How To Apply & Remove DIY Gel Nail Stickers

 

Gellae gel nail stickers are to be kept in its original black pouch until ready for use. With exposure to UV, it will start curing/hardening on the sheet. 


How to prep your nails


1. Wash your hands to remove oils and push cuticles back.

2. Rough up your nails using a nail file.

3. Clean nails with an alcohol wipe and leave to dry.

How to apply gellaes

1. Find the right size for your nail. Each end of the Gellae sticker has a different width to match your cuticles

2. Peel off the clear protective film, then peel the Gellae sticker.

3. Apply it to your nail, avoiding the cuticles. Stretch gently if needed. 

4. Press down firmly and smooth out any air bubbles. Press firmly around the edges with the wooden cuticle stick to seal the Gellae in place.

5. Trim any excess Gellae with nail clippers or scissors.

6. File off the excess sticker in a downward motion to smooth the tip. Ensure the Gellae does not extend beyond your nail length—Gellae stickers are not designed to act as extensions on their own. However you can extend them with our Diamond Top Coat (6 in 1 + Extensions Gel) , see instructions below.

7. Cure under a UV/LED light for 60 seconds. Tip: apply our diamond top coat for a better seal.

8. Done! Take a photo and tag us @gellaenails, we’d love to see your fresh mani! Now make sure to avoid contact with water for at least 2 hours post application.

Want to extend your Gellaes past your nail length?

You can add up to 3mm of extra length using our Diamond Top Coat, which doubles as a lightweight extension gel. Here’s how:

  1. After applying and curing your Gellae as usual, trim/shape the free edge to your desired extended length (up to 3mm).
  2. Apply a thin layer of Diamond Top Coat over the nail and on the underside of the extended tip.
  3. Cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60-120 seconds. Be sure to cure the underside of the extended tip. 

 

How to remove gellaes


1. Use the wooden cuticle stick to gently lift Gellae from one side off your nails. Apply our Nourishing Cuticle Oil & Gellae Nail Remover or nail polish remover to help loosen the adhesive. Gently slide the wooden stick under the Gellae until it’s fully off the nail. 
2. Clean your nails with an alcohol prep pad. You’re ready for your next set!

 

USE IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING TO PREVENT UV EXPOSURE AND GELLAES FROM HARDENING ON THE SHEET


Tip: If the stickers are stiff on the sheet immediately upon opening, gently heat the sticker sheet with a hair dryer for a few seconds to soften, before application
