How To Use – Gel Liners
Step by step guide
1. Apply Your Base

Start with your chosen base:
• Semi-Cured Gel Nail Wraps
• UV-Free Gel Nail Wraps
• 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:
• Wipe excess product off one side of the brush
• Use light pressure when painting
• Work in smooth, controlled strokes

Less product = cleaner lines.

3. Create Your Design

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

If you’re new to nail art, you can:
• Rest your hand on a stable surface
• Rotate your finger rather than moving the brush

✨ And remember — 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:
• Streaking
• Wrinkling during curing
• Uneven texture

It’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:
• A cotton bud tip
• Or the rubber tip of your tweezers

Take your time — this is where the crisp lines reveal themselves.

6. Remove the Tape Carefully

Once you’re happy with your design, cure under your UV/LED lamp according to product instructions.

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

Do not skip this step — curing locks the design in place and prevents smudging.

7. Optional – Add a Top Coat

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

Cure again to seal and protect your design.

Top coat helps:
• Prevent chipping
• Smooth the surface
• Extend wear time

VIOLET MOON

Inspired by the Seven Sisters Festival — 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 don’t set until cured.

That means:

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

It’s nail art with flexibility — not pressure.

Gel liners give you full creative control — and because they don’t cure until placed under a lamp, you have time to adjust, refine, or wipe away and start again.
