Ready to glow up your fingertips? Here’s your step-by-step DIY manicure tutorial 2025, perfect for at-home nails!

Step 1: Prep Like a Pro

The secret to long-lasting gel strips starts with clean nails.

• Gently buff your nails to smooth the surface.

• Wipe away dust and oils with the provided alcohol prep pad.
  This ensures your Heyhae gel strips grip perfectly — no lifting, no bubbles.

Step 2: Apply and Adhere

Now for the fun part!

• Peel and press your Heyhae gel nail stickers, starting from your cuticle line and pressing outward.

• Make sure the edges are sealed tight.
  Once they feel secure, it’s time for a little sunshine magic — step outside and cure them under natural sunlight until they harden beautifully.
  
  

Step 3: Don’t Over-Cure!

Heyhae’s formula is super responsive to natural UV.

• Check your UV index — if it’s around 3+, you’re good to go.

• Avoid staying too long in direct sunlight; your strips cure fast, so you don’t want to overdo it.
  
  

 Step 4: Seal the Deal

For an ultra-durable finish:

• Apply a thin layer of top gel coat over the entire nail.

• Cure under an LED lamp for a few seconds. This step locks in shine and strength, making your mani last through every coffee cup and keyboard tap.

Bonus Tip: The Acetone Edge Hack

To keep your gel strips sealed tight, dip a small brush in acetone and gently swipe around the edges of each nail. This little trick helps prevent lifting and keeps your sun-cured mani flawless longer.
