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.
