Unbox & lay out
Open the crystal coffret; your ten tips are arranged by finger. Lay out the alcohol wipe pads, manicure stick, nail file and your chosen adhesive so everything is within reach.
Check your fit
Dry-fit every tip before anything sticky. Each should touch side-wall to side-wall without pressing. Between sizes, take the smaller. Confirm your size before opening or applying; exchanges require items to remain unused and in their original condition.
Prep like the atelier
Push cuticles back with the manicure stick, buff the nail surface lightly, then sweep each nail with an alcohol wipe pad. Touch the nail plate no more — oils are the quiet enemy of adhesion.
Choose your bond
First time? Start with the jelly gel tabs — gentlest on natural nails, forgiving of mistakes, and strong enough for days of wear. Read Glue or Tabs? for the full comparison.
Apply at an angle
Align the tip at the cuticle at a shallow angle, lower it onto the nail, press firmly for thirty seconds — centre first, then edges. Avoid water for the first hour.
Admire, then relax
That is genuinely all. Each application wears for days, removes gently when the guide is followed, and the set is designed to be worn again and again.
