You earned it. Warm rose nail strips with a glossy, high-shine finish.

Step 3

FILE

Tightly fold the strip over your free edge.

File off the excess length. File downwards in one firm motion; filing back and forth results in jagged, uneven edges.

PRO TIP: If you have extra material when folding the strip over your nail edge, trim with a scissor or nail clipper before filing.

PRO TIP: For optimal adhesion, avoid exposing nails to lotions, oils, or water for at least one hour after application.

How To Apply Gloss

Step 1

PREP

Clean nails with soap and water.

Shape nails and push back cuticles.

Use the enclosed prep pad to ensure nails are clear from oils and residue.

Make sure your nails are completely dry before application.

Step 2

SIZE & APPLY

Curve the sheet over each nail to find the best fit. Size down if in between sizes!

Gently lift the strip from the sheet, starting from the edge. Place the strip over the center of your nail, starting at your cuticle line and pressing outward.

Press down firmly from the center and side to side.

PRO TIP: Make sure the strip is applied slightly above your cuticle line, avoiding placement on skin.

PRO TIP: Spend an extra minute smoothing and pressing down the strip; the more you press = the better the adhesion.

David O. ★★★★★

The folding-and-filing step felt finicky at first, but once I got the hang of it, the edges sealed like a dream. That glossy finish held up through three hand washes and a sink of dishes without peeling.

Joshua ★★★★★

That warm rose shade is exactly what my nails needed, and the glossy finish actually looks like I got a salon dip. The strips were forgiving enough that I could smooth out a wrinkle on my pinky without ruining it.

Miles Z. ★★★★★

The fold-and-file method was way easier than I expected—the strips bend cleanly over the edge and the gloss really does look like a fresh manicure. My nails still have that high-shine finish four days in, no chipping around the tips.
