Your Questions, Answered

How long do gel nail strips last?

Most customers enjoy 2+ weeks of wear when applied correctly.

My nails are short. Will they work for me?

Absolutely! Our gel nail strips are designed to fit a variety of nail shapes and lengths.

However, if your nails are very short, some designs may lose part or all of their pattern when trimmed. For the best results, we recommend starting with our Short Nail Friendly collection, which features designs specially selected for shorter nails.

Can I use gel nail strips as nail extensions?

No. Semi-cured gel nail strips are designed to harden enough to fit and hold their shape on your natural nails, but they are not intended to become as rigid as acrylic or press-on nails.

For the best results and longest wear, we recommend trimming the strips to match your natural nail length rather than using them as extensions.

If you would still like a little extra length, we recommend extending no more than 2mm beyond your natural nail edge and applying a top coat to help seal and reinforce the free edge.

Do I need a top coat?

No, a top coat is not required. However, we highly recommend it, as it adds extra shine, helps seal the edges, and provides additional protection for longer-lasting wear.

My gel nail strips are not flexible before curing. What happened?

Semi-cured gel nail strips can begin curing when exposed to sunlight or strong UV light before application.

If the strips feel stiff or less flexible than usual, they may have been exposed to light for an extended period.

To keep them in the best condition, always store unused strips inside the black protective film and keep them away from direct sunlight until use.

Why did my gel nail strips fall off early?

In most cases, early lifting or peeling is caused by the application process.

Common causes include moisture or oil on the nails before application, applying over the cuticle area, or exposing the nails to water too soon after application.
