The image in the cane runs all the way through it, and each slice will have the same design. Some of our canes have a milky white border around the image. This is translucent clay used to pack the design, to give it support while being reduced. This translucent border generally disappears during application to the nail.

How to apply the slices to the nail, using gel or acrylic:
1) Apply a thin layer of product to the nail.

1b) For gel, cure the layer 1 minute. Then add slices of clay nail art, being careful not to overlap the edges of the slices. Slices can be trimmed or cut as desired to achieve a clustered look by placing the slices so they touch. Lay a small square of plastic wrap over the nail and finger, and press the plastic snugly around the finger. Adjust position of slices if necessary by nudging them back into place through the plastic. Place nail under lamp for 1 minute, being careful to keep plastic wrap snug around finger.

1c) For acrylic, place the slices into the product while it is tacky. Press the edges of the slices down with an orange stick; the translucent clay will clarify as it seals onto the nail, making it easier to see which areas need to be pressed down.

1d) If desired, slices can be glued in place onto cured product: Place a small amount of glue where desired and lay the cane slice on top, pressing the edges of the slice into the glue with two orqange sticks.

2) Spread a layer of product over the slices to seal them in and create a smooth surface. Cure the layer. Repeat. File and finish as desired.

3) Clear acrylic nail polish can be used, but three or more coats may be needed before the surface of the nail is completely smooth, and the cane slices may need gentle filing to smooth the edges down before adding the polish. This isn't the best method, but if you don't want to use the acrylic or gel, this is an option.

The slices will last the life of the nail, and will not ship or flake off. To remove slices: file through product and slices will file out with product. If completely removing nail enhancement by soaking, the nail art will come off with the nail product.

The NeoFlex Nail Art canes and slices will last indefinitely when stored in a warm, dry place away from direct sunlight. All polymer clay nail art is best used at temperatures above 70 degrees farenheit.

As with all handmade products, small variations may occur in size, color, or design.
