You remove one side of the protective sticky cover and place it on your real nail. You remove the other protective cover (which is what you now see on your real nail) and press the false nail unto what can best be described as a sticky little piece of tissue.
IF a nail falls off, there is NORMALLY sticky residue on the false nail and the "tissue like sticky" is on your real nail.....But I'll have to test that out to see how consistent that is.
These nails come off sooooooo easily. I always carried extras with me on special occasions....and apparently, this chick did, too.
So where was she before she got to the Duke's house? Why did she arrive with some nails already missing (per photos)....and a half hour late??
Here is an ad from 1985 to illustrate. :)

Another possibility is that the report could say something like "...specimen is a XYZ cell typically found in ABC tissue."
Using "tissue" hoping one will think the specimen was a chunk or slice of skin is misleading if, in fact,the scraping, material, whatever consisted of a few cells.
I am wondering if this is misinformation purposely being put out there.
Oh well, you & I are either very,very smart or very, very stooooopid. :-)
Do you live near Syracuse?
