Anna Explains Why
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 and press
Peel the sticker off the sheet gently and press it onto your nail. Press around the edges.
Expert tip: Avoid touching the sticky side and leave a small gap between your cuticle and the sticker.
NOTE: Ensure that the sticker does not touch the skin or cuticle.
Step 4 – Cut or File
For long and strong nails (left): Fold the excess sticker around the nail edge and gently file it off.
For short and soft nails (right): Cut the sticker, leaving a small excess for the next step.
Expert tip: File horizontally to the nail edge to avoid hookies.
Step 5 - Cure and Shape
Cure your nails under the LED light for 60 seconds. Smooth the edges with the file.
After curing:
For long and strong nails (left): File off the excess and shape the nail.
For short and soft nails (right): Cut the sticker with a nail cutter until it matches your natural nail, then shape it.
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.
