How to use To start using your silicone practice hand, insert the base nail tip in the cuticle pocket as deeply as you can and your hand is now ready to use. You can practice nail art and extensions this way. Just remove the nail from the cuticle pocket and insert a new one. We use long square tips for a more natural effect. The Base Nail Tips are sold separately and are not included with the silicone hand. If you would like to make the base nail more stable, use the Red Iguana Primer for Silicone Hands and Gorilla Glue Gel. Apply a thin layer of Red Iguana Primer for Silicone Hand onto the silicone nail bed and let it dry for 10 seconds. Insert the base nail tip into the cuticle pocket as deeply as you can. Apply a small amount of glue between the nail tip and silicone finger and gently press the nail to the nail bed. Hold for 30-60 seconds. Make sure to remove any glue excess from the cuticle area. Let it dry for 5-15 minutes. After that, you can start using your hand again. Repeat steps when applying a new set of nails. To remove, we recommend filing off the acrylic until reaching the base nail using an e-file. DO NOT touch the silicone with the nail bit. Try not to file off the base nail (just like with a real person's nail).  Silicone does not dissolve in acetone. If you decide to soak-off the acrylic, with enough time the nail should dissolve deep under the cuticle area. Please be gentle, you may accidentally damage the cuticle or rip off any material with part of the silicone nail bed (do not use pusher). DO NOT RIP OFF NAILS! Ripping off the nails may permanently damage the hand. If you wish to use your hand without filing or soaking off, we recommend using double-sided glue tabs with full coverage nail tips.  DO NOT BEND FINGERS IN UNNATURAL POSITIONS! The metal wiring inside may break and permanently damage the hand. DO NOT BEND FINGERTIPS IN UNNATURAL POSITIONS! The silicone at the fingertips is very thin and the armature may poke through permanently damaging the silicone hand. Treat fingers as you would treat a real client's hand. Any returns made with the damages stated above will not be honored. If you accidentally damage the silicone hand, ripped the cuticle, or sides, you can fix it with Sil-Poxy by Smooth-on. Just apply a small amount of Sil-Poxy on the damaged area and let it dry completely. If your hand is dirty with dust, glitter/chrome, etc., wash it with soap in warm water as you would a human hand. You can use a soft brush to remove chrome and flakes. Important Information Please note that each hand is hand-made so there could be a slight difference from our pictures: slightly different skin color, small bubbles, bumps, or lines. Please note that hands are very similar to real hands which is ideal for mastering your skills. They have thin cuticles and sides. DO NOT cut them! They hold the nails in the cuticle pockets.  Red Igiana hands are ready to use and perfect for newbies, schools that need models (no more "model no show" problems), and for technicians who want to play with materials in their free time. Rings and bracelets are complimentary and are not included in the hand's pricing! They are a gift from us to you. They are included with every hand order, as long as we have them in stock.
