How To Use Your Semi-Cured Gel Nail Strips
GETTING TO GRIPS WITH YOUR GELLY STRIPS
GETTING TO GRIPS WITH YOUR GELLY STRIPS
Wash your hands with soap to remove every trace of oil. Clean nails grip better.
Gently push back your cuticles. Clear edges help your strips stay put.
Wipe each nail with the alcohol pad, then let them dry completely.
The strips have different widths. Pick the one that best fits your cuticle shape. Between sizes? Pick the narrower one.
Set the sticker just above your cuticle, not touching it. This helps prevent lifting as your nails grow.
Press the sticker down firmly to activate the glue. Then gently smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles.
Flatten the strip's edges with the wooden stick. Trim off the excess with nail scissors or clippers. Then file gently before curing.
Cure your nails under a UV or LED lamp to harden your stickers. 60-90 seconds should be enough, but repeat if needed.
Give each nail a final file to perfect the shape. You can seal with a top coat for extra gloss and wear. Avoid liquids and creams for an hour.
Gently lift the edges of the strip to create small gaps. Use the wooden stick to work in a few drops of cuticle oil (or polish remover).
Gently slide the wooden stick back and forth to work in more oil. As the glue softens, the strip will lift without pulling or scraping.
Wipe each nail with the included alcohol pad to remove any leftover adhesive. This leaves your nails fresh and ready for your next set.
And that’s it. Your gel nail strips are off. We suggest letting your nails rest a few days before applying your next set.
