Two pack formats
Mercury Mosaic is a 10-piece sized set: choose XS, S, M or L before ordering. Aqua Glaze contains 24 reusable nails in assorted sizes, with no size selection needed. These are different ways to find your fit, so check the format before adding a set to your basket.
Nails, adhesive and tools
Aqua Glaze and Mercury Mosaic both list the following complimentary tools. Use these as examples, then read the included-items section for the particular style you choose.
| Item | What these product pages list |
|---|---|
| Nail pieces | Aqua Glaze: 24 assorted-size nails. Mercury Mosaic: 10 nails in your selected size. |
| Adhesive | 2 sheets of adhesive tabs with each of these sets. |
| Prep tools | 1 nail file and 1 wooden stick with each of these sets. |
| Application help | The product page’s How to Use section and the online Application & Removal Guide. |
If you plan to use nail glue, check the listing rather than assuming it comes in the kit. The tabs and nail glue guide helps you choose for your planned wear.
Check the contents before you start
- Compare the nail count and tools with your product page’s included-items list.
- Lay out the best-fitting nail for each finger before opening adhesive.
- Set out any extra prep items your application method needs, such as cleanser or wipes, after checking what is included.
For a sized set, use the product page’s Size chart before ordering. The Size & Fit Guide shows how to measure.
Before opening adhesive
Start with clean, dry nails and keep your tools within reach. Follow the Application & Removal Guide for prep, pressure and aftercare. It also explains gentle removal so you can clean and store reusable nails for another wear.
Common kit assumptions
- Not every set is a multi-size box: sized sets contain 10 nails.
- Product photos can show styling props; use the included-items list to check what comes with the set.
- Do not assume nail glue, cleanser, wipes or a buffer are included when the listing does not name them.
