Advantages of nail stickers

Nail stickers are becoming more and more popular in the nail art industry due to their many advantages. Here are some of the main advantages of nail stickers:

Convenient and fast

Nail stickers are very simple to use and do not require professional skills or tools. Just press the stickers on the nails and trim the edges to complete the manicure. Moreover, unlike traditional nail polish, stickers do not need drying time and can be used for daily activities immediately after application.

High efficiency and durability

Many high-quality nail stickers have long durability and can stay on the nails for days or even weeks without peeling off easily like ordinary nail polish.

Diverse designs

Modern nail stickers have rich designs and patterns, ranging from simple colors and patterns to complex artistic designs. You can choose and try different nail styles.

Protect natural nails

Compared with traditional nail polish or phototherapy nails, nail stickers will not cause additional damage to the nails and do not need to use strong solvents to remove. At the same time, chemicals can be avoided. The nail stickers we provide do not contain harmful chemicals, reducing potential damage to nails and skin.

Cost-effectiveness

Compared with going to a nail salon to do complicated nail art, nail stickers are a more affordable option. And from the perspective of lasting effect, long-term durability reduces the need for frequent replacement, which is more cost-effective in the long run.

Self-DIY

Nail stickers can not only meet the needs of free creation, but also be flexibly adjusted. You can change the design or try different styles at any time to meet personalized needs.

In short, nail stickers have become a popular choice for many nail art enthusiasts because of their convenience, rich design, and long-lasting durability. They can not only provide a variety of nail art effects, but also provide a convenient nail art experience in daily life.

 

How to use nail stickers?

Applying nail stickers is a fun and easy way to add some sparkle to your nails without the hassle of traditional manicures. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you apply nail stickers correctly:

Prepare your nails

Before you start applying nail polish or removing stickers, clean your hands and nails to remove any dirt, oil, or residue. You can also use nail polish remover. Even if you don't have nail polish on your nails, cleaning your nails before applying nail polish will prevent the stickers from falling off prematurely.

In addition to cleaning, you can also shape and polish your nails as needed. File your nails to the length and shape you want. Lightly polish the surface of your nails to ensure that your nails are smooth and flat.

Apply base coat

Apply a layer of base coat to your nails. This helps protect your nails and create a smooth surface for the stickers to stick on. Remember to let the base coat dry completely.

Choose and prepare stickers

Choose the sticker design you want. You can choose from fresh, hot summer, sweet, cool girl... and choose the corresponding style of stickers. We offer a wide variety of sticker styles, so you can choose your own, or contact us for custom designs!

Then, carefully peel off the sticker once you’ve chosen your style (you can also use tweezers to remove the sticker for extra caution). Be careful not to touch the sticky side with your fingers to keep it clean.

 

Apply the stickers

After removing the stickers, apply them one by one to the designated nails, gently pressing each sticker into place to secure them. Then, use a nail tool or your fingers to gently press and smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles.

Apply a top coat of nail polish

Seal your look with a top coat, making sure to cover the entire nail from cuticle to tip and cap the end. Let dry for about five minutes. During this time, avoid any activities that may smudge or damage the stickers.

 

Tips for best results:

Avoid contact with water: After applying the stickers and topcoat, try to avoid getting your hands wet immediately as this will weaken the adhesive.

Store properly: Keep the nail stickers in a cool, dry place to prevent them from drying out or losing their stickiness.

Use high-quality stickers: Choose high-quality nail stickers for better adhesion and longer-lasting results.

With these steps, you should be able to apply nail stickers smoothly and enjoy a stylish look on your nails.
