FAQ's
What are semi-cured gel nail stickers?
Gentlegel is the perfect in-between of regular polish and salon gel. Our flexible gel strips come 60% cured. Soft enough to shape onto your nails, but once cured under a UV lamp, they harden into a durable, glossy finish that lasts.
Do I need a UV or LED lamp?
Yes, a UV or LED lamp is essential to fully cure the strips and set the gel. It’s what locks in that long-lasting, salon-quality result.
Are they safe for my nails?
Yes, Gentlegel strips are designed to be gentle on natural nails. There's no harsh filing, no glue, and no damage when applied and removed correctly. Making them a healthier alternative to acrylics or frequent polish changes.
What if I have a sensitivity to gel products?
Our gel strips are formulated to be hypoallergenic and free from many of the common irritants found in traditional gel products. However, the optional top coat may contain ingredients that can cause sensitivity. If you’ve had a previous reaction to gel, we recommend doing a patch test first, or speaking with a dermatologist before use.
Can I apply them over gel or acrylic nails?
Yes, Gentlegel works beautifully over existing gel or acrylics. Just ensure the surface is smooth and clean before applying.
How do I apply them?
Application is simple:
- Clean and prep your nails
- Select the right strip size
- Apply and press down firmly
- Trim any excess and smooth edges using the wooden stick provided
- Cure under your UV or LED lamp
- File to finish
Can I mix and match different designs?
Absolutely. Gentlegel is all about creative expression. Combine sets, layer finishes, and create your own look. It’s part of the fun.
How do I remove them?
Just gently lift the edge of each strip using a wooden stick, then soak with cuticle oil or an acetone-free remover. Let it loosen naturally and peel off slowly.
What if the strips don’t fit my nails exactly?
You can easily trim or gently stretch the strips to fit. They're flexible and designed to adapt to a wide range of nail shapes and sizes.
How long do they last?
With proper application, your Gentlegel manicure can last up to 14 days with minimal chipping or dulling.
Are they reusable?
No, once cured and removed, the strips cannot be reused. However, each set includes extras, so you’ll always have backup sizes on hand.
