Method
Prepare
A quiet moment to begin.
Begin with clean, dry nails.
Gently push back your cuticles and lightly buff the surface of the natural nail to remove shine. Cleanse thoroughly using the alcohol wipe provided in your minima set. Proper preparation ensures optimal adhesion and extended wear.
Select your sizes
Each press-on should sit comfortably within the natural nail line without touching the skin. If between sizes, choose the smaller size for a seamless finish.
If needed, gently refine the sides of the press-on using the nail file provided.
Preparation supports comfort, longevity, and a natural finish.
Apply
Two methods. One considered finish.
Choose Flex Adhesive Tabs for shorter wear and flexibility, or Bond Nail Glue for extended wear.
Flex Adhesive Tabs
Select and apply the adhesive tab to the natural nail. Remove the protective film, align the press-on at a 45 degree angle, and press firmly from cuticle to tip. Apply consistent pressure for 20–30 seconds to secure.
Bond Nail Glue
Apply a small amount of glue to the natural nail and the press-on. Align carefully at a 45 degree angle and press firmly from cuticle to tip, holding in place for 20–30 seconds.
Ensure full contact across the nail surface.
A secure application supports comfort and durability.
Wear
Made to move with you.
minima is designed for natural integration into your daily routine.
Avoid water, heat, or excessive pressure immediately after application to allow the adhesive to fully set.
With considered care, each set is designed for repeatable wear.
Remove
Gentle, always.
Removal is part of the method and should never be rushed.
Begin by soaking your nails in warm water with any household soap and a small amount of oil for 10–15 minutes. This helps soften the adhesive and allows the bond to release naturally. Using the cuticle stick provided, gently work along the edges as the press-on begins to lift.
Alternatively, apply Lift Adhesive Remover along the edges of the press-on. Using the cuticle stick, gently ease the press-on from the sides with light pressure. As the adhesive breaks down, the press-on will release.
Never force removal. If resistance remains, continue soaking and allow more time.
Gentle removal preserves both the press-on and the natural nail, supporting repeatable wear.
Return
After removal, gently remove any remaining adhesive from the underside of the press-on using the cuticle stick provided.
Once clean and dry, return each press-on to your minima box to protect its shape and surface.
Cleanse the natural nail and restore hydration using Veil Cuticle Oil.
Proper aftercare supports nail health and prepares the nail for future application.
