How To Apply Glaze

Step 1

PREP

Clean nails with soap and water.

Shape nails and push back cuticles using included manicure stick.

Use enclosed prep pad to ensure nails are clear from oils and residue.

Make sure nails are completely dry before application.

Step 2

SIZE & APPLY

Curve the sheet over each nail to find the best fit. Size down if in between sizes!

Remove the protective film. Gently lift the strip from the sheet, starting from the edge.

Place the strip over the center of your nail, starting at the cuticle line and smoothing outward.

For optimal adhesion, the strip should be placed above the cuticle line, avoiding skin.

Press down firmly from the center, then side to side.

PRO TIP: Spend an extra minute smoothing and pressing down the strip; the more you press = the better the adhesion.

PRO TIP: Using the manicure stick, gently and thoroughly press down on the strip to seal all edges before curing. This will prevent hair and debris from catching onto the nail strip perimeter.

NOTE: GLAZE may become stiff in colder temperatures. Once it is brought to room temperature, it will become flexible again for use. Strips can be warmed up between your hands before application.

Step 3

TRIM

Trim the strip flush to your nails using nail scissors or nail clippers.

Make sure the strip does not exceed your nail length.

Any overhang will cause lifting, chipping, or cracking.

Step 4

CURE & FILE

Press & hold the button on the back of the lamp for at least 1 second to power on.

Cure under the Mini LED Lamp for 60 seconds.

PRO TIP: Be sure not to expose unused strips to LED light while curing, as the strips will harden and become unusable. Store GLAZE in its container with the cover on while lamp is in use.

Position the nail file horizontally along your free edge.

File firmly across your free edge in one direction to remove excess.

PRO TIP: For optimal adhesion, avoid exposing nails to lotions, oils, or water for at least one hour after application.

Eli ★★★★★

The shine really delivers—these strips have that velvet shimmer that catches the light, and they’ve lasted over a week without peeling at the edges. Application was quick since they’re semi-cured, and the berry tone is deep and rich, not washed out.

Thomas ★★★★★

I was skeptical about gel strips because my nails are super curved, but these molded right on with almost no fuss. The velvet shimmer catches the light from every angle and the purple is so deep it looks almost black in dim light, plus they've stayed glossy for over a week with zero chipping.

Emily ★★★★★

The gel strips have such a rich, dimensional berry color that the velvet effect almost looks layered. They went on smooth and the shine held up for a full two weeks without chipping.
