removal easier. Using too much glue can lead to the above mentioned "sticky fingers." As soon as the glue is in place select the proper nail for that finger. Place the cuticle end in the exact location you want it to fit and then set the nail down against your own nail. Get the nail in as straight a position as possible before setting it donw, as little adjustment can be made once the nail touches the glue. A small amount of practice will yield the easiest technique for each person. Once the nail is in place pres son it for a few seconds to assure a good bond. Repeat this process for the rest of your nails. As soon as the nails are in place, they are ready for battle. They are waterproof, detergent proof, and virtually indestructable. They will not come off until taken off-with the rare exception being a jolt from the side.

Now that the nails are in place, they can be shaped and painted to your desire just like your own nails. Any nail polish can be used on them. One word of caution about the nails, on the package you will see a note telling you not to use polish remover containing acetone. The reason for this is that acetone will damage the plastic nails. Almost all polish removers contain acetone, so if you can't find the kind without it don't fret. I have found that ordinary polish remover can be used if a kleenex is used instead of a cotton ball to remove the polish. The cotton ball will come apart and stick to the nails leaving a real mess. However, the kleenex will remove the polish and leave the nail unharmed.

The final step you will need to do is removing the nails when the time arrives. This can be accomplished by inserting one of the extra nails from the kit between your nail and the false nail at the sides or at the cuticle. I use an extra nail instead f the ones I'm wearing to avoid damage to the false nails, as they can be used over again. One can now see the reasoning for care in the glue application when it comes to removal time. Too much glue or glue too close to the eges doesn't allow for an edge to insert the extra nail into. If the nail doesn't come off easily, it will normally pop off, soaking the finger in polish remover will loosen the glue. This should only be used if the nail won't come off normally, as the nail will be ruined. Once the nail is removed, immediately place it in its storage place as each nail is fitted to only that finger. Any residue left on your own nails can be removed with polish remover. The glue will tend to build up on the false nails. Do not attempt to remove this glue. The nails can be used five to ten times before this build-up is a problem. Once the glue
