How To Apply & Storage

Proper storage is the key to keeping your Sweet Nails Gel Nail Stickers in perfect condition for flawless application: 

1.  Storage: Always store your gel nail stickers in their original packaging until you're ready to use them. Keep them inside the black pouch provided to protect from UV light, which can cause premature hardening. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
   

By following this simple step, you'll ensure your Sweet Nails Gel Nail Stickers stay fresh, flexible, and ready for a stunning manicure every time!

Application Guide for Your Nails

1.  Prep: Clean your nails thoroughly with alcohol pads to remove oils and debris. Let your nails dry completely before proceeding. 
2.  Pick: Select the right size strip for each nail by placing your nail underneath the sheet to ensure a perfect fit.
3.  Peel: Remove the clear protective film first. Gently peel the strip off its backing. 
4.  Stick: Place the strip near your cuticle, leaving a slight gap to prevent lifting. Press down firmly to secure it in place.
5.  Press: Use a wooden manicure stick to smooth the strip from the cuticle  to the tip, ensuring it adheres evenly and without air bubbles.
6.  Cure: Harden the strips by curing them under a UV lamp for 60 seconds. 
7.  Trim: Use a nail clipper to trim the excess strip, creating a neat edge close to your nail.
8.  File: File the edges downward in one direction to smooth out any roughness and achieve a flawless, polished shape.

By following these steps, you'll have stunning, long-lasting gel nails that look professionally done! Enjoy your beautiful manicure!

Removal Guide for Your Nails

1.  Insert: Gently slide the thin edge of the wooden stick under the proximal edge of the nail strip (where it meets the cuticle). Tip: Avoid forcing the stick downward—keep it parallel to the nail to prevent scratching the natural nail.
2.  Push: Slowly and horizontally push the stick forward toward the free edge of the nail. This loosens the strip's adhesive. Caution: If resistance occurs, pause and re-insert the stick slightly further along the edge. Never pry upward.
3.  Lift: Once the strip is loosened, lift is gradually from the nail bed. Work from the cuticle to the tip in one smooth motion. Warning: Do not rip or tug if it feels stuck. Repeat steps 1-2  to loosen stubborn areas.
4.  Clean: Wipe the nail with an alcohol pad to remove adhesive residue. This also preps the nail for future applications. Aftercare: Apply cuticle oil or hand cream to rehydrate nails after alcohol use. 

For Stubborn Strips: Soak a cotton pad in alcohol, press it on the nail for 10-15 seconds to soften the adhesive.

To Avoid Damage: Never use a metal tools or scissors—wooden cuticle sticks are gentler on nails.

For Reapplication: Ensure nails are completely dry and oil-free before applying new strips.

Pro Tip: New stickers feeling a bit stiff? Gently warm the sheet with a hair dryer on low heat for 5-10 seconds, holding it 6-8 inches away to soften them. This makes application smoother! Avoid overheating to protect the adhesives. Once warmed, press from the center outward to prevent bubbles.
