Leopard Bow Long, cut on coffin in a long length. Coffin, also called ballerina: tapered at the sides, cut flat across the tip, like a ballet shoe stood on end.
A long coffin shape
The coffin silhouette is the most photographed shape in the category, and the flat tip gives any design a full canvas. Full length, cut for effect. Start shorter if this is your first set.
Ten minutes on, two weeks of wear
Applied to a clean, oil free nail, expect around two weeks of wear. The design is moulded into the tip rather than painted on top, so there is no lacquer layer to chip. What ends a set is the bond underneath, which is why the prep step matters more than anything else.
Twelve sizes in every set
Twenty four nails in twelve sizes, so one of them is yours. No glue in this set. Add it for $12.99, or take three sets and the glue is on us.
How to apply
-
Prep. Wipe with the prep pad, push the cuticle back and buff the shine off. Thirty seconds a hand, and it is what buys you the second week.
-
Size. Lay the nails out and match every finger dry before any adhesive.
-
Press. Brush a thin line of nail glue down the centre of your nail, or use an adhesive tab. Press down for thirty seconds.
-
Go. Around two weeks of wear. To remove, soak in warm soapy water for five minutes and ease the nail off with a cuticle stick.
