2. Lightly rough up your nails using a nail file.

How to apply KOVI nails
1. Match the right size KOVI nail to your nail bed and peel it off the backing sheet
2. Gently position and stick it on to your nail. If you find the nail sticker is a little smaller than your nail you can stretch it a little.
3. With the wooden cuticle stick, press down and roll around the edges well to seal the sticker on to your nail.
4. Remove excess KOVI nail and file in one direction to the shape of your nail. KOVI nails are not designed to be extensions, so you will need to file it to the length of your nail.
5. Cure under our KOVI UV GLOW UV/LED light for 60 seconds.
6. If you want some added shine and protection, apply the KOVI Top Coat to give it a boost and cure for another 60 seconds under the KOVI UV GLOW UV/LED light.

Removing KOVI Nails is SUPER easy!
With the wooden cuticle stick provided, gently lift the edges of the nails and apply the KOVI Cuticle Elixir to the edges of the nails slowly lifting it off your nail bed.
It is that simple!
Store your KOVI nails in their black protective sleeve as exposure to sunlight will harden the nails, and you don't want that!
It is up to you - you can give it a go and see which method suits you best. Most of our videos show us cutting the excess off after hardening to demonstrate how hard and strong the nails are, however sometimes it is easier to cut the excess off with a nail clipper or scissors while the KOVI nail is still soft.
No! KOVI Nails are safe, non-toxic and you do not need to file down your own nail to put them on, they are basically the same as applying regular nail polish, only better!
Make sure you remove the nails carefully, not ripping them off your nails as this can damage your nail, that's why we have designed the KOVI Cuticle Elixir to help with the removal so your nails are nourished during the removal process.
They are basically salon gel nails that are half cooked! They are easy to apply, safe, HEMA free and vegan. They're flexible to mold to your nail shape and cured under the KOVI GLOW UV lamp in 60 seconds
10-15 minutes!
If you're short on time, and want to spruce up your nails before your dinner date, catch up with friends or even when the baby sleeps for some self care this is perfect!
The first time you do them it might take a little longer as it is something new, however once you've got the hang of it, its super easy!
