Easy Steps to Apply PolyNail Nail Art

Use nail glue to adhere the PolyNail nail art slices to the fingernail in the desired location, making sure to seal all the edges with glue. Just start with a small drop of glue and spread it around with the tip of the glue bottle - too much glue can make it difficult to place your slices.

Once the glue is dry you may sand the top of the slices lightly with a nail file if necessary to even the edges or remove any excess glue.  Since the design goes all the way through the slice you won't mar the design if you gently file the top.

Apply a clear coat or a layer of acrylic or gel over the slices, allow to dry, and you're ready to go!

Remove the nail art by soaking your nails in acetone nail polish remover until the glue dissolves, then gently peel away any remaining designs.

How to Slice Polymer Clay Nail Art Canes

The key to slicing polymer clay nail art canes is to get them warm first.  The canes should be warm to the touch, but not hot.  You may place the canes in a coffee cup of water that has already been warmed in the microwave, put them on a heating pad set on low, or warm them on top of paper towels in a toaster oven. 

Whichever method you choose, be sure to keep the canes from getting too hot as the clay will turn brown if it burns.  For the thinnest cuts, use a polymer clay cutting blade found in craft stores, or a tissue blade from a medical supply.
