How to Apply Gel Nail Stickers

How to Prep Your Nails

1. Wash your hands thoroughly to remove any oils or residue, then gently push back your cuticles.
   
   
2. Lightly buff the surface of your nails using a nail file or buffer to help the gel stickers adhere better.
   
   
3. Wipe each nail with an alcohol pad and allow them to dry completely before application.

How to Apply Ritzygel Nail Stickers

1. Choose the best fit for each nail. Each sticker has two different sizes on either end to help match your nail shape perfectly.
   
   
2. Peel off the clear protective film, then carefully lift the gel nail sticker from the sheet.
   
   
3. Apply the sticker slightly away from the cuticle line and press it gently onto the nail. If needed, stretch the sticker slightly for a better fit.
   
   
4. Firmly smooth down the sticker from the center outward to remove air bubbles. Use the wooden cuticle stick to press around the edges for a secure seal.
   
   
5. Trim away any excess sticker using nail scissors or nail clippers.
   
   
6. File off the remaining excess in a downward motion for a smooth, natural finish. Make sure the sticker does not extend past your natural nail length, as the stickers are not intended to be used as extensions alone.
   
   
7. Cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds. For extra shine and longer wear, apply our Diamond Top Coat before a final cure.
