How-To with Julia

Elegantips How-To STEPS:

     
1. Place   2. Polish   3. Enjoy!

  1. File, shape and use cuticle stick for fingernails and toenails, as desired.
  2. Apply one coat of Kensington Krystal, base/top coat. LET DRY.
  3. Place nail tip guide onto fingertip (according to size/made to fit snuggly.)

HELPFUL TIPS:

    • Alignment is key. If a thin crescent line is desired, place the nail tip guide closer to the edge of the nail. If a thicker crescent line is desired, place it further down the fingernail/toenail.
    • If nails are stained, try applying a layering process; apply 1 coat of Kensington Krystal, let dry, and then apply 2 coats of either The Breakers Buff or Palace Petal. Once dry, continue with the polishing process.
    • Placing nail tip guides onto every other fingernail/toenail can offer an easier polishing process.

Polishing Process:

  1. Apply a small amount of polish onto the Windsor Winter brush.
  2. Place brush onto the nail tip guide first, and polish using a downward motion onto the fingernail or toenail tip.
  3. Rotate your wrist of the hand with the guide(s) on in order to paint entire radius of fingernail tip.
  4. Keep nail tip guides on fingernails or toenails when first coat is drying, then apply the second coat.

HELPFUL TIPS:

    • Go outside the “lines!” Each Kit/Set comes with a correction brush, to fine-tune your polishing!
    • For best results- Always start polishing the nail tip guide first, then continue onto the fingernail or toenail.
    • When rotating wrist, angle the brush so that it matches the contour of the guide.
    • Always apply thin coats of nail polish.
    • When waiting for nails to dry, be sure to cover nail polish since it will thicken and not perform well, when exposed to air.

Removing Nail Tip Guides:

 

  1. Place your thumb and index finger on the sides of the Nail Tip Guide and lift up on one or both ends to remove.
  2. Apply 1-2 coats of Palace Petal or The Breakers Buff if a sheer finish is desired.
  3. Apply 1-2 coats of Kensington Krystal to finish your look.

Cleaning your Nail Tip Guides:

We recommend rubbing the polish off each nail tip guide, using our “Polish-Off” Cloth along with your preferred nail polish remover.
