How long will my nails last?

Wear time depends on how well you prep your natural nails before application, your choice of adhesive, and your daily use. The key to longer wear time is prepping your nails with the supplies included, and avoiding long term exposure to water and manual labor. It is not unusual to pop gems, but take care when wearing your delicate art. Nails are not tools.

DOUBLE SIDED GEL TABS can hold anywhere from 1-3 days and are perfect for temporary wear and special occasions.

WITH GLUE, your nails can last anywhere up to 2 weeks or longer! Never continue to wear nails that are lifting as it can become a source for bacteria to breed. Remove lifting nails, then clean and dry before reapplying nails

ARE THE NAILS REUSABLE?

YES! All handmade nails are reusable. Because your nails are made with salon products, they are strong and durable!

WHEN USING DOUBLE SIDED GEL TAB ADHESIVES, nails can be reused over and over. Simply clean off the used adhesive tabs from the backside of the nails.

WHEN USING GLUE, use the a nail removal tool to soak, oil, &  gently remove your nails. Once removed, you will want to softly file away any excessive glue from the underside so the next application will lie smoothly.

With proper care of your XCCDesigns nails, you can wear and reuse multiple times!

 

HOW DO I APPLY MY NAILS?

Use glue or double sided gel stick pads. Use both for extra hold.

Prep your nails first!
1: Clean and dry your hands and nails
2: Push back cuticles
3: Clip or file and shape natural nails
4: Use included alcohol wipes to dehydrate the nail beds
5: FIRST DRY THE NAILS TO ENSURE A PROPER FIT.  Glue or stick nails on one by one, pressing and holding for 15-30 seconds to ensure the hold
6: Avoid water for the next hour

*TIP
Using a nail primer is useful to dehydrate the nail bed prior to application. Some beauty supply shops like Sally's offers a variety of primers and nail adhesives. 

**Please note, when applying, please take care not to over bend the curve by either flattening out the nail too much or by pinching the nail too tight at the side walls; this can cause the gel nail product or gems to pull away from the base. Some nails have extra bling or accessories on them and as such are not ideal for rigorous wear and tear. It is not uncommon loose a gem.

(IF YOU CANNOT APPLY THE NAILS YOURSELF, TRY VISITING A NAIL TECH OR SALON TO REQUEST APPLICATION OF YOUR NAILS)

HOW DO I REMOVE MY NAILS?

You can remove nails permanently by clipping, filing, & soaking in acetone.  **Your custom nail will NOT BE REUSABLE USING THIS METHOD!**

Removing & Reusing your Nails.

Be patient and gentle when removing your nails so you can protect your natural nails, and preserve your style.

It’s not recommended to attempt removing newly glued nails or nails glued with resin, acrylic, or gel. To remove nails, soak hands in warm water solution of soap and natural oil.  Soak for a good 10-15 mins. Using a nail removal tool, slide the pointy flat side around the edges of your nails, gently lifting the edges. Using the floss side of your tool, slowly slide the floss between your natural nail and your claws. NEVER PULL OR RIP your claws OFF. If you experience discomfort stop immediately and try soaking your hands longer, before trying again. It is important that you never force a nail off, as this can damage your natural nails. 
Once your claws are removed, put them back in the box for later reuse!

 

HOW LONG UNTIL I RECEIVE MY NAILS?
