Nail Polish Strips

What are nail polish strips?

Nail polish strips are self-adhesive strips of pre-cut nail polish that are applied directly to the nails. They are an alternative to traditional liquid nail polish, which requires a brush, drying time, and potentially a steady hand to apply evenly. Nail polish strips are easy to apply and provide a quick and mess-free way to give your nails a polished and colorful look.

How do nail polish strips work?

All you have to do is press them onto your nails and they'll stick thanks to their adhesive backing. They're made with a flexible material that fits the shape of your nails perfectly. Give them a try and see for yourself how awesome they are!

Can I use nail polish strips on acrylic or gel nails?

It is generally not recommended to use nail polish strips on acrylic or gel nails. The adhesive in the strips may not properly adhere to the artificial nails, and the polish may not last as long as it would on natural nails. However, some people may still choose to use nail polish strips on acrylic or gel nails. If you do decide to try it, it is important to carefully follow the instructions on the package and test the strips on a small area of your nail first to see how well they adhere.

Are nail polish strips easy to apply?

Nail polish strips can be relatively easy to apply, especially compared to traditional liquid nail polish. They come in pre-cut sizes that fit most nails, so you don't have to worry about applying the polish evenly with a brush. However, it can still take some practice to get the hang of applying them smoothly and evenly.

How long do nail polish strips last?

The longevity of nail polish strips varies depending on factors such as how well they are applied, how well they are cared for, and how much wear and tear the nails are exposed to. In general, nail polish strips can last anywhere from 10 to 15 days.
To increase the longevity of nail polish strips, it is important to use one layer of top coat after applying the strips. This can help protect the polish and prevent chips and peeling.

Can I remove nail polish strips easily?

Yes, you can remove nail polish strips easily. There are a few different ways to do this. One method is to use a nail polish remover without acetone. Acetone can be harsh on the nails and can cause drying and brittle nails, so a non-acetone remover may be a gentler option. To use this method, saturate a cotton ball with the non-acetone remover and hold it against the nail for a few minutes to loosen the polish. Then, gently swipe the cotton ball across the nail to remove the polish strip.

Another method for removing nail polish strips is to use oil. This can be a natural and gentle way to remove the polish, and it can help to moisturize the nails at the same time. To use this method, apply a small amount of oil (such as olive oil or coconut oil) to the cuticle and let it soak in for a few seconds. Then, gently peel the nail polish strip off the nail, starting from the cuticle. If the strip is not coming off easily, you can apply more oil to the area and continue peeling. The oil can help to loosen the strip and make it easier to remove.

Can I use regular nail polish remover to remove nail polish strips?

Yes, you can use regular nail polish remover to remove nail polish strips. Most nail polish strips are made with a similar formula to regular liquid nail polish, so regular nail polish remover will work to dissolve the strips and remove them from the nails. However we would recommend to use acetone-free nail polish remover since acetone can be harsh on the nails and can cause drying and brittle nails.

Are nail polish strips safe to use?

Yes, nail polish strips made from non-toxic ingredients. They are gentle on the nails and surrounding skin. In contrast, acrylic and gel nails are made with chemicals that can be harmful if not applied correctly. Non-toxic nail polish strips are a good option for those who want a convenient and easy way to get a polished look without using harsh chemicals.

Are there any special instructions for applying nail polish strips?

There are a few special instructions to follow when applying nail polish strips. First, make sure to clean and dry your nails thoroughly before applying the strips. This will help the strips adhere better and last longer. Also, be sure to match the size of the strip to your nail, and smooth out any bubbles or creases as you apply the strip. Lastly, to increase the longevity of nail polish strips, it is important to use one layer of top coat after applying the strips. For detailed instructions please click here.

Why my nail strips do not stick on my nails?

There could be a few reasons why your nail strips aren't sticking on your nails. One reason could be that you didn't properly prepare your nails before applying the strips. It's important to make sure your nails are clean, dry, and free of any oils or moisturizers before applying the strips. Avoid using hand moisturizers or cuticle oils before applying the nail strips, as these can also interfere with their adhesion. If you've tried these tips and the nail strips are still not sticking, it's possible that the strips may be old or damaged.
