If you're looking for a flawless manicure without going to the salon, Glaam Nails UV gel strips are the perfect solution. This detailed tutorial will guide you step by step on how to apply your gel nail stickers like a pro. Follow these steps for easy application and flawless results.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, make sure you have all of the following items:

  • Glaam Nails UV Gel Strips
  • UV LED lamp (included in some packs)
  • Nail file
  • Wooden stick or cuticle pusher

Step 1: Preparing Your Nails

  1. Wash your hands: Make sure your hands and nails are clean and dry. Use a disinfectant to remove any traces of dirt or oil.
  2. Prepare your nails: File your nails into the desired shape. Make sure the surface is smooth and even.
  3. Push back the cuticles: Use a wooden stick to gently push back the cuticles. This will help the UV gel strips adhere better.
  4. Clean the nails: Remove any dust or residue with a disinfectant or alcohol-soaked cotton pad.

    Step 2: Selecting and applying the strips

    1. Choose the right size: Each Glaam Nails kit contains several sizes of strips. Overlap each strip on the nail to find the size that fits best. Always opt for a slightly smaller size to avoid any overlap.
    2. Remove the backing: Carefully peel the UV gel strip off its backing. Avoid touching the adhesive surface to ensure good adhesion.
    3. Apply the strip: Position the strip on the nail, centering it carefully. Press firmly from the center toward the edges to avoid air bubbles and ensure even adhesion.
    4. Smooth the strip: Use a wooden stick to smooth the edges and remove any air bubbles or creases. Make sure the edges are well sealed.

      Step 3: Curing and Finishing

      1. Cure under the UV lamp: Place your fingers under the UV lamp for about 60 seconds. This will allow the UV gel strip to cure completely for long-lasting wear.
      2. Check adhesion: Once the curing time has elapsed, check that the strips are securely attached and smooth. If necessary, repeat the process to ensure a perfect finish.
      3. Moisturize your cuticles: Apply a little cuticle oil to nourish and moisturize the skin around your nails. This will keep your hands healthy and add a touch of shine to your nails

        Additional Tips

        • Avoid water: For the first few hours after application, avoid soaking your hands in water to allow for better adhesion.
        • Maintain your nails: To prolong the life of your manicure, apply a coat of clear top coat every few days.
        • Gentle removal: To remove the UV gel strips, use a wooden stick and cuticle oil or another oily oil to gently lift the strips without damaging your nails. For more information, visit our dedicated page: " How to remove our UV gel strips "
