ARE YOUR GEL STRIPS NOT STICKING WELL OR FALLING OFF EASILY?
WE ARE HERE TO HELP! PREVENT GEL STRIPS FROM FALLING OFF.
We recommend applying them before going to bed to ensure they are not exposed to any activities or water.
Applying close to or on cuticle skin and to the edges of the nail can cause the gel strip to lift on the sides and eventually fall off.
Wash your hands with soap and clean the nails using acetone before applying. This way, you ensure the nails are completely dry and oil-free.
Although gel nail strips can be stretched to fit the nails properly, stretching them too much can distort their design or make the glue less effective.
If this is the case, especially after using a real gel manicure, the nails may be quite damaged and uneven. Ensure to smooth your nail bed gently to even out the surface.
Make sure the gel strips are precisely trimmed and filed to the edge of your natural nails and no longer, as they could peel off more easily.
Gel strips become less stretchy and flexible after being exposed to the sun. The hardening of the strips will depend on how long they were exposed to sunlight. This may affect their effectiveness in sticking to the nail and, thus, their longevity.
Make sure to apply your Gel Strips indoor, away from direct sunlight.
We recommend 1 to 2 minutes of curing time using our UV Lamp, but the best way to know if the gel is completely cured is to press on it with the tip of the wooden cuticle stick given in the packaging. If it leaves a mark on the strips, it means you need to cure it a bit more!
Your hands and nails should be completely oil-free and dry.
This definitely contributes to the gel strips falling off faster.
★ Wash your hands with soap
★ Make sure your cuticles are pushed back.
★ Wipe your nails with acetone to remove any oil and let them dry.
★Make sure to complete the preparation routine (mentioned above) before proceeding with the application steps.
1) Open your MoYou London Gel Nail Strips and take out the contents.
2) Select the right size for each of your nails and cuticle shape.
3) Remove the clear film that protects the individual gel strip you wish to apply.
4) Carefully lift the gel strip off the film.
5) Place the edge of the Gel Strip
close to the cuticle, not on it
& avoid touching it.
★ For the perfect fit, you can
gently stretch the edges of
the gel strips.
6) Press down firmly onto the nail to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles. Use the wooden stick to smooth the gel strip along the edges and sides of the nail once more.

the tip betore curing.

Yes. If the sun is out and you don't want to use a UV lamp, you can actually go in the sun for 5 to 10 minutes, and your nails should be completely cured.
It's best practice to carefully select strip sizes that perfectly match the width of your nails and ensure they don't touch your cuticles or skin. Stretching strips either lengthwise or widthwise can distort the design on them.
Remove the strip and make sure to clean your nail bed from any cuticle, residue or oil.
Choose the correct strip size (must not touch the skin) and reapply.
Make sure to avoid contact with water for 1 hour after curing.

Yes, you can file the excess of MoYou London Gel Nail Strips one last time for a smooth finish!
You can use nail scissors or nail clippers to trim the initial excess once you have placed and smoothed out the strip. After this, we recommend filing the remaining excess to smooth the edge of the nail. This last step can be done either before or after curing the gel strips!
1) Gently lift up the Gel Strip from
one or the sides with the wooden stick.
2) Soak the wooden stick in nail
polish remover and dab a few drops
of it between the strip and the nail bed.
This will help to dissolve the adhesive material sticking the Gel Strip to the nail.
3) Slowly slide the soaked wooden
stick under the Gel Strip back and
forth, adding more nail polish remover if necessary until the Gel Strip fully and easily comes off.
4) Be patient, avoid lifting up the Gel Strip firmly as this might damage
your nail.
5) Clean your nail with polish remover to get rid of any remaining glue on the nail.
File the edges of your nails from time to time to ensure they are always smooth and do not break.
Make sure the gel strips are precisely trimmed and filed to the edge of your natural nails and no longer, as they could peel off more easily.
Avoid biting your nails or playing with the edges of your nails all the time.

Moyou London Gel Nail Strips are very long-lasting. They last up to 3 weeks!
No, as long as you follow the application and removal instructions. Using MoYou London Gel Nail Strips can help brittle and soft nails by protecting them from everyday wear and tear, allowing them to grow longer.
However, it's better to avoid using them if you have done a patch test and have gotten a reaction, your skin is irritated or you have any wounds on your hands.
Regular nail wraps are made of regular polish, acrylic, vynil or even paper whilst MoYou London Gel Nail Strips are made of real gel polish. They last longer and need to be cured with a UV Lamp to complete the process.
No. Once Gel Nail Strips have been removed after being cured and hardened on the nail, they will lose their sticky property, which means applying them back will not be possible.
Once you have opened your MoYou London Gel Nail Strips, keep them in their protective sleeve and prefereably inside their box in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
If you are allergic to classic gel products you could potentially get a reaction while using gel strips. We recommend doing a patch test on one single nail for 24h before applying full set.
We do not recommend using gel products that require UV/LED lamps on children as their skin is more sensitive.
we recommend not using gel strips and/or a UV lamp during pregnancy
You don't need to! MoYou London Gel Nail Strips can be stretched to fit your nails!
★You can stretch MoYou London Gel Nail Strips lengthways for narrow nails, and widthways for wider nails.
★You can also trim the excess once they have been applied.
Yes, both sides of MoYou London Gel Nail Strips can be used, so if it's long enough for your nails feel free to do so! We recommend cutting the strips when they are still on the plastic film, to keep the remaining part of the strip with the transparent film that protects it from dust and lint. Also, if you want to use them later, store them back in their protective sleeve and back in their box.
NO. MoYou London Gel Nail Strips need to be stuck onto the existing nail and cured. They are too soft to be used to elongate the nails.
BUT, you could potentially extend them slighlty with gel strips by applying gel top coat on top of them. We do not recommend extending them more than 2-3mm. However, with this technique nails will be more brittle and prone to breaking.
You need to stay away from water for the first hour after applying MoYou London Gel Nail Strips.
An occasional swim should not damage the wraps. However, prolonged contact with pool or sea water may affect the longevity orf the strips.
No, once MoYou London Gel Nail Strips have been cured exposure to LED/UV/sunlight/sunbeds won't cause any damage.
