Facts About Our Inspire Nails:

​

Inspire Nails can be pre-designed for photo shoots or runway shows and in salons where they can be retailed to clients to apply at home, over an existing manicure. Perfect for special events or a night out, clients can easily apply the Inspire Nails and remove to be office-ready the following day.

 

 

 

Inspire Nails are designed for one-time temporary use. They will stay secure for up to 24 hours when applied properly. However, there are testimonies where they have lasted on certain clients up to 4 days. They are the perfect non-damaging nail enhancement for photo shoots, video shoots and fashion events.

 

 

 

Application:

 

 

For optimal wear, start with a clean nail that has been removed of any nail polish, oils or lotions. Lightly buff the nail surface with a 400 grit buffing block and remove any filings with a dry, lint free wipe.

Select the appropriate size Inspire Nail that will best fit each nail. Place the adhesive side onto the nail plate and secure with firm pressure. Shape or cut the free edge as desired, while gently holding the pre-glued nail onto the nail plate while filing.

Apply polish or gel polish as desired.

 

 

Application over nail polish or gel polish:

 

Thoroughly clean the polished surface with Isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry. Select the appropriate size Inspire Nail that will best fit each nail. Place the adhesive side onto the nail plate and secure with firm pressure. Shape or cut the free edge as desired, while gently holding the pre-glued nail onto the nail plate while filing.

 

 

Removal:

 

Using a manicure stick saturated in non-acetone remover or Isopropyl alcohol, gently slide the stick under the cuticle area of the Inspire Nail to loosen the adhesive. Apply more remover as necessary until the bond is released, then gently lift the pre-glued nail from the nail plate. Clean any residue from the nail plate with remover. 

 

Note: If carefully removed with alcohol, the Inspire Nails may be used an additional time as long as the adhesive backing is still intact. After removal, leave the pre-glued portion facing upwards so it can be allowed to dry. Reapply in the same method.

 

 

Pre-Designing Inspire Nails:

 

Use double-sided foam mounting tape and apply it in strips on to a piece of pre-cut cardboard or other flat surface. Secure the Inspire Nails, adhesive side down, leaving space in between to allow room for polishing and decorating. Once finished designing, place dried nails back into their plastic case until ready to apply. It is best to do any necessary cutting and/or shaping after the Inspire Nails are applied to the hands so dust or filings won’t interfere with the bond. However, if cutting and shaping is required before polish application and design, use a piece of thick plastic wrap to hold the adhesive portion of the nail while filing so no dust attaches to the adhesive backing.
