FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Sun-Cured Gel Nail Strips!
Sun-cured? Semi-cured? Gel nail stickers? What is it? Whether you are a pro at using gel nail strips or you’ve never heard of it until now, today we will be answering everything you need to know about Heyhae Sun-cured Gel Nail Stickers and the best way to use them!
What are semi-cured gel nail strips?
Semi-cured gel nail strips are pre-made gel nail designs that are partially cured (usually 60%) and harden when exposed to UV light. The curing process usually takes about 30 seconds per nail. Unlike traditional gel nails that require a longer process of applying liquid gel polish and curing with an LED lamp, these strips are a convenient and fast way to do your nails since all you need to do is apply, trim, and cure.
How does Heyhae Solar Gel work to be "sun-cured"?
Heyhae Solar Gel's middle layer is where innovation happens. Imagine this layer as a super sponge that loves to soak up sunlight. While other gels bounce light off like a trampoline, Heyhae Solar Gel embraces them, letting sunlight do its magic. Most gel nail strips require a special lamp to cure them, but Heyhae Solar Gel skips the lamp and goes for the direct source of light—the sun. Its top layer paves the way for every ray, big or small, to reach the middle layer. This contact with sunlight kickstarts curing in every direction and layer, so there's no need for an LED lamp. That's the magic of Heyhae "sun-cured" gels!
How do I apply sun-cured gel nail strips?
Applying sun-cured gel nail strips is simple and quick. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Prepare Your Nails: Clean and dry your nails, pushing back cuticles and lightly buffing the surface.
- Choose the Right Size: Select the strip that best fits each nail.
- Apply the Strips: Peel off the backing and press the strip firmly onto your nail, smoothing out any bubbles or wrinkles.
- Trim and File: Trim the excess strip with scissors and file the edges to fit your nail shape.
- Cure in Sunlight: Expose your nails to direct sunlight for 5-10 minutes to fully cure the gel.
Can I use a UV/LED lamp with Heyhae sun-cured gel nails?
Yes, you can use a UV/LED lamp if you prefer. For longevity, a quick 5 seconds under the lamp will do. Any more time than that could overdo it, and you may feel the heat. However, the primary curing method relies on natural sunlight.
Are sun-cured gel nail strips safe for my nails?
Yes, sun-cured gel nail strips are safe and designed to be gentle on your natural nails. They don't require harsh chemicals like acetone for removal which reduces the risk of nail damage and breakage.
How long do sun-cured gel nail strips last?
With proper application and care, sun-cured gel nail strips can last up to two weeks. Their longevity depends on factors like your nail growth rate and daily activities. For longer-lasting results, avoid prolonged exposure to water and dirty activities.
What if the gel nail strip doesn’t fit my nail?
Heyhae sun-cured gel nail strips are super soft and flexible. You can stretch the strip to fit your nail shape before applying. Just make sure to avoid direct sunlight for long periods after opening the package to prevent the strips from hardening in the sun.
