In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to ensure your gel nail stickers look fabulous and last as long as possible.

How to Apply DIY Gel Nail Stickers

1. Prepare Your Nails

Clean and Trim: Start by removing any old nail polish or gel from your nails. Trim and shape your nails to your desired length and style.
Buff and Smooth: Gently buff the surface of your nails to remove any ridges and ensure they are smooth. This will help the stickers adhere better.
Cleanse: Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your nails are completely dry. You can use a nail cleanser or rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or residue.

2. Apply a Base Coat

Base Coat Application: Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail. This helps the stickers adhere better and can also extend their wear time. Allow the base coat to dry completely before proceeding.

3. Select and Apply the Stickers

Choose the Right Size: Select gel nail stickers that match the size and shape of your nails. Most sticker sets come with a variety of sizes to ensure a good fit.
Peel and Stick: Gently peel the sticker from the sheet. Position it carefully on your nail, starting from the cuticle and smoothing it out towards the tip. Use a cuticle pusher or your finger to press down and remove any air bubbles or wrinkles.
Seal the Sticker: Once the sticker is applied smoothly, seal it with a top coat. Apply a thin layer of top coat over the entire sticker and cure it under a UV lamp for 60 seconds or longer. This step helps to lock the sticker in place and gives it a glossy finish.

4. Final Touches

Clean Up: Use a clean-up brush dipped in nail polish remover or acetone to remove any excess sticker that may have overlapped onto your skin or cuticles.
Moisturize: Finish by applying a cuticle oil or hand cream to keep your nails and skin hydrated.
