3.  Dip your brush into your chosen Designer Flakes. Apply the bead to your nails, then air dry. Depending on your method of application, you may repeat and apply another bead.

Removal Instructions:

1. Trim off any extra nail length with a nail cutter.

2. Buff off the shiny top layer, and avoid buffing your natural nail bed. 

Pro Tip: Before applying the acetone, rub petroleum jelly around your cuticle and fingertips.  It will keep the skin around your nails from drying out!

• Foil Method
Thoroughly soak a cotton ball in acetone. Afterward, place it over your nail and tightly wrap your nail in aluminum foil. Do this for each finger and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Lastly, remove the foil, and gently rub the cotton ball along with the foil on your nails.

• Soak Off Method
Pour acetone into a small bowl and soak your nails inside for 15 to 20 minutes. If excess polish remains, soak it in for another 5 minutes.

3. Lighty buff the surface of your nails. Afterward, shape your nails with a nail file and create your desired shape. Then, nourish your nails with cuticle oil.
