Amazing product, soooo satisfied!!
When I first read the (very thorough and detailed) instructions, I was intimidated. I had gel polish on my big toes remaining that I wasn't willing to work to hard to remove at home, so I knew that could be a problem.
I think the reason people might find this process difficult is that not everyone has a lot of experience doing nails or getting their nails done. For the adhesive in the package to work you have to have a dry surface that has been roughed up a bit with a file, but free from that debris. The instructions say to soak your foot in order to fit the contraption, leave it for a bit, and then there is a very important blow drying step (you can air dry, but it has to get dry, that is the key). There's a step to rough it up with the provided nail file and then a very important alcohol swab step. This is required to get a good bond for the glue!
When it comes to actually gluing the brace on... it's tricky. For people with low mobility or who are inflexible, this can be very difficult to do on your own. You have to keep the brace very still after you've set the glue and hold it for a bit, and if you can't reach or get a good angle, you might not get the best bond.
The whole process took me 30 min by myself..I felt immediate pressure relief BUT I had severe toe pain for 1.5 days after. I'm sure this is because my toe was already pretty inflamed before I started, but if you think about it... your body is also filling a gap left by your toenail, so maybe that's also part of the pain? Anyway, after that initial time I WAS PAIN FREE AND IN BASICALLY 2 DAYS MY TOENAIL WAS FLAT AND CHILL. Honestly, I didn't know my left toe was supposed to look like that (see pic). I don't have a before pic, but it was red and angry and painful and similar to my right toe.
I'm going to do my right toe next. I wish I had done my left sooner.
Of note, about a week in for left toe, one of the sides came up because the gel polish underneath finally gave up. The fix was super easy, and I just put a little more glue down and held for a minute. Piece of cake and no pain.
