The Best Nail Prep Routine Before Using Heyhae Sun-Cured Nails

If you're looking to get the most out of your Heyhae Sun-Cured Nails, proper nail prep is absolutely essential. Think of it as the foundation of a flawless manicure—when your nails are properly prepped, your manicure will not only look better but last longer too. Here’s a quick and effective routine to follow before application:

Why Nail Prep Matters

Heyhae’s innovative sun-cured gel nails adhere best to clean, dry, and slightly textured nail beds. Smooth nail surfaces may look polished, but they can prevent proper adhesion. Just like with acrylics or gel extensions, creating a lightly buffed and oil-free surface is key to long-lasting results.

 


 

Your Step-by-Step Nail Prep Routine

1. Cleanse your hands. It's important to wash your hands with warm water and soap to remove any bacteria and dirt. 

2. Shape and File
 Start by trimming and shaping your nails to your desired length with a nail clipper and nail file. Whether you love a soft round edge or a ballerina tip, this is your time to customize. You may also push back and trim your cuticles if needed. 

3. Buffing
 Gently buff the surface of each nail to remove shine and smooth out imperfections. This step also creates a slightly rough surface that helps the gel nail stickers adhere better.

Tip: Don’t skip this! Even though it’s often overlooked, buffing is crucial for good adhesion—especially if you have naturally smooth nails.

4. Degreasing
 Use an alcohol prep pad or nail dehydrator to remove any natural oils or moisture from your nails. A dry, oil-free surface is the best base for Heyhae’s sun-cured gel nail sticker products.

5. Apply Primer (Optional, but Recommended)
 For even longer wear, apply a thin layer of nail primer. This helps the gel nail sticker adhere more effectively, reducing the chance of lifting or peeling.

 


 

Important Considerations

1. Cleanliness: Always begin with clean, dry nails—this sets the stage for everything else.

2. Avoid Contact: Try not to let nail primer touch your skin to prevent lifting or irritation.

3. Apply the gel nail sticker a hairline away from your cuticle line to prevent lifting or irritation.

4. Stop use if you have signs of allergic reaction such as irritated skin, itching, swelling, or redness around your nails. 

 


Final Thoughts

Taking just a few extra minutes to prep your nails properly can transform your Heyhae Sun-Cured manicure. With a textured, oil-free base, your nails will not only look salon-fresh but also stay flawless for days. Trust the prep—it’s worth it!
