Nail Tips & Tricks: How to Get Clean Edges with Heyhae Nails

If you're already a fan of Heyhae sun-cured gel nail strips, you know how easy and fun they are to apply. But if you're aiming for that flawless, salon-quality look — smooth tips, no snags, and a perfectly polished edge — the secret lies in how you finish the edges. Clean, sealed edges not only make your mani look more professional, but they also help your nail strips last longer. Whether you're a first-time user or a nail strip pro, here’s a quick guide to help you perfect your mani every single time.

1. Trim the Excess First

After applying your Heyhae nail strips, use small nail scissors or clippers to gently trim off any excess at the tip. This helps avoid overstretching or tearing the strip.

 2. Don’t File Side to Side

It might be tempting to file like you would regularly, but going side to side can actually rough up the edges and cause peeling.

 3. File in a Downward Motion

For smooth, clean edges that last, file in one direction — downward. This helps the strip seal better at the tip and gives you that seamless look.

With just a few extra seconds of attention to your edges, your Heyhae nails can go from great to gorgeous. A smooth, sealed finish not only enhances the overall look but also helps prevent lifting or chipping, making your Heyhae nails last even longer. It's the little details that make a big difference — and your nails will thank you for it. 

Happy sun-curing and enjoy your flawless mani! ✨
