HOW TO APPLY SEMI-CURED NAILS
What you'll need
• Craze Semi-Cured Gel Nail Stickers
• UV Lamp
• Scissors (optional)
• Gel Top Coat (optional)
✨ Included in every Craze set: wooden cuticle stick, nail file, and prep wipes
PREPARE YOUR NAILS
• Make sure your hands are completely clean and dry
• Shape your nails using the nail file
• Gently push back your cuticles with the wooden cuticle stick
• Clean each nail with a prep wipe to remove oils and improve adhesion
Pro Tip
Avoid creams, oils, or lotions for at least 1 hour before application. Your nails should be completely clean and dry for the best results.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
• Place the sheet over each nail to find the best fit
• Choose the wrap that most closely matches the width of your nail
• Carefully remove the protective film without touching the adhesive side
Pro Tip
If you're between sizes, always choose the slightly smaller one.
A small gap between the gel wrap and your skin is perfectly fine. If the wrap touches the skin, it may lift prematurely.
PEEL AND PRESS
• Carefully lift the gel wrap from the sheet using the wooden cuticle stick to avoid touching the adhesive
• Place it slightly above the cuticle line, making sure it does not touch the skin
• Press from the centre outward, then smooth down the edges
Important
The gel wrap should never touch your skin or cuticle. Leave a small gap to ensure a clean application and longer-lasting wear.
Pro Tip
Avoid touching the adhesive side and try not to reposition the wrap multiple times, as this can reduce adhesion.
CUT & SHAPE
For long, strong nails
• Fold the excess wrap over the free edge of the nail
• Gently file in one direction until the excess is removed
For short or softer nails
• Trim the excess, leaving a small amount to perfect after curing
Pro Tip
File horizontally, following the natural shape of your nail. This helps prevent rough edges or snagging.
FILE AND SMOOTH
• Cure your nails under the LED lamp for 60 seconds
• Smooth the edges with the nail file for a flawless finish
For long, strong nails
• File and shape your nails until you achieve your desired look
For short or softer nails
• Trim the excess with nail clippers so it matches the length of your natural nail
• Then gently refine the shape with the nail file
TOP COAT – FINAL SEAL
• Apply a thin layer of Top Coat to seal your manicure
• Cure under the LED lamp for 120 seconds
Important
Make sure the Top Coat does not touch your skin or cuticles, as this may cause premature lifting.
✨ Wear time: up to 21 days.
