Add some rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball or cotton pad and apply it to your painted nails.

Pick one of the map cuttings and carefully place it on the specific nail with the printed side down. Now, lightly press it down with a dry cotton pad. Hold it for approximately 15 to 20 seconds and then remove the cotton pad.
