Toenail Application and Removal

How to Apply Snazzi Toes 👣

Get sandal-season ready in minutes with the right fit, careful preparation and a little Snazzi patience.

Before You Begin

Apply press-ons only to healthy, intact toenails and surrounding skin. Do not apply over injured, irritated, discolored or possibly infected nails. Stop using the product if you experience pain, burning, redness or another unexpected reaction.

Application Steps

  1. Wash and dry your feet thoroughly. Clean between the toes and make sure every nail bed is completely dry.
  2. Insert the included toe separator. This keeps the toes apart and gives you a cleaner workspace.
  3. Prepare the natural nails. Gently push back the cuticles, lightly buff each toenail and remove the dust. Clean each nail with the included alcohol wipe and allow it to dry completely.
  4. Size every toe before applying adhesive. Use your big-toe measurement with the Snazzi Toes™ chart, then mix and match the smaller sizes across the remaining toes. Each press-on should cover the natural nail from sidewall to sidewall without touching the surrounding skin. Between sizes? Size up and gently file the sides.
  5. Choose your adhesive. Use nail glue for longer wear or jelly tabs for shorter wear and easier removal. Follow the directions supplied with your adhesive and never apply adhesive directly to your skin.
  6. Apply from cuticle to tip. Position the press-on slightly above the cuticle, lower it toward the tip and press firmly for 30–60 seconds. Begin with the big toe, then continue toward the smallest toe.
  7. Allow the bond to set. Remain barefoot or wear open-toe shoes for at least one hour. Avoid socks, closed shoes and water during this time. If your adhesive instructions recommend a longer setting period, follow those directions.

Your Snazzi pedicure is ready to slay. ✨

How to Remove Snazzi Toes 👣

The golden rule of the Snazzi Safe Removal System: never force, pull or pop off a press-on nail.

Method 1: Gentle Soak-Off

  1. Soak your feet in comfortably warm—not hot—soapy water for approximately 15 minutes.
  2. Apply cuticle oil around the edges of each press-on.
  3. Using the included cuticle stick, gently work along the side of the nail.
  4. If you feel resistance, stop and continue soaking. Never pry.
  5. Once removed, gently buff away any remaining adhesive.
  6. Wash and dry your feet, then finish with cuticle oil or moisturizer.

Method 2: Nail Debonder

  1. Apply a small amount of nail debonder around the edges where the press-on meets the natural toenail.
  2. Allow the debonder to work for 30–60 seconds or according to its label instructions.
  3. Use the cuticle stick to gently work around the sidewalls and cuticle area.
  4. Reapply debonder as needed while slowly loosening the press-on.
  5. If you feel resistance, stop, apply more debonder and wait. Never force the nail.
  6. After removal, gently clear away adhesive residue.
  7. Wash and dry your feet thoroughly, then apply cuticle oil or moisturizer.

Care Between Wears 💖

  • Remove leftover adhesive from reusable press-ons and store them in their original tray.
  • Keep natural toenails clean and dry between applications.
  • Give your natural nails a break if they become thin, brittle, irritated or uncomfortable.
  • After the adhesive has fully set, dry your feet and the areas around your toenails thoroughly after bathing or swimming.
  • Remove the press-ons and discontinue use if you notice persistent pain, redness, swelling, discoloration, odor or trapped moisture.

Adhesive Safety ⚠️

Nail glue can bond skin instantly. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing, and keep glue and debonder away from children and pets. Do not pull bonded skin apart. Follow the adhesive and debonder labels, including their first-aid directions.

If you have a medical nail or foot condition, reduced sensation or circulation concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional before using artificial toenails.
