Your 10-Minute Ritual:

A Blueprint for Flawless Application

A well-designed life is built upon efficient systems. This is the blueprint for a perfect application, designed by our co-founder Umi to bring you a moment of calm and control, with an elegant result every time.

Part 1: The Sizing Blueprint

Finding the perfect fit is the
critical first step to begin your ritual.

Compare:

  • Lay the tape flat on a ruler and read the measurement in millimeters (mm).

Measure:

  • Place a soft measuring tape or a small piece of clear tape across the widest part of your nail and mark the edges.

Select:

  • Choose the closest Capsule size from our sizing chart based on your measurement. If you are between sizes, we always recommend choosing the slightly larger size, which you can file down on the sides for a perfect, custom fit.

Part 2: The Application Ritual

Please prepare a quiet, uncluttered space to begin your 10-minute ritual for inner order.

Prepare Your Canvas:

  • First, gently buff the surface of your natural nails with the provided file to remove any shine.

  • Then, thoroughly cleanse the nail surface with the included alcohol pad to remove any oils or dust. This is the foundation for a long-lasting application.

Find the Perfect Fit:

  • Select the best-fitting Capsule for each of your nails. Laying them out in order beforehand will make the following steps seamless.

Apply the Adhesive:

  • Choose the correctly sized adhesive tab for one nail, apply it to your natural nail, smooth it out, and peel off the protective film.

  • Ensure the tab covers the nail surface completely without extending over the edges.

Complete the Ritual:

  • Place the Capsule nail at a 45-degree angle, starting from your cuticle and slowly pressing it forward to cover your natural nail.

  • Press down firmly on the center and sides of the nail for about 15-20 seconds to ensure there are no air bubbles and it is fully bonded.

  • For the first 1-2 hours after application, please try to avoid prolonged contact with water.

Umi's Efficiency Edit

Double Adhesion:

  • For users seeking maximum longevity, try the "double adhesion method": after applying the adhesive tab to your natural nail, apply another tab to the back of the Capsule nail before pressing it on.

Heat Reinforcement:

  • While pressing down on the nail, you can use a hairdryer on a warm setting to blow air on it for a few seconds. The gentle heat can maximize the adhesive's bonding power.
