Before you begin: which manicure do you have?
Semi-cured
A UV/LED lamp is needed.
If you have our Semi-cured (PRO) nail stickers, follow their dedicated tutorial. They need to be cured under a lamp.VIEW MY TUTORIALYour UV-Free manicure.
This guide is for your UV-Free manicure. You won't need a lamp.
GET EVERYTHING READY
Have your sheet of nail stickers, a Craze prep wipe, your wooden stick, scissors or nail clippers, and a file ready. Save the oil for removal.
01 · First, a good foundation.
Start with clean, completely dry nails, free from cream and oil. Gently push back your cuticles with the wooden stick and clean the entire surface of each nail with a Craze prep wipe. Let it dry before applying your first sticker.
02 · Find your fit.
Choose a sticker that fits your nail without touching your skin or cuticle. If you're between sizes, choose the one that stays within those edges: bigger doesn't mean a better hold.
03 · Apply. Press. Check the edges.
Place the sticker on your nail and press over the entire surface. Then gently go over the sides and tip with the flat part of the wooden stick. Give the whole edge a few seconds of attention — it's part of the finish, too.
04 · Trim to your natural nail.
Trim the excess with scissors or nail clippers. If you need to file, file downwards along the edge of your natural nail. Check that no sticker extends beyond it. For very short nails, careful trimming may work better than repeated filing.
05 · Two hours to settle.
Once you've finished, keep your nails dry for the first two hours and don't apply oil straight away. A good time for your manicure is after your shower, cooking and any other tasks involving water.
THE LITTLE DETAILS

WATCH THE APPLICATION UP CLOSECARE CONTINUES WITH REMOVAL
When you're ready for a change, start with oil.
Apply oil around the edges and gently lift the sticker a little at a time with the wooden stick. If you feel resistance, add more oil. Don't pull it off or remove it dry. Before applying another design, remove all traces of oil and prep your nails again.
Something not quite as you hoped?
