Gelly

Yes! Gelly’s gel nail strips are designed to be gentle on natural nails while delivering the long-lasting wear of a salon gel manicure. They are free from formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP)—ingredients often found in traditional nail products.

Made from acrylic-based gel resins that cure under UV light, our formula offers a less invasive removal process that helps prevent nail thinning or peeling. When applied and removed correctly, they minimize the risk of damage to your natural nails.

Our semi-cured gel strips have also been independently tested and meet strict European cosmetic safety standards, including REACH and CLP regulations.

What about skin sensitivity?
Our gel strips contain ingredients commonly used in salon gel products. While safe for most users, those with sensitive skin or known acrylic allergies may experience mild irritation. If you have a history of sensitivities, we recommend doing a small patch test before full application.

No, Gelly’s semi-cured gel nail strips are not press-on nails.

Traditional press-ons are usually pre-formed artificial nails made from acrylic or plastic that attach to your natural nail using glue or adhesive tabs. In contrast, our gel strips are real gel nails, crafted from the same gel ingredients found in salon gel nail polish. They're flexible, adhesive-backed gel layers that cure under a UV lamp for a natural look, superior comfort, and longer-lasting wear.

Gelly gel nail strips are designed to be long-lasting, gentle on your nails, and easy to remove—all thanks to an advanced adhesive that ensures a perfect fit while allowing for effortless removal when you're ready for a change.

A Secure, Flexible Hold
Each strip features an ultra-thin adhesive layer that gently molds to your nail. As you press it into place, the adhesive activates, creating a firm yet flexible bond. Once cured under UV light, the strip sets to your nail’s shape, ensuring a seamless, natural-looking finish that lasts.

Effortless Removal Without Damage
Unlike traditional gel polish, which bonds directly to your nail bed and requires soaking or filing for removal, Gelly’s adhesive acts as a protective barrier. It holds strong during wear but is designed to dissolve when exposed to oils. A few drops of cuticle oil, acetone-free remover, or even cooking oils gently break down the bond, allowing the strip to lift away smoothly—no scraping, no damage.

Developed to Meet High Safety Standards
Gelly’s adhesive has been carefully formulated in line with European safety standards and assessed by a third-party testing body. It is free from harsh chemicals, making it a trusted choice for regular use on natural nails.

Our semi-cured gel nail strips are designed to last up to 14 days with proper application and care. Their durability depends on factors like nail preparation, daily activities, and exposure to water or oils. For the longest wear, ensure a clean, dry nail surface before application, and cure the strips fully under UV light.

While our gel strips are designed to be worn without a top coat, if your nails experience heavy daily use or strain, we recommend sealing them with our optional High Gloss UV Top Coat for extra protection and durability.

If you're new to semi-cured gel nail strips, applying them might take a bit longer as you get the hang of it. However, after a little practice, a full application typically takes around 30 minutes, and removal just 10–15 minutes.

Unfortunately not. Although Gelly’s strips are pre-cured to a semi-cured state for ease of application, the final curing step under a UV or LED lamp is essential. This process fully sets the gel, ensuring durability, shine, and a long-lasting finish. Skipping this step may compromise the performance of the strips.
