Size chart

Getting the right fit is the secret to a flawless, long-lasting mani. That’s why every set of Gelly semi-cured gel nail strips includes a wide range of sizes—so you can find your perfect match, no matter your nail shape or width.

What’s in the Box?

Each Gelly fingernail pack includes 20 gel nail strips, ranging from 9mm to 17mm wide. That means more sizing options and fewer compromises—because good nails shouldn’t come down to guesswork.

Each strip is semi-cured for effortless application—flexible, durable, and streak-free for a salon-quality finish at home. With a range of sizes in every pack, you get a tailored, comfortable fit a perfect wrap every time.

How to Choose the Right Size

Match by width: Hold the strip over your nail to find the closest fit. It should sit comfortably without touching your cuticle or skin.
When in doubt, size down: A slightly narrower strip is better than one that overlaps—this ensures proper adhesion and prevents lifting.
Trim for Fit: Snip off the excess length with scissors before curing, then file the edge smooth once the gel has been cured for a clean, salon-quality finish.

Common Questions:

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.
