This should give you a good idea if this is something you wish to continue doing. Plus the number of caps means that if you make a mistake there are still plenty left. This is a good starter kit.

PS I like the idea of multi colored nails. That way if you do have some rejects it won’t matter or mess with needing an exact amount of one color.

You can always graduate to one color once you have the technique mastered.

How To Apply Cat Nail Caps

Choose the correct size for your cat or kitten. All of the products will specify the approximate size you will need.

Most cat nail caps come in small, medium and large and may also specify the weight of the cat.

Nail caps that are too large, will come off.

To start, trim the nails of the cat. Do a couple of claws at a time if the cat is not too keen on having his claws trimmed.

It is certainly worth reading the pros and cons of cat nail caps before making up your mind about cat nail caps.

Don’t Overfill The Caps With Glue

Fill the caps ⅓ with glue. Take care with this. Avoid having an overflow. You may want to wear some rubber gloves.

If glue does get on the cat’s fur it can be removed with nail varnish remover.
Let the caps dry before letting the cat disappear. This is a good time to pull out a kitty treat or give the cat a massage using a pet message glove.

When you do let the cat go observe the cat to make sure that all is okay. It is normal to expect that a cover may fall off.

If they continually fall off check that the size you have isn’t too big.

Once again, have a groomer or the vet put them on for the first time if it is too difficult.
