Application

Every dafies set is applied with glue tabs, not liquid glue. It is gentler on your natural nail and lets you reuse the same set several times. The whole application takes about five minutes once you know the order.

Applying glue tabs

Choose a glue tab that fits your natural nail, covering as much surface as possible without touching the skin. Usually you need to go a bit bigger than you think.

Remove the protective film, place the glue tab on your nail, and rub it in using your fingers and the cuticle stick. Then gently lift the second protective film off using the cuticle stick, or peel it off with your fingers.

Applying the nails

Start with your dominant hand first. Place the press-on at the base of your nail and slightly push it under your cuticle. Fold it down, hold, and press firmly for 10 to 20 seconds. Apply the thumbs last.

This should never hurt. If it does, the size is too small or the shape is not right for that finger. Try a different size before pressing it on.
