How to Apply Maniac Gel Nail Stickers

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.
