Expert tip: Avoid lotions and oils 1 hour before application.
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.
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.
Fold the excess sticker around the edge of the nail and remove the sticker buffer with the scissors or nail file. Cure your nails under the LED light for 60 seconds. Smooth the edges with the file.

Remove your gel polish stickers easy and damage-free:
Shimmy the wooden stick underneath the edges of the sticker. Apply the cuticle oil along the edges of the sticker. Slowly lift the sticker away from the nail.
Expert tip: Don't peel off the gel polish stickers without the cuticle oil, you may take the top layer of your nail with you.
