FAQ

Your Maniac gel manicure should last between 2-3 weeks.

Yes, the Maniac gel polish stickers are safe to wear during pregnancy.

Each Maniac Manicure comes with 18 nail stickers of various sizes to ensure they will fit any nail size.

The Maniac stickers last 12 months unopened from the date of purchase. After opening the sealed package, apply your Maniac gel polish stickers ASAP. To preserve any remaining stickers and to prevent them from curing, store them in their original light block bag and keep them out of the light as much as possible. Use within 3 months.

Once a Maniac gel polish sticker has been applied to your nail it cannot be peeled off and used again.

Our gel polish stickers and top coats cure when exposed to UV light. To maintain their quality, always store them in a cool, dark place.

Keep any leftover sticker sheets in the original packaging and box to ensure they stay well protected. Also, make sure the cap on the top coat is tightly closed to prevent it from curing.Exposure to UV light can cause the products to harden unintentionally.

On average, applying a set takes around 20 minutes. The more often you do it, the quicker and easier it gets!

No need to worry, Maniac is super beginner-friendly!
Take a look at our step-by-step guide on the website

Make sure to check whether your nails fall under the 'long' or 'short' category, as we recommend a slightly different application technique for each. It makes the whole process a lot easier!

We’ve also made a quick tutorial on what not to do. Watch it here

Only open the stickers when you’re ready to use them. For the best results, apply them straight after opening.

UV light can cause our products to cure, which means the stickers and top coat might harden too quickly. So make sure you’re not applying your Maniac manicure in direct sunlight, whether indoors or outdoors.

Always keep any unused sticker sheets in their packaging, even while you’re applying a set. Also, make sure not to apply the stickers or top coat onto the skin.

Watch this short tutorial for these and more helpful tips!

Ready for a fresh Maniac set on your nails? Removing the gel polish stickers is easy, just follow these steps:

1. Apply cuticle oil along the edges of the sticker.
2. Gently slide the wooden stick (included in your manicure) under the edges and slowly lift the sticker while adding more oil as you go.
3. Repeat this process until the sticker comes off effortlessly. Don’t pull harder if you still feel resistance from the sticker, simply apply a bit more oil instead.The more oil you use and the slower you go, the better the result.

Rushing the removal can damage your nails.

The Maniac gel polish stickers will NOT damage your nails. However, not removing them properly may cause some nail peeling. So it's important to remove your Maniac gel manicure carefully!

Yes, you can apply a new Maniac manicure straight after removing the old one.Just make sure your nails are clean, dry and free of any oils before applying the new stickers!

When it gets colder outside, the gel polish stickers can become a bit stiffer due to the cold. That’s why we’ve got a winter hack that works brilliantly when applying your Maniac manicure in winter! Check out our tutorial

Always make sure your hands are nice and warm before applying. Warming up both the stickers and your hands will make the application process much easier.

It’s important to press down the edges of the stickers firmly before curing them under the lamp. This helps prevent hair from getting caught on the sides of the sticker.

If you apply the stickers from your pinky to your thumb, there may be a bit of time in between. During that time, the edges can start to lift slightly, and once cured under the lamp, this can create a small ridge where hair can catch. That’s why it’s a good idea to press the stickers down firmly one more time just before curing.

Still having issues? Apply an extra layer of top coat to properly seal the edges.

Absolutely, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! The gel polish stickers are safe to use during pregnancy.

However, we do advise against using the top coat while pregnant. This is because gel polish in liquid form is sometimes not recommended during pregnancy, and to avoid any risks, we support that advice.

Maniac gel polish stickers are already partially cured and contain no liquid components, so they’re completely safe to use during pregnancy. The top coat, however, is still in liquid form, so it’s best to skip it just to be safe.

Good to know: the top coat adds a glossy finish, but it isn’t essential for the stickers to adhere to your nails! Even without it, the stickers will still last for 2 to 3 weeks.

Our products are free from HEMA and DI-HEMA, but they do contain acrylates. Allergic reactions are most commonly associated with acrylates. If you have previously experienced an acrylate allergy, we advise against using our products.

The risk of developing an acrylate allergy is low when you apply the Maniac Manicure correctly. Here are some key tips:

Make sure the gel polish stickers and top coat do not come into contact with your skin. Use the lamp for the recommended amount of time. The risk of allergy is mainly present when gel polish is still in its liquid form. Since Maniac gel polish stickers are partially cured and no longer liquid, the risk of an allergic reaction is already significantly lower compared to gel polish from a bottle.

Cure the stickers under the lamp for 60 seconds and the top coat for 120 seconds. See our “How to apply” guide for more details.

Keep your Maniac gel polish stickers in their packaging if you're not using them. UV light causes the stickers to harden, which can make them harder to apply.

Don’t peel off your Maniac manicure without using cuticle oil. Apply enough oil underneath the sticker and gently peel it off to keep your nails undamaged.

Make sure to press down the edges of the stickers before curing them under the lamp. Alternatively, you can reapply the top coat after 7 days to prevent hair from getting stuck behind the sticker.

File the edges smooth only after the stickers have been cured under the lamp. It’s fine if the stickers aren’t perfectly filed before curing, they’ll be stronger once fully cured.

When filing, be careful to file under the nail and keep the file horizontal. Avoid filing on top of the sticker, as this may damage it.
