buffer tool to gently buff away the shine on your natural nail. Note: Buffing too aggressively will weaken your natural nail.
6. Measure the fit of your SugarCookie Nails set against each finger and gently file the sides if necessary to fine tune your fit. Pro-Tip: File from the inside carefully and a little at a time. Continue measuring to make sure you don't over file. Go slow.
7. Rinse hands to remove any nail dust from buffing and filing. Do Not Use Soap Or Moisturize. 
8. Use one Alcohol Wipe to completely wipe down each of your natural nails and use the second Alcohol Wipe to do the same to your SugarCookie Nails Set.
9. Handle with care. Dropping, unnecessary touching, & fumbling with your SugarCookie Nails during your application could put dust and oil back onto your nails. If this happens just wipe your nails down again with an Alcohol Wipe.

Pro-Tip: Apply your thumb nails last for extra support and precision when applying your SugarCookie Nails set.

1. If you chose the SugarCookie Nails Glue Prep Kit with your order, begin by opening your glue and carefully cutting off the tip of the applicator tube.
2. Choose a finger to start with. 
3. Apply a thin layer of glue to both your natural nail and your SugarCookie Nails press on nail. Too little glue will leave gaps and too much glue will flood the nail and spill out the sides. 
4. Hold your SugarCookie Nails press on nail and touch the end as close to your cuticle as possible without overlapping.
5. Gently lower the rest of the nail down flat.
6. Firmly press down the nail and hold for 15-30 seconds making sure to apply pressure to all sides of the nail. This will reduce any additional air bubbles and give your nail a secure hold. Repeat for all fingers.
7. After your set is applied, let the glue set for 30 minutes or overnight and then apply Cuticle Oil.
8. Enjoy your SugarCookie Nails set for up to 2 weeks of gorgeous wear time!

4. Place the sticker close to the cuticle and press down on the sticker for 10 seconds to flatten it on the nail.
