What's Included?+
Each Velvora gel nail set comes with:
- One set of 20 nail strips
- One nail file
- One manicure stick (for removal)

How to Apply?+
- Prepare: Shape your nails and push back cuticles. Cleanse each nail with an alcohol wipe to remove all oils for better adhesion.
- Select & Apply: Choose the correct strip size for your nail. Apply it close to the cuticle without touching the skin, and smooth down firmly.
- Trim: Fold the excess strip over the nail tip and file downwards in a single direction to remove it.
- Cure: Place your nails under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to harden the strips to a durable, high-gloss finish.
How to Remove?+
- Pop a bit of cuticle oil around the edges of each nail strip.
- Using the manicure stick, gently work around the edges to start lifting the strip.
- 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.
Tips & Tricks+
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.
