Stardust – Semi-Cured Gel Nail Strips

Each Velvora gel nail set comes with:

• One set of 20 nail strips
• One nail file
• One manicure stick (for removal)

1. Prepare: Shape your nails and push back cuticles. Cleanse each nail with an alcohol wipe to remove all oils for better adhesion.
2. Select & Apply: Choose the correct strip size for your nail. Apply it close to the cuticle without touching the skin, and smooth down firmly.
3. Trim: Fold the excess strip over the nail tip and file downwards in a single direction to remove it.
4. Cure: Place your nails under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to harden the strips to a durable, high-gloss finish.

1. Pop a bit of cuticle oil around the edges of each nail strip.
2. Using the manicure stick, gently work around the edges to start lifting the strip.
3. Once an edge has lifted, slide the stick underneath and peel the strip off. If it feels stuck at all, just add a little more oil.

No harsh chemicals or acetone required.

Before You Apply

• Start Clean: Wash & dry hands well before use. Skip oils & creams.
• Avoid Stray UV: UV light sets gel strips. Keep strips sealed; once opened, keep away from UV lamps and sunlight.

During Application

• Stretch it Out: Gently stretch for a perfect fit (with clean hands).
• No Overlap: To prevent lifting, place above cuticle (never on skin).
• Keep it Real: Strips aren’t extensions. Trim to natural nail length.
• Cut Before, Shape After: Trim before curing, file after for clean edges.
• Press for Perfect Edges: Use the wooden stick to avoid lifting - gently roll with the round end, & gently press with the flat end.

After Curing

• Cure Twice: One cure is good. Two cures? Flawless.
• Patience Pays: No water, soaps or oils for 3 hours = max hold.
