Necessary Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all of the following items:

  • Glaam Nails UV Gel Strips
  • UV LED lamp (included in some packs)
  • Nail file
  • Wooden stick or cuticle pusher

Step 1: Nail Preparation

  1. Wash your hands : Make sure your hands and nails are clean and dry. Use a sanitizer to remove any dirt or oil.

  2. Prepare nails : File your nails to the desired shape. Make sure the surface is smooth and even.

  3. Push back cuticles : Use a wooden stick to gently push back cuticles. This will help ensure optimal adhesion of the UV gel strips.

  4. Clean nails : Remove any dust or residue with a disinfectant or alcohol-soaked cotton pad.

    Step 2: Selection and Application of Bands

    1. Choose the right size : Each Glaam Nails kit contains multiple sizes of strips. Layer each strip on the nail to find the size that fits best. Always go for a slightly smaller size to avoid any spillage.

    2. Remove the protection : Carefully peel the UV gel strip from its backing. Avoid touching the adhesive surface to ensure good adhesion.

    3. Apply the strip : Position the strip on the nail, centering it carefully. Press firmly from the center to the edges to avoid air bubbles and ensure even adhesion.

    4. Smooth the strip : Use a wooden stick to smooth the edges and remove any air bubbles or wrinkles. Make sure the edges are sealed well.

      Step 3: Curing and Finishing

      1. Cure under UV lamp : Place your fingers under the UV lamp for about 60 seconds. This will allow the UV gel strip to fully cure for long-lasting hold.

      2. Check adhesion : Once the curing time has elapsed, check that the strips are well fixed and smoothed. If necessary, repeat the process to ensure a perfect finish.

      3. Moisturize your cuticles : Apply some cuticle oil to nourish and moisturize the skin around your nails. This will keep your hands healthy and add a touch of shine to your nails.

        • Maintain your nails : To extend the life of your manicure, apply a coat of clear top coat every few days.
