A small defect on the new WM doll

I am happy with the new doll overall, just a small defect need to be fixed: one of the toenails is glued backwards:

How do I safely remove this one toenail? pull it? use a knife? use some chemical? I am very afraid of break her.

Afterwards, How do I glue the toenail back?

I don't think it's backwards. Looks like the back is just not glued down all the way. Couple of my gal's are like that. They're attached with regular nail. Super glue works too. Toothpick makes a good applicator.

I guess you are right about direction. my sense of tonail has always been the flat is the front, and the small round is the back.

I see how to glue it now. How do I remove this one though?

Thanks!

You can just pull them off; I hold the finger-tpe while slowly pulling the nail...well off. BTW like others said, from the pic at first it did look backwards, but I think also it's just some glue fixing. Actually only use colored ones myself; never an issue, can sure recommend getting some sets of nails. I used to switch like every 2 weeks when I was really into that stuff. But yeah toothpic works nice to just add a bit of glue under it.
