On in ten minutes. Off whenever you like.
Everything you need to size, apply, wear and remove a Belle Coats set. No salon, no acetone, no drill.
Putting them on
-
1
Pick your size
Match each nail to your own bed, widest first. Every set is custom sized.
-
2
Buff and shape
A light buff takes the shine off, which is what the glue needs to hold.
-
3
Clean the nail
Wipe each nail with the alcohol pad and let it dry completely.
-
4
Add the glue
A thin line down the middle of your nail is plenty. More is not better.
-
5
Press and hold
Set the tip at your cuticle, press down, and hold for thirty seconds.
-
6
Wear them out
Give it ten minutes before water. Then go.
The application guide, step by step
The same six steps that come printed in your box. Push the cuticles back, buff the shine off, wipe each nail clean, two drops of glue or a tab, press and hold for ten seconds, then repeat down the hand.
The whole hand takes about five minutes once you have done it twice. Save the picture to your phone if it helps, it is the same guide we send on WhatsApp.
- Buff first. Glue does not hold on shine, and that is the usual reason a nail lifts
- Thin line of glue, not a flood. Too much bubbles and lifts at the edge
- Press at the cuticle, roll flat, hold thirty seconds

Match the width, not the length
Hold each tip against the nail it is meant for and look at the sides. The right size sits just inside your own edges, touching both walls without pressing into the skin.
Length you can file down in seconds. Width you cannot fix, so always size to the widest point of your nail bed.
- Start with your thumbs, they are the easiest to read
- Between two sizes, take the smaller one
- Write your ten sizes down, then reorder without measuring again
The sizes in every set
Widths are measured across the widest part of the nail bed. Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will size you ourselves.
What makes them last
Do this
- Buff the shine off every nail before glueing
- Wipe with the alcohol pad and let it dry completely
- Use a thin line of glue, plus one dot inside the tip
- Press at the cuticle first, then roll flat and hold thirty seconds
- Give it ten minutes before water
Not this
- Do not glue over cuticle or skin
- Do not flood the nail with glue, it bubbles and lifts
- Do not shower or wash up in the first hour
- Do not pry a lifted nail off from the front
- Do not use acetone to remove them, ever
Taking them off
Ten minutes, no acetone, no prying. Done this way your own nails come out exactly as they went in, and the set is wearable again.
-
1
Soak in warm water
Ten minutes in warm soapy water. This does most of the work for you.
-
2
Lift from the side
Work the wooden stick in at the side wall, never at the front edge.
-
3
Rock, do not pull
Gentle pressure until the nail releases on its own. No force, ever.
-
4
Take the glue off
Buff away whatever glue is left on your natural nail.
-
5
Clean the set
Wipe the underside of each tip so it is ready to go back on.
-
6
Back in the case
Store them flat and they will wear again, and again.
The removal guide, no acetone
Warm soapy water, a soak of five to ten minutes, then a cuticle pusher worked gently from the edges. Never pry from the front, and never reach for acetone: it ruins the set and dries out your nail bed.
Done this way your own nails come out exactly as they went in, and the set is ready to wear again.
- If one will not budge, soak it for longer rather than forcing it
- Buff off any glue left on your natural nail afterwards
- Clean the underside of each tip and put it back in the case
If one will not budge, stop and soak for longer. Force is what damages the natural nail, never the press-on. And never reach for acetone: it will ruin the set and dry out your nail bed.
Still unsure?
How long does a set actually last?
Two to three weeks with our glue, if you prep properly. Some people get longer, and a lifted nail can be reglued in a minute.
Will they damage my natural nails?
No, as long as you do not pry them off. There is no drilling and no acetone involved at any stage.
Can I reuse the same set?
Yes. Remove them the way described above, clean the underside, and store them in the case. Most sets go back on several times.
What if I am between two sizes?
Take the smaller one. A tip that sits just inside your own edge holds far better than one that overhangs.
Can I shower and cook in them?
Yes, after the first hour. Very hot water for long periods will soften any glue, so dry your hands afterwards.
No question matches that. Try a shorter word, or just message us.
