Can be used as is, or can be bent around the curve of the nail.
Place on one end and stick, then use a bend and stick motion - can be tricky!
Stick with it and practice.
**The thinner pieces are easier to bend of course, the thicker lines can be encapsulated as straight lines**
Please note this material is quite fragile & thin - take care when bending to ensure no breakages.
Recommended to stop tape short of any free edge or side walls, and completely encase in a ticker gel, or 2 top coats to ensure material is prevented from peeling.
