Semi-cured gel nail strips are flexible gel stickers made from real liquid gel polish that’s been cured about 60% of the way under UV light.

That means they’re still slightly soft and stretchy when you apply them — so they can mold perfectly to your nail shape — and then become fully hardened once you cure them under a UV lamp.

They’re like having a salon gel manicure, but in sticker form.

[How to Apply]

1. Clean your nails with alcohol pad
2. Select strips that match your nail size
3. Apply strips onto your nails and press firmly along the edges
4. Trim excess close to nail length
5. Cure under UV light 1-2 times for 60 seconds each
6. File edges lightly for a smooth finish

Pro Tips

• Avoid moisture + oils before application
  Sweat, water, hand cream, and oil can reduce adhesion.
  Wash hands thoroughly and dry fully before applying.
• Use on your natural nail length
  Semi-cured gel strips are designed for natural nails and are not recommended as nail extensions.
• When between sizes, size down
  Choosing a slightly smaller strip gives a cleaner fit and keeps the gel within your natural nail line.
• Cut or stretch for a custom fit
  The strips can be trimmed or gently stretched to perfectly fit your nail shape — ideal for advanced DIY users wanting a seamless result.

[How to remove]

1. Use a wooden stick to gently lift the gel strip from the nail edge.
2. Slowly work across the nail until the strip releases.
3. Clean your nails with an alcohol pad afterward. 

Pro Tips

• For the gentlest removal, apply cuticle oil or remover serum around the nail edge first. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the adhesive, then begin lifting the edge. 
• For stubborn areas, add more oil and take your time. Do not force or rip off the strip - this helps protect your natural nails and keep them smooth and healthy.
