Nail Care

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.

Yes, they’re designed to!

Each box of our semi-cured gel strips includes a wide range of strip sizes to ensure a fit that works for most nail shapes and widths. That’s why every box contains multiple strips in different sizes—so you can find your perfect match.

• All fingernails include 20 strips, ranging in width from 9mm to 17mm
• All toenails include 32 strips, ranging from 6mm to 19mm in width
  

The strips are flexible and semi-cured, so they contour naturally to your nails and can be trimmed easily if needed. If you're curious about the specific sizes in more detail, you can check out our Gel Nail Strip Size Guide.

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.
