What You Need
GLAZE semi-cured gel nail strips, an LED lamp (included in starter kits or sold separately), the enclosed nail file, manicure stick, and prep pads.
Step 1 — Prep Your Nails
Wash hands with soap and water. Shape nails with a file and push back cuticles using the manicure stick. Wipe each nail with the enclosed prep pad to remove oils and residue. Ensure nails are completely dry before application.
Step 2 — Size & Apply
Curve each strip over your nails to find the best fit — size down if you're between sizes. Remove the protective film. Gently lift the strip from the sheet and place it over the centre of your nail, starting at the cuticle line and smoothing outward. Press down firmly from the centre, then side to side. Spend an extra minute pressing down — the more you press, the better the adhesion.
Step 3 — File & Shape
Position the nail file horizontally along the contour of your nail. With one firm sweeping motion, file across the free edge. Ensure GLAZE does not extend beyond your nail length — any overhang will cause chipping. Use the manicure stick to press down and seal all edges before curing.
Step 4 — Cure Under LED
Place your hand under the LED lamp and cure for 60 seconds. The lamp fits four fingers at a time — cure your thumb separately. Do not expose unused strips to LED light while curing, as they will pre-cure and become unusable. Store unused strips in the GLAZE container.
Removal
Apply Magic Off or cuticle oil to the base of the nail. Using a manicure stick, gently and slowly lift the strip from the corner of the cuticle area. Saturate with additional oil to help loosen the adhesive. Do not rush — if you feel tension, apply more oil and wait.
