how To Apply
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.

Required Items for maximum use
- Seal the Tips: After applying the strip, gently fold it over the nail tip and file off the excess with a fine-grit file. This helps prevent the edges from catching and chipping.
- Add a Clear Top Coat: Applying a layer of clear gel top coat can help reinforce the strip’s durability. This creates a protective layer to reduce chipping.
- Avoid Picking at Your Nails: Gel nail strips are more likely to chip if you use your nails to open things or pick at items. Try to be mindful and use tools instead of nails when possible.
- Clean Your Nails Thoroughly: Make sure to remove any oils and dirt by cleaning your nails with an alcohol wipe or non-acetone nail polish remover before applying the strips.
- Push Back Cuticles: Gently push back cuticles so the strip doesn’t overlap them. If it touches the cuticle, it can lift as your nail grows.
- Choose the Right Size: Pick a strip that fits your nail size closely. If it overlaps onto your skin, it will lift more easily.
- Press Down Firmly: Smooth down the strip from the center to the edges, pressing out any air bubbles. This helps it adhere better and reduces the chance of lifting.
- Avoid Water Right After
- Application: Water can weaken the adhesive, so try to avoid washing your hands or soaking nails for at least an hour after application.
- Add a UV Top Coat for Extra Durability: Applying a UV gel top coat and curing it under a UV lamp can significantly extend the life of your strips, giving them a salon-quality finish.
- Reapply Top Coat Every Few Days: Adding a clear top coat every few days can help maintain shine and protect against wear and tear, making the strips last longer.
