APPLICATION AND REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
Whether you're a first time Marmalader or #getlade on the regular - check out our application, customization and removal videos below and learn how to make the most of your manicure.
Application Instructions
Marmalade nails are super easy to apply and beginner friendly! Refer to these commonly asked application questions below. If you're a first-time Marmalader, we highly recommend following our step-by-step application tutorial here.
We highly recommend following our application video tutorial for first timers!
To Apply:
Gently buff your natural nails, then clean your nails using nail polish remover.
Apply a thin layer of glue to back of the Marmalade nails and natural Nail.
Starting at cuticle press on firmly and hold for about ten seconds until dry.
File Marmalade nail to change shape or length of nail.
Average application time is only ~5 minutes!
Marmalade nails are applied with costume HQ- free certified glue which bonds like an acrylic or gel manicure but without the damage on your natural nails.
No maintenance is needed in between wears. Marmalade nails are the most convenient, money and time saving manicure option out there! If one pops off, you just reapply it within seconds without having to run back to the salon, pay more or wear an incomplete manicure.
You can wear your Marmalade nails for as little as 1 day or up to 2 weeks straight!
See below for best practices based on your desired wear time:
1-4 Day Wear:
Use a thin strip of glue from cuticle to tip and hold firmly for about 10 seconds.
5-10 Day Wear:
Use a dot of glue spread over your natural nail and hold firmly for about 10 seconds. Leave a small border around your nail creating space between your skin and the glue.
11-14 Day Wear:
Apply a thin layer of glue to back of Marmalade nail and natural nail and hold firmly for about 10-20 seconds. Tip: Avoid washing your hands right after the application.
When it comes to the glue less is more even for the longest wear which helps prevent over-gluing. Glue can bond within seconds! Make sure to avoid contact with eyes, mouth and skin and do not use on weak, irritated or infected nails.
Your press-on manicure kit comes with 24 nails and 12 sizes to help ensure the perfect fit for each fingernail.
To ensure you've picked the right Marmalade nail, press them down all the way over your natural nail before you apply the glue. If the nail doesn't quite cover your nail bed, you can easily file down the sides or length to get the appropriate fit.
If a nail(s) pop or fall off during active wear, you can re-apply it following the same application instructions above.
A few things to be mindful of to ensure a strong glue bond and proper application:
1. Prior to applying your nails, wipe your natural nails clean and dry with acetone. This will create the ideal surface for the glue to bond with and remove any excess oil on your nails.
2. Press and hold firmly for a good 10-15 seconds per nail.
3. Avoid water contact/exposure for about 20-30 minutes after application while the glue cures.
Following the above steps will almost always result in a solid 10+ days of wear time.
If you lose a nail as a result, you can reapply a new nail from your kit. If you do not have another nail that fits, please contact us and we can assist with a replacement nail.
Yes! We encourage you to shape your mani to one of your choosing.
For significant changes, use a nail clipper as you would on your natural nails.
For smaller modifications and touch ups, the included nail file will do just fine.
Feel free to refer to our shaping video here for a detailed tutorial.
Removal Instructions
Ready to remove your Marmalade mani? The removal process is stress and pain-free thanks to our patented nail removal tool! We encourage you to watch our nail removal tutorial here.
Each set of Marmalade nails includes our patented nail removal tool!
We created this nifty gadget to make the removal process super easy and stress-free.
To remove your Marmalade nails, soak your nails into warm water for several minutes to soften the glue bond.
Next, take your Marmalade nails removal tool, and carefully slide it in between your natural nail and Marmalade nail.
With gentle inward pressure, slowly rotate the removal tool from side to side, and your Marmalade nail will separate from your natural nail.
Never force or pull nails off as this may damage your natural nails. Use included buffer to buff off excess glue if needed.
Please note that if you are applying your Marmalade nails for the longest wear, do not attempt to remove them until at least 7 days have passed. The long wear glue application will bond strong and removal can be damaging to your natural nail prior to 7 days of wear.
If applied for the longest wear time, we strongly advise against attempting to remove your Marmalade nails before 7 days of wear.
If you must remove your nails early, follow the removal instructions above plus add acetone to your warm soapy water.
It is crucial that you do not force or pull off your Marmalade nails, as this can cause damage to your natural nails.
Use your included Marmalade nail removal tool to break the glue bond between your natural nail and Marmalade nail after soaking.
If you find that the nail does not easily separate with gentle inward pressure, please repeat the removal process and re-soak your natural nails in warm soapy water with acetone added.
If you find that there is excess glue on your natural nails after removal, dab a q-tip with acetone and apply to the affected nails. Allow a few minutes for the acetone to soften the glue.
Next, use the included nail buff to gently buff the glue. You can also use your removal tool to remove the glue.
If you find that the glue does not immediately come off, do not attempt to force it off. Typically, washing your hands will soften any excess glue over time and make it easy to remove.
