Welcome to Navaila!

Thank you for choosing our premium stick-on nails. To help you get the most out of your new nails, we’ve created a step-by-step guide for application, removal, and after care. With the right steps, you’ll enjoy a flawless, long-lasting manicure while keeping your natural nails healthy.

 

Application Guide

Follow these steps to apply your stick-on nails for a secure, salon-quality finish:

  1. Prep Your Nails for the Perfect Base

    • Start by cleaning your nails with the alcohol pad provided. This removes oils, dirt, or lotions that could interfere with the adhesive.
    • Use the nail stick to gently push back your cuticles. This step ensures the stick-on nails fit snugly and look natural.
    • Lightly buff the surface of your nails using the nail file included in your kit. This creates a slightly rough texture, helping the adhesive bond better to your nails.
    • Trim and shape your natural nails if needed to create a smooth, even base.

  2. Match the Right Sizes

    • Lay out the stick-on nails and match each one to your natural nails. Ensure each nail fits side-to-side without overlapping your skin.
    • If a nail seems too large, gently file the edges of the stick-on nail for a perfect fit. Always choose a smaller size if you’re between two sizes.

  3. Apply Nail Stickers or Glue

    • For Nail Stickers:
      • Peel the backing off the nail sticker, avoiding contact with the adhesive to maintain its strength.
      • Place the sticker on your natural nail, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Press down firmly.
      • Align the stick-on nail above the sticker and press down for 15–20 seconds, focusing on the edges.
    • For Nail Glue:
      • Apply a thin, even layer of glue to your natural nail. Avoid over-applying, as this can lead to spillage or uneven bonding.
      • Place the stick-on nail starting at the cuticle and press down firmly. Hold for at least 15–20 seconds to secure it fully.

  4. Set Your Nails

    • Once all nails are applied, go over each one again, pressing firmly for a few seconds. This step ensures maximum adhesion.
    • Avoid water, heat, or excessive pressure for at least 2 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully set.

 

 

Removal Guide

Removing your nails properly is key to protecting your natural nails. Here’s how to do it safely and easily:

  1. Soften the Adhesive

    • Fill a small bowl with warm, soapy water and soak your nails for 10–15 minutes. This helps loosen the adhesive and makes removal easier.
    • Add a few drops of cuticle oil to the water for extra softness and hydration.

  2. Lift the Nails Carefully

    • Use the nail stick to gently lift the edges of the stick-on nails. Work your way around the nail until it begins to come off.
    • Be patient! Avoid forcing or pulling the nails, as this can damage your natural nails.

  3. Remove Residue

    • After the nails are removed, use the alcohol pad to wipe away any leftover adhesive from your natural nails.
    • If needed, lightly buff the surface of your nails with the nail file to smooth out any remaining residue.

  4. Restore and Hydrate

    • Apply a small amount of cuticle oil to your nails and massage it in. This nourishes your natural nails and helps them recover after removal.

 

 

After Care Tips

Taking care of your nails after application and removal ensures they stay healthy and beautiful. Follow these simple tips:

  1. Avoid Excessive Heat

    • Keep your nails away from direct heat sources like stoves or open flames. Heat can weaken the adhesive and cause the nails to lift.

  2. Keep Them Clean

    • Gently clean under your nails daily using a soft brush or your nail stick. This keeps your nails hygienic and looking fresh.

  3. Moisturise Regularly

    • Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your nails and cuticles hydrated. Well-moisturised nails are stronger and less prone to damage.

  4. Handle with Care

    • Be cautious when using your hands to open cans, peel stickers, or handle hard surfaces. Treat your nails like jewels, not tools!
    • If a nail begins to lift slightly, apply a small dab of glue under the edge and press it down firmly to extend its lifespan.

  5. Protect Your Nails

    • Wear gloves when doing household chores, especially those involving chemicals, water, or abrasive materials. This helps preserve the adhesive and prevents lifting.

  6. Maintain Your Natural Nails

    • Buff your natural nails lightly once a week to keep them smooth and ready for your next set of stick-on nails. Avoid over-buffing, as it can thin your nails.

 

 

Final Thoughts:

  • Plan Ahead: If you’re prepping for a special event, apply your nails the night before to allow them time to set properly.
