Excited about your nail stickers and want them to go the distance? With a few simple tricks, you can enjoy your perfect manicure for up to two weeks. Here’s how:
1. Start with a Clean Slate
Begin by cleaning your nails thoroughly with nail polish remover. Removing natural oils and moisture gives the stickers a stronger bond—this step is essential for a long-lasting finish.
2. Choose the Right Size
Picking the correct size is key. If you’re between sizes, choose one that’s slightly smaller to avoid lifting at the edges. This way, you avoid any overlap on the skin, which can cause peeling.
3. Apply Carefully, Leaving a Small Gap
After peeling off the top film, place the sticker slightly away from your cuticle. This lets the sticker adhere fully to the nail without touching the skin.
4. Cure All Sides of the Nail
For the best hold, don’t just cure the top of your nail—also cure the underside, especially if your nails are a bit longer. This step ensures the stickers are firmly set from every angle, reducing the chance of peeling.
5. Avoid Excessive Length
Keeping your nails at a manageable length can help. Longer extensions create less contact area with the nail bed—think physics: more contact area equals a stronger hold. If nails are too long, stickers may lift or peel more easily.
6. Minimize Extended Water Exposure
Our nail stickers are waterproof, but for the longest wear, try to avoid soaking your nails in water for long periods.
With these tips, your nail stickers will stay put, keeping your manicure looking fresh. And if you’re curious about removal, stay tuned for our next post with all the tips you’ll need! Enjoy your long-lasting nail art!
