Nowadays, the internet abounds with nail art ideas, inspiring us to create unique and stylish designs. However, if you have a hard time deciding on a choice or want to make a complex manicure without significant effort and time expenditure, nail stickers are the perfect solution. They allow you to turn a minimalistic manicure into a real work of art in seconds.
It is important to remember that the correct application of nail stickers plays a key role in their appearance and longevity. To ensure your stickers look perfect and last a long time, follow our detailed guide on how to apply them.
Most nail stickers come on transparent sheets, which is of practical use. The transparent sheet makes it easy to visualise how the stickers will look on your nails. Simply remove the sticker sheet from the packaging and use it to "test" the location of the stickers before applying them.
Choose a place for the sticker and gently roll up the sheet to pry up the corner of the chosen sticker. Carefully lift the sticker off the sheet and stick it onto your nail, then gently smooth it with your fingertip. This will help avoid bubbles and ensure an even fit, preventing curling and peeling. For greater precision and to keep the delicate sticker in place, use tweezers when lifting and placing it on the nail.
To make your sticker manicure last for a long time, you should properly fix the stickers with a topcoat. Apply two thin layers of topcoat for a secure fixation and dry them in a UV lamp. You can also use a clear gel build-up before the top to ensure even longer lasting sticker retention.
