How to use the French Nails Cutter Tool? Step 1: Product Application: Place the medium of your choice near the area you would like to cut. Step 2: Setting: Take the French Nail Cutter Tool, and hover it over the nail you plan to shape. Use this to decide and estimate how long you want it to be. (Pro Tip: Wait a few seconds to let it get to a texture that is in between liquid and solid to get a cleaner cut!) Step 3: Cutting: Carefully place the French Nail Cutter tool over the medium and onto your nail bed. Then, sweep it off in a gliding motion to the free edge. (Pro Tip! You may place or prime the French Nails Cutter Tool with a bit of powder, whichever acrylic powder you used or DP01 Clear (if gel polish was used), for a more stable and dry cut.) Step 4: Cleaning: Using the blunt end of the French Nail Cutter Tool, carefully sweep away the excess medium. You may also use a light buffer to gently remove the remaining residue from the nail. How to clean the French Nail Cutter Tool? Step 1: After swiping the French Nail Cutter tool on the nail, remove any leftover dirt by wiping it clean. Step 2: To disinfect your tool, you may place alcohol on a cotton ball and quickly swipe it. Make sure to dry the tool after every use to avoid corrosion. It's best to sanitize the French Nail Cutter Tool before using it on another client, especially if you plan to use it on multiple customers.
