Nice to have:

  • Nail and Cuticle Oil

How it works:

SCHRITT 01
PREPARATION

File your nails into your desired shape and gently push back your cuticles using the manicure stick. Lightly buff the nail surface and remove the thin cuticle layer at the base of the nail plate. Clean your nails thoroughly with the included cleaning wipe.

SCHRITT 02
SELECT SIZE

Hold the backing film with the gel strips over your nails and choose the appropriate size. If you're between two sizes, it's better to go with the smaller one to avoid the gel strip touching the cuticle, which could affect its durability. 


Tip: For short natural nails, the gel strip can be cut in half, allowing you to use it for a second application.

APPLY & PRESS THE GEL STRIPS

Peel off the protective film from the gel strips and apply them to your nails. Make sure not to place them on the cuticle. Gently smooth the gel strips from the center outwards, pressing the edges softly with the flat side of the orange wood stick.

CURE THE GEL STRIPS

Place your index, middle, ring, and little fingers centrally under the UV LED lamp and cure them for 2 x 60 seconds. Rotate your nails occasionally to ensure the edges are fully cured. Afterward, repeat the process for your thumb.

Schritt 06
FILE THE GEL STRIPS

Carefully file the gel strip into shape. It's best to file in one direction – from the sides towards the center of the nail. Make sure to apply enough pressure so you don't have to file too often. You can then correct the nail tip using the buffer.

Do you have any questions?

Can I use the Gel Strips on any natural nail length? Whether short or long?

Yes! Our Gel Strips are longer than most on the market, making them suitable even for particularly long natural nails. But they can also be used without any issues on shorter nails. Thanks to their extra length, one Gel Strip can even be used for two applications on shorter nails.

I have an allergy to Shellac or to the ingredients HEMA/DI-HEMA.

No worries – our Gel Strips are free from HEMA and DI-HEMA. We've received very positive feedback from customers with allergies who have experienced issues with regular Shellac.
