Benelux’s #1 Gel Nail Strips brand, trusted by 50.000+ Maniacs.

Gel Nail Strips are ultra-thin, flexible stickers made from multiple layers of real gel polish. They’re already 60–70% cured, which makes them super easy to apply. Simply stick them on and finish the curing process under a UV or LED lamp. During this process, all the layers fuse into one strong, glossy top layer that looks and feels just like a salon manicure.

Each set comes with strips in different sizes, a file, cuticle stick, alcohol pad and, if you like, a top coat. The idea is simple: stick, cure, done

While regular nail stickers are usually made of thin vinyl and start peeling off after 3–7 days, Gel Nail Strips can last anywhere from 10 up to 21 days when applied correctly. They’re thicker, stronger, more flexible and resistant to bumps, water and daily wear. The finish is just like salon gel polish, but without the long waiting times and the hassle of layering coat after coat!

Oh absolutely. Gel Nail Strips are basically the superheroes of nail stickers. While regular stickers start chipping, wearing off or lifting at the edges after just a few days, Gel Nail Strips (when applied correctly) stay flawless for up to 21 days. Yep, really.

The secret? Gel Nail Strips have the same juicy gel structure as salon manicures, which makes them grip onto your nails like they never want to let go (don’t worry though, removal is still super easy). Regular polish barely makes it to 3–5 days, while our Gel Nail Strips last a solid 2–3 weeks.

Want to squeeze out the full 21 days? Start with clean, oil-free nails, cure them properly under the lamp, and add a top coat for extra shine & protection. Easy, long-lasting, and always Maniac-proof 😉

A flawless Gel Nail Strip manicure starts with… you guessed it: the perfect prep. Here’s how to apply Gel Nail Strips like a true pro:

Step 1 - Prep: Shape your nails with the nail file. Push back your cuticles. Clean your nails with the Maniac prep pad to remove any oils.

• Expert tip: Avoid lotions and oils 1 hour before application

Step 2 - Select: Hold the sticker sheet above each nail to see which gel polish sticker fits. Choose the right size and peel off the protective plastic of the sticker.

• Expert tip: Select a sticker slightly smaller than the width of your nail, when in doubt.

Step 3 - Peel Off: Hold the sticker sheet above each nail to see which gel polish sticker fits. Choose the right size and peel off the protective plastic of the sticker.

• Expert tip: Select a sticker slightly smaller than the width of your nail, when in doubt.

Step 4 - Cut: Cut the sticker, leaving a small excess for the next step.

Step 5 - Cure and Shape: Press the sticker around the edge to ensure no air is trapped underneath. Cure your nails under the LED light for 60 seconds. Remove the sticker buffer with the Nail Clipper and then smooth the edges with the file.

Step 6 - Top Coat it Off: Apply the Maniac top coat and cure under the LED light for 120 seconds.

NOTE: Ensure that the top coat does not touch the skin or cuticle.

All in all, it takes just 20–30 minutes. Way faster than a full gel polish session at the salon.

Yes, please. Only with a UV or LED lamp do the semi-cured layers of the Gel Nail Strips fully harden into a rock-solid, long-lasting mani. A lamp is a one-time buy (our mini LED-Lamp is just €25) and you’ll use it endlessly.

Yes, you can! Just make sure your lamp has at least 14 watts of power. Gel Nail Strips won’t fully harden under a weaker lamp.

Maniac’s mini LED lamps are 24 watts, so if you’re using a lamp that’s weaker (but still above 14 watts), the curing time we recommend might take a little longer. Check if your nail wraps and top coat feel fully hardened. If not, give them a bit more lamp time.

The wear time of Gel Nail Strips is anywhere between 10 and 21 days, depending on how well you prep and how kind you are to your nails.

On your toes? Gel Nail Strips can shine even longer there, sometimes up to 4 weeks (since toenails grow slower and take less impact).

In most cases, your Gel Nail Strip will grow out before it ever lifts.

Yes, and that’s one of the biggest reasons people switch to them. No acetone soaks, no endless filing, just a gentle method. Apply cuticle oil along the edges, let it soak in, then lift the Gel Nail Strip carefully with a wooden manicure stick.

Golden rule: never pull or rip. This way, your nails stay strong, your cuticles soft, and your hands happy.

Yes! When used as intended, Gel Nail Strips are super kind to your nails. Your skin barely comes into contact with liquid acrylates, which means the allergy risk is minimal. Our Gel Nail Strips are vegan, cruelty-free, HEMA-free and free from harmful chemicals.

Plus: no soaking in acetone, no heavy filing. Your natural nails stay happy and healthy.

Absolutely! And honestly, we wouldn’t want it any other way! Our Gel Nail Strips are completely safe to wear during pregnancy, since they're developed with gentle, skin-friendly ingredients and free from harsh chemicals.

We do, however, recommend skipping the topcoat while pregnant. That’s because gel polish in liquid form is sometimes advised against during pregnancy, and we prefer to stay on the safe side.

Our Gel Nail Strips are already semi-cured and contain no liquid components, so they’re perfectly safe to use while expecting. The topcoat is liquid, so just leave that one out for now.

Good to know: the topcoat adds extra shine, but it’s not essential for adhesion. Your nail wraps will still last a solid 2–3 weeks without it.

Oh yes babe, one of the biggest superpowers of Gel Nail Strips? They’re waterproof AF. Once cured properly under your UV or LED lamp, you can shower, swim, or even sauna without your Gel Nail Strips budging one bit. That’s why they’re perfect for anyone with a busy, active lifestyle, from dishwashing queen to swim champ.

Gel Nail Strips are made for every nail: long, short, tiny, or even if you still nibble a little. Just cut (or file) until the strip fits perfectly. Thanks to the strength of the cured Gel Nail Strip, you’ll often notice you’re way less tempted to bite or pick. On top of that, the strength acts like a shield. Especially for short or damaged nails.

Nope. A Gel Nail Strip is a one-time wonder. After removal you can’t reuse them , but hey, that just means it’s time to treat yourself to a fresh set or a fun new color!

Super quick – ready in about 20 minutes instead of 40–60 minutes of painting.

No mess – strips are pre-shaped, dry and ready-to-go.

Lower allergy risk – no wet gel touching your skin.

Instant nail art – from sleek solids to over-the-top designs, all pre-made.

No bubbles or streaks – always smooth & shiny.

Easy off - No aceton, no drama.

Our Gel Nail Strips? They start at just €18 per set, and that’s good for two complete manicures. Do the math: for €9 you get a full-on, salon-worthy manicure.

In the long run, you’ll save big. A salon gel manicure can easily cost €30–€45 each time. With Maniac, that same amount gets you multiple manicures, plus zero travel time.

✨ Never pull at your strips when removing. Always use cuticle oil and gently lift them. No ripping, no drama.

✨ Don’t store opened strips loosely. Otherwise they’ll start curing too soon and lose their magic.
