Nail Sticker Application Guide
- Wash your hands and dry them thoroughly.
- Apply sunscreen to your hands 15-30 minutes before the following Steps. Avoid getting sunscreen on your nails and wipe off if you do.
- Using the curved side of the Gelous Nail File, gently push back your cuticles. This provides a clean surface for the gel polish to stick to, while creating longer, more even looking nails.
- Using the 180 grit side (fine side) of the Gelous Nail File, file your nails to the desired shape, making sure the edges of each nail are smooth.
- Using the 180 grit side (fine side) of the Nail File, gently buff the entire surface of each nail. Make sure the whole nail appears dull (not shiny) from the buffing, paying particular attention to the sides of your nails and around the cuticle, as this is where lifting may occur prematurely if they are not buffed correctly.
- Apply Nail Polish Remover to a Lint Free Wipe and thoroughly clean your nails, under your nails and around your cuticles. This removes dust and oils on your nails while dehydrating the nail bed, giving the Base Coat a fresh surface to apply to.
- Apply a thin coat of the Gelous Base Coat to your nails as outlined in Step 8. Thinner is better to ensure proper curing. Cure as outlined in Step 9.
- Apply a thin coat of Gelous Base Coat to your nails and cap the free edge (view capping diagram here). Cure for 60 seconds with the Gelous UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp. When applying, leave a small gap between the Gel Nail Polish and your cuticle. Aim to avoid getting any Gel Nail Polish on your skin or cuticle, however if you do, remove it with an Orangewood Cuticle Stick before curing.
- Apply 2-3 thin coats of Gelous Colour Coat and cap the free edge. Cure after each coat for 60 seconds with the Gelous UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp.
- Using the Gelous Nail Art Tweezers, gently peel off the Gelous Nail Art Sticker you would like to use. Avoid touching the sticky side with your fingers, as this will reduce adhesiveness.
- Using the Gelous Nail Art Tweezers place the Gelous Nail Art Sticker on your nail.
- Press the surface of the Gelous Nail Art Sticker gently with the angled length of the Nail Art Tweezers to make sure it is completely stuck down on your nail.
- Apply a thin coat of Gelous Top Coat and cap the free edge. For best results use the thicker Gelous Rubber Top Coat. Make sure there are no air bubbles around the sticker. Cure for 60 seconds with the Gelous UV/LED Gel Nail Lamp. Your Gel Nail Polish should be hard and smooth after the final cure.
- Apply Gelous Cuticle Oil around your nails and rub into your skin to nourish and moisturise.
