Don't Poke Your Eye Out: How to Handle Contact Lenses with Long Nails

Introduction
It is the ultimate beauty dilemma: You want glamorous Long Coffin nails, but you also have terrible eyesight.
The fear is real. Trying to pinch a contact lens with a sharp stiletto nail feels like performing surgery with a knife.
But ask any nail influencer—they manage to do it every day. How?
At TsukiNails, we believe you can have 20/20 vision and cute claws. Here is the secret technique to removing contacts safely.

1. The "Pad Pinch" (Not the Tip!)
The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to use their fingertips (where the nail is).

• The Technique: You need to use the pads (fingerprints) of your index finger and thumb.

• How: Flatten your fingers completely so the nails point away from your eye. Approach the eye from the sides, not straight on. Pinch the lens gently with the fleshy part of your finger pads.

2. The "Scissor" Method
If your nails are extremely long (XL length), the Pad Pinch might not work.

• The Technique: Use your index finger and middle finger like a pair of scissors (creating a "V" shape).

• How: Place one finger on the top eyelid and one on the bottom. Push gently to "squeeze" the lens out. The lens will pop forward, and you can grab it with your lashes or catch it.
