Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this kit suitable for children?

This product is generally intended for adult use or under adult supervision, especially during application, due to the use of adhesives and cosmetic products. Always check product warnings for age recommendations.

What kind of adhesive should I use?

A skin-safe prosthetic adhesive, such as spirit gum or a medical-grade adhesive, is recommended. These are typically sold separately at costume or specialty makeup stores.

Can I reuse the prosthetic scales?

Yes, the prosthetic scales are designed to be reusable if carefully removed and cleaned according to the care instructions. Proper storage is key to maintaining their quality.

Does the kit include makeup or adhesive?

No, this kit primarily includes the prosthetic scales. Adhesive, makeup, and other cosmetic enhancers are sold separately and are necessary for a complete transformation.

How long does the transformation typically last?

With proper application using a reliable adhesive and setting spray, the prosthetics can last for several hours, suitable for a full event. Reapplication of adhesive may be needed for very long durations.

What are the green prosthetic scales made of?

The prosthetics are crafted from high-quality materials designed for comfort and durability, providing a realistic look. Specific material composition may vary; refer to product packaging if available.

Troubleshooting

Prosthetics not sticking well

Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of oils or makeup. Use a high-quality, skin-safe adhesive and apply it evenly to both the prosthetic and the skin. Press firmly and hold for adequate bonding time.

Prosthetics causing skin irritation

Discontinue use immediately. Test a small, inconspicuous area of skin with the adhesive and prosthetic before full application. Ensure you are using skin-safe products and are not allergic to any components.

Difficulty blending edges with makeup

Use a stippling sponge or a fine brush with cream or liquid makeup that closely matches the prosthetic and your skin tone. Apply thin layers and build up coverage gradually.

Prosthetics feel stiff or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size and placement. Some flexibility may be gained by gently warming the prosthetic slightly (not with heat) before application, and ensuring it's applied to a smooth surface. Choose prosthetics made from flexible materials if possible for future purchases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Clean and dry the application area on your skin thoroughly. Apply a skin-safe adhesive (sold separately) to the back of the prosthetic scales and press them firmly onto the desired areas of your face or body. Hold in place for a few moments to ensure a secure bond. Use additional makeup (sold separately) to blend the edges of the prosthetics with your skin tone and add depth and shading for a more realistic appearance.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use on skin and is compatible with most standard skin-safe adhesives and cosmetic makeup products. It is intended for use by individuals who can safely use such products.

Care: After use, carefully remove the prosthetics using an appropriate adhesive remover (sold separately). Clean the prosthetics gently with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely before storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their shape and adhesive surface for future use.
