Summer Nails inspiration with Gel Nail Stickers

Summer Gel Nail Stickers are the smart, modern upgrade to your standard nail sticker. The stickers consist of multiple layers of real semi-cured gel polish, for a look that’s not only beautiful but also super strong. Thin, flexible, and self-adhesive, they adapt effortlessly to the shape of your nails. Each set includes 28 stickers in different sizes, so there’s always a perfect fit – whether you have short, medium, or long nails.

The secret? The semi-cured gel structure: at home, you simply place the Gel Nail Stickers under a UV or LED lamp and voilà… a glossy, scratch-resistant, and long-lasting manicure, without the salon.

Gel Nail Stickers come in more variations than you can count – which is great news, because that means there’s always a set that fits you perfectly. Our Gel Nail Stickers are about 60% cured: flexible enough to apply smoothly, but after just a few seconds under the lamp they harden into a flawless, salon-worthy finish.

And when it comes to design? We’ve got it all: from classy French manicures and soft baby boom fades to sparkling glitter, subtle nude tones or bold, solid colors. Whatever your vibe or outfit, there’s always a Maniac match waiting for you!

These days, you can find Summer Gel Nail Stickers in plenty of places, but let’s be honest: not all stickers are created equal. 😉 At Maniac, you’ll always get the perfect mix of premium quality and a fair price. Our stickers are strong, flexible, ultra-glossy and stay flawless for up to three weeks, without making your wallet cry.

A flawless Summer gel sticker manicure starts with… you guessed it: the perfect prep. Here’s how to apply Red Gel Nail Stickers 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.

Absolutely! OurSummer Gel Nail Stickers adapt like a second skin, forming a flexible yet strong shield that acts like a mini-armor against cracks and splits. Perfect for short, brittle or fragile nails that need some extra love—while keeping your mani flawless for weeks.

Absolutely! And honestly, we wouldn’t want it any other way! Our summer gel nail stickers are completely safe to wear during pregnancy.

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 summer gel nail stickers 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 gel nail stickers will still last a solid 2–3 weeks without it.

On average, our stickers stay picture-perfect for 10 to 21 days, and sometimes even longer if you prep properly and finish with a topcoat. Even with lots of typing, workouts or hands in water, they hold up beautifully.

Fun fact: users with weak or brittle nails often find that the stickers last even longer than liquid gel polish, since the thin yet flexible base layer moves naturally with the nail.

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 sticker 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.

So if someone asks, “Who has the best red gel nail stickers?” you already know the answer.

Summer Liquid gel polish: applied in multiple liquid layers (base, color, top), cured after each one. Takes 30–60 minutes and requires a steady hand.

Summer Semi Cured Gel Nail Stickers: all those layers are already built into one sticker. Stick, cure, done in 20–30 minutes. No mess, no stress, no drying time.

Durability: both last 2–3 weeks, but stickers are especially great for short nails and give you instant access to endless nail art designs.

Removal: gel polish requires acetone soaks and patience; stickers come off easily with oil and a manicure stick..

Of course! You can shop our full collection directly via the Maniac website. Order on a weekday before 8 PM, and they’ll be at your doorstep the very next day.

Starter sets – including lamp, 2 designs topcoat and tools: €50–€120

Single sets – A single set costs €18-€23 and is enough for 2 complete manicures, so one manicure costs around €9–€11,50.

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.

Pros:

• Super quick & foolproof—even if it’s your first time.
  
• Endless choice—from classy nudes to bold glitter.
  
• No mess, no stress—just perfect nails.
  
• Salon look without the salon price (and major long-term savings).
  
• Gentle on your nails—easy removal, no damage.
  
• A true time saver—ideal for busy lifestyles.
  

Cons:
Honestly? Just one: you still have to apply them yourself. Sticker application isn’t rocket science, but it may take a little practice. 😉 The topcoat gives that extra shine, but requires some skill. Skip it if you’re not in the mood. The stickers look stunning even without it.

Our fans rave about the simplicity, strength and wide variety of designs. Beginners and busy bees especially love the time saved: a manicure in 20–30 minutes instead of 45–60 with traditional gel polish.

Pro tips:

• Always work on clean, oil-free nails.
  
• Never pull when removing. Use oil instead.
  
• Use the right lamp and timer.
  
• Don’t store opened stickers loosely. They may cure prematurely..
