Checking if a false nail has come off: Distinguishing it from a fingertip injury.

Is it just the nail that's fallen off, or is the fingertip also damaged? We'll organize the pre-glue inspection and how to communicate this to the retailer.

Store and observe the detached parts.

If a nail clip comes off, first place the clip in a separate container to avoid losing the parts, and then examine the fingertip in a well-lit area. A clip that has only peeled off, one with a tear on the surface, and one with exposed internal wires cannot be repaired in the same way. Do not try to move or push it back in; take a picture and consult the retailer.

Choose products that are suitable for both the nail and the body.

General nail products are not necessarily suitable for doll surface materials. Check the manufacturer's instructions for gluing nails and follow the specified products and drying conditions. If the nails are detached upon arrival, recording the order number and packaging condition before gluing will make it easier to check for initial defects.

A way to prevent snagging when changing clothes next time.

When clothing sleeves or accessories catch on your fingertips, force concentrates on that area. When putting on or taking off clothing, spread the fabric out and guide your fingertips through, making sure not to pull the sleeve forward by using your nails or fingers. Avoid repeatedly bending the garment immediately after it has been glued, and wait the instructed waiting time before handling it.
