How do I put on the nails?
To have the fake nails on for a longer time, simply use a nail file and file the surface of your nails. Once your nail surface becomes rigged, apply glue either on your entire finger nail or on half full of the fake nails. Press the fake nails to your actual nails, hold for about 30 seconds and release. If you wish to have the fake nails on for a short amount of time (generally about 1 week or so), you do not need to file your nails. Simply apply glue. For temporary wear (for an event or a night out), you may use professional nail double sided tapes. You may wish to apply a layer of top coat over your fake nails once you have finished the gluing process. Top coat will not only protect your fake nails but also gives a shine to them.
How do I remove the nails?
To remove the fake nails, simply soak your nails in warm water for about 30 minutes. You can peel off the nails from two areas- the cuticle and the top part. Make sure you check for loose bondings before removing any nails. Once you have found a loose connection, start from that area and continue remove the nails by soaking in warm water. Use tweezers to help enlarge the loose bondings is a suggestion. Note: If you have filed your nails before applying glue, it will be hard to remove the fake nails in the first 2 weeks. Nail bonding usually becomes loose when your nails start to grow, and generally after 2 weeks.
What size nails do you have? What are the measurements?
Our nails come in three width sizes (small and medium) and two length sizes (regular and long). Measurments are listed in cm below:

How do I know what size I wear?
You can measure your nails in three ways- with a soft ruler, a string & ruler or clear tips. If you have a soft ruler, you can hold one end of the ruler at one side of the nail. Measure across your fingernails and read off the measurements. If you have do not have a soft ruler, simply repeat the steps above but use a string. Tie a knot to one end and measure across your fingernails. Measure the string with a regular ruler.
Extra side note:
Japanese 3D nails are hand made accessories, gems on the nails may fall off while wearing the nails. The problem is not with the nails or the quality of our hand made nails- no nail artists can promise or guarantee their glued on gems won't fall off. We've used the best quality nail glue to ensure long lasting bonding between the gems and our nail tips. To better protect the gems, we strongly suggest to apply top coat over nail tips few times a week.
Nail are reusable, the amount of usage depends on the average length of wear, the environment and surrounding and most importantly how you protect your nails. Usually you may use the nails up to 5 times when you take good care of them.
Always check your nails after labor, shower or any other activities that may result in loose bonding. For security purposes, we advise to check your nails every few days by adjusting your fake nails to see if there are any loose connections. If so, remove the nails and re-glue them on.
Make sure the sides are well glued on. When peeling off, only exert enough force, if nails won't come off, keep on soaking in water.
Do not use acetone, it will not only damage the fake nails, but also your actual nails.
