Everything you need to know about semi-cured gel nails
Why opt for semi-cured gel nails instead of regular nail polish? Let’s explore their fantastic benefits:
Durability and Longevity: Semi-cured gel nails are recognized for their resilience, with the ability to withstand daily wear and tear while staying flawless.
Shiny Brilliance: Say goodbye to dull nails! Semi-cured gel nails retain their brilliant shine for an extended duration, making them ideal for both everyday glam and special occasions.
Quick Application: Unlike the lengthy process involved in applying acrylic nails, semi-cured gel nails offer a speedy and trouble-free application. Spend less time on your manicure and more time showcasing it.
Instant Drying: Forget the cautious waiting associated with traditional nail polish. Semi-cured gel nails are instantly dry and ready to go as soon as they’re cured under a UV or LED lamp.
Artistic Freedom: Whether you prefer classic hues or love experimenting with intricate nail art, semi-cured gel nails provide a versatile canvas for your creative expressions to shine.
Handle with Care: While durable, they are not invincible, treat semi-cured gel nails delicately. Refrain from using them as tools for tasks like opening cans or scratching surfaces.
Keep dry after application: The bond between your natural nails and the semi-cured gel can weaken if exposed to water right after curing. Avoid soaking your nails immediately after application.
Inspect regularly: Periodically inspect your semi-cured gel nails for any signs of lifting or chipping. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
Cuticle Care: Maintain the health and appearance of your semi-cured gel nails by keeping your cuticles and the surrounding skin hydrated. Integrate cuticle oil or a moisturizing hand cream into your routine.
No. Unlike normal gels, Pretty Fraai nails will not thin or damage your nails once removed. The gels stick to your nails using a medical adhesive that is strong and durable but also safe.
No, they are designed to be the same length as your natural nails and should not be used as an extension.
Each pack contains 20 nail strips in 10 different sizes. Line your nail against the strip sheet then compare which size best matches the width of your cuticle and nail bed. Don’t worry if isn’t an exact match as you can stretch the semi-cured gel to configure to your nail.
Your nail wraps will harden if exposed to warm or bright light (sunlight or UV LED lamps). Please store any unused or leftover nail strips in a cool, dark place. Use the silver sticker provided to reseal original packaging.
YES. The nail strips come out of the package semi-cured, meaning that the liquid gel in your strips has only been 60% pre-hardened. It is recommended that you cure your nail strips under a UV lamp for at least 60 seconds for the liquid gel to completely harden.
Warning: the nail strips are sensitive to light. Avoid using your UV lamp near any unused nail strips.
The lamp must be plugged into a USB outlet during use.
It features two time settings – 60 seconds and 120 seconds. At least 60 seconds is recommended for use with our gel wraps. You can adjust the time using the button on the lamp’s main body.
Press button once for 60 seconds.
Hold button for 2 seconds for 120 seconds.
It is recommended that you cure your nail wraps 1 – 3 times for the liquid gel to harden completely.
Base Coat:
It is recommended that you refrain from using a base coat underneath your nail strips as the strips adhere more to clean and bare nails.
Top Coat:
The nail strips come pre-treated with a gel top coat. However, if you’d like to extend the length of your manicure you can apply a gel top coat along the edges of your nail strips.
Typically, gel nails last for about 2-3 weeks.
