Prep Your Nails
• Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
• Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles.
• File your nails to your desired shape and buff the nail surface lightly for better adhesion.
2. Clean Your Nails
• Wipe each nail with a nail cleanser or rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or residue. Clean, oil-free nails help the strips stick better.
3. Choose the Right Size
• Select the strip that best fits each nail. If needed, use scissors to trim the strip to fit your nail size.
4. Apply the Strip
• Peel off the gel strip from its backing and place it on your nail starting at the cuticle, pressing down gently.
• Smooth the strip from the cuticle toward the tip, removing any bubbles.
5. Trim and File
• Fold the excess strip over the edge of your nail and file it off in a downward motion for a clean edge.
6. Seal the Strips (Optional with UV Lamp)
• For added durability, place your nails under a UV lamp for 30-60 seconds to cure the gel layer. This step helps make the gel strips last longer.
7. Finishing Touch
• Avoid submerging your nails in water for a few hours after application to help them adhere better.
