How To Useย โ€“ Gel Liners
Step by step guide
1. Apply Your Base

Start with your chosen base:
โ€ขย Semi-Cured Gel Nail Wraps
โ€ขย UV-Free Gel Nail Wraps
โ€ข Or any fully set base colour

Ensure your base is properly applied and cured (if required) before moving to the next step.

2. Prepare Your Brush

Before applying:
โ€ข Wipe excess product off one side of the brush
โ€ข Use light pressure when painting
โ€ข Work in smooth, controlled strokes

Less product = cleaner lines.

3. Create Your Design

Use the long, fine brush to create:
โ€ข French tips
โ€ข Curved smile lines
โ€ข Straight lines
โ€ข Chrome-style outlines
โ€ข Minimalist detailing

If youโ€™re new to nail art, you can:
โ€ข Rest your hand on a stable surface
โ€ข Rotate your finger rather than moving the brush

โœจ And remember โ€” if you make a mistake, simply wipe it off before curing and try again.

4. Apply Thin Layers

Thin coats are key.

Applying too much product at once can cause:
โ€ข Streaking
โ€ข Wrinkling during curing
โ€ข Uneven texture

Itโ€™s better to apply a thin first layer, cure, then add a second thin coat if needed.

5. Remove the Tape Carefully

Before curing, gently peel the tape away slowly and steadily.

If needed, clean up any minor edges using:
โ€ข A cotton bud tip
โ€ข Or the rubber tip of your tweezers

Take your time โ€” this is where the crisp lines reveal themselves.

6. Remove the Tape Carefully

Once youโ€™re happy with your design, cure under your UV/LED lamp according to product instructions.

Thin layers cure best and give the smoothest finish.ย Ensure the full design is exposed evenly to light.

Do not skip this step โ€” curing locks the design in place and prevents smudging.

7. Optional โ€“ Add a Top Coat

For best results, finish with:
โ€ข Gloss Top Coat for shine
โ€ข Matte Top Coat for a soft, modern finish

Cure again to seal and protect your design.

Top coat helps:
โ€ข Prevent chipping
โ€ข Smooth the surface
โ€ข Extend wear time

VIOLET MOON

Inspired by the Seven Sisters Festival โ€” silver moons, scattered stars, and a deep violet base

A few weeks ago, I was getting ready for Seven Sisters Festival and wanted my nails to match the vibe, feminine, a little bit witchy, and properly celestial.

Beginner-Friendly & Forgiving

One of the best things about gel liners? They donโ€™t set until cured.

That means:

  • You can adjust
  • You can wipe off
  • You can try again

Itโ€™s nail art with flexibility โ€” not pressure.

Gel liners give you full creative control โ€” and because they donโ€™t cure until placed under a lamp, you have time to adjust, refine, or wipe away and start again.
