Apply the Gel Nail Stickers

Pink Gellac

Step 1: Choose the Gel Nail Sticker in your size

Hold the sticker sheet above each nail to see which gel nail sticker fits best on the nail. Make sure the Pink Gellac logo is on the right side, so the gel nail sticker is not applied upside down.

Step 2: Remove the protective film

Choose the right size and carefully remove the protective film from the gel nail sticker.
Tip: In doubt? Choose a gel nail sticker that is slightly narrower than your nail width, so that the gel nail sticker only sits on the nail. This will prevent the gel nail sticker from coming off prematurely.
Tip: Are your nails narrower than the gel nail stickers? Then trim the sides with the nail scissors to create the perfect size.

Step 3: Apply the Gel Nail Sticker on the nail

Carefully take the gel nail sticker from the sheet and apply it to your nail. Press the gel nail sticker firmly and smooth the edges with the flat side of the woodstick. Important: Leave a small space (1 mm) between the gel nail stickers and your cuticles to prevent the gel nail stickers from coming off prematurely.

Step 4: Cut the Gel Nail Stickers

Use the nail scissors to cut the gel nail stickers to the length of your natural nails. When doing this, leave a small edge for step 6.

Step 6: File the Gel Nail Stickers

Step 7 (optional): Apply Top Coat

For extra strength and extra shine, you can apply a thin layer of Shine Top Coat. Try to avoid frequent skin contact with the Top Coat. If some Top Coat does get on your cuticles or skin, remove it immediately and before curing with the Gel Polish Corrector Pen, a woodstick, a Cleaner Pocket or a Nail Wipe with Cleaner. Let the Top Coat cure for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. Wait two minutes and then remove the sticky layer with a Cleaner Pocket or a Nail Wipe with Cleaner.
