How to Use (Recommended Method):
-
Apply a thin layer of Red Iguana Primer to the silicone nail bed.
-
Let it dry for 10 seconds.
-
Insert the base nail tip into the cuticle pocket as deeply as possible.
-
Add a small amount of glue between the nail tip and silicone.
-
Press gently for 30–60 seconds.
-
Remove excess glue from the cuticle area.
-
Allow to dry for 5–15 minutes, then begin practicing.
Repeat these steps whenever applying a new set.
Removal Instructions:
-
File the acrylic down with an e-file until you reach the base nail.
-
Do NOT touch the silicone with the bit.
-
Avoid filing off the base nail itself.
-
Silicone does not dissolve in acetone.
-
If soaking off, be extremely gentle — pushing or prying can rip the silicone cuticle pocket.
-
NEVER rip off nails, as this permanently damages the hand.
Important Notes:
-
Glass base for the stand is not included.
-
Treat the silicone practice hand like a real client’s hand.
-
Avoid bending fingers or applying unnatural pressure.
