How to use gel nail stickers

Learn how to apply our gel nail stickers for a smooth, salon-style manicure at home. They are flexible, semi-cured gel stickers—not hard plastic press-on nails.

1

Prep your nails

Start with clean, dry nails. Shape the free edge and gently push back your cuticles with the tools in our manicure set. Finish by cleaning every nail with a prep pad to remove oil and dust.

Pretty tip

Avoid hand cream and cuticle oil for at least one hour before application.

Choose your size

Hold the sheet over your nails and match each gel nail sticker to your natural nail. Peel away the clear protective layer before lifting the sticker from the sheet.

Pretty tip

Between two sizes? Pick the slightly smaller one so the gel never touches your skin or cuticle.

Peel, place and press

Lift the sticker without touching the adhesive. Place it just below the cuticle, press down the centre, then smooth both sides firmly to remove air pockets.

Pretty tip

Leave a tiny gap around the cuticle and sidewalls for a cleaner, longer-lasting finish.

Trim and file

Fold the excess over the free edge. Trim longer pieces with nail scissors, then file gently in one downward direction until the edge feels smooth.

Pretty tip

Do not saw the file back and forth across the sticker—gentle downward strokes help keep the edge sealed.

Cure and finish

Cure each hand under a compatible UV/LED lamp until the gel is fully hardened, then refine the shape if needed. New to gel stickers? Our Starter Kit brings the essentials together.

Pretty tip

Press the edges down once more before curing for the smoothest possible seal.
