Crystal spike
How do I use a Wooden Stick?
Push back cuticles: Just like the crystal version, you can use the wooden stick to push back your cuticles, but be careful not to press too hard to avoid skin irritation.
Clean under nails: The flat end can be used to clean under the nails, removing any accumulated dirt or polish.
Apply nail treatments: The stick can be used to apply oils or creams to the cuticle area.
Drying Nail Glue
How do I use press-on nails glue?
1. Prep your nails: Clean and trim your nails, pushing back cuticles and removing any oils with an alcohol pad or nail prep wipe.
2. Apply glue: Apply a small amount of glue to your natural nail or the back of the press-on nail. Be careful not to use too much, as excess glue can spill over.
3. Press the nail on: Align the press-on nail with your natural nail and press it firmly for about 10–20 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
4. Repeat for all nails: Apply glue and press on each nail one by one, following the same process.
