To ensure the glue gets only on the nail, it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
You may need to repeat this process a few times to get all of the dried glue off.

Hanna is also a fan of usingpetroleum jellyon any spots of skin with nail glue.

Hanna suggests rewashing your hands to remove any trace amounts of residue, then using a moisturizinghand creamandcuticle oil.
