How to Use False Nails with Jelly Stickers, Turning Beginners into Manicure Experts in No Time

False nails have become a favorite among many beauty enthusiasts because of their convenience and a wide range of styles. Using jelly stickers to put on false nails is an easy way that doesn't harm your nails, especially good for beginners. Here is a really detailed tutorial on using false nails with jelly stickers. It will guide you step by step to get beautiful manicures!

I. Preparation

1. Clean Hands and Nails

First, wash your hands thoroughly with mild hand soap. Pay special attention to cleaning the nail surface and the areas under the nails to get rid of dirt, oil, and impurities. After washing, dry your hands with a clean towel or tissue. Make sure your nails are completely dry. Water can affect how well the jelly stickers stick, making the false nails likely to fall off.

2. Trim and Buff Nails

Use nail clippers to cut your natural nails to a proper length and shape. Generally speaking, the nails shouldn't be too long. Keeping them the same length as or a bit shorter than the fingertips can make the false nails fit more tightly. After trimming, gently rub the surface of your nails with a nail file to remove the oil and the outer layer of the nails. This can increase the friction on the nail surface and help the jelly stickers stick better. When rubbing, be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the nails. Usually, rubbing 2 to 3 times is enough. After rubbing, wipe your nails with a clean damp cloth again to make sure there is no debris left on the nail surface.

3. Select Suitable False Nails and Jelly Stickers

Put the false nails in order by size and compare them with your natural nails. Choose the most suitable false nails for each finger, from the thumb to the little finger. The right-sized false nails should cover the entire nail surface, and the edges should fit closely with your natural nail edges, not being too big or too small. At the same time, pick jelly stickers of the right size according to the size of the false nails. Make sure the jelly stickers can cover the area where the false nails and your natural nails touch.

II. Application Steps

1. Apply Jelly Stickers

Take out the right-sized jelly sticker from the package. Carefully peel off one side of the protective film. Be careful not to touch the sticky side of the jelly sticker with your hands, or it might get dirty and lose its stickiness. Then, stick the jelly sticker flat on your natural nail. Start from the base of the nail and press it gently towards the tip. Make sure the jelly sticker sticks well to the nail and there are no air bubbles. If there are air bubbles, gently press the area with your finger to get rid of them.

2. Apply False Nails

Peel off the protective film on the other side of the jelly sticker. Pick up the chosen false nail and line it up with your natural nail. Slowly put it down starting from the base of the nail, making sure the edge of the false nail matches your natural nail. Then, use your fingers to press evenly from the middle to the sides of the false nail so that the false nail sticks firmly to the jelly sticker. Press a bit hard to make sure the false nail is attached well. Also, check if the false nail is flat and if there are any uneven or raised parts. If the false nail is not in the right position, you can gently adjust it soon after sticking it on until it fits the nail perfectly.

III. Precautions

1. Avoid Contact with Water Immediately

Try not to let your nails touch water within 1 to 2 hours after putting on the false nails. When they are newly stuck on, the jelly stickers haven't fully bonded yet, and water can easily make the false nails fall off. If your nails get wet by accident, dry them with a dry cloth right away and press the false nails again to make sure they are firmly attached.

2. Avoid Excessive Force

When wearing the false nails, don't press or grab things too hard with your nails. This can prevent the false nails from falling off due to too much force. For example, when opening bottle caps or lifting heavy things, try to use the pads of your fingers to reduce the pressure on your nails.

3. Pay Attention to Daily Maintenance

Take good care of your nails in daily life. Avoid hitting your nails against sharp objects to prevent the false nails from getting scratched or damaged. If there is dust or stains on the surface of the false nails, you can gently wipe them with a clean damp cloth to keep the false nails clean and nice-looking.

IV. Removal Method

When you want to change to new false nails or stop wearing them, you need to take them off correctly. First, gently lift one corner from the edge of the false nail, and then slowly peel the false nail off your natural nail. If the false nail is stuck tightly, don't pull it off roughly to avoid hurting your natural nails. You can soak your hands in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes to make the jelly sticker softer, and then gently peel off the false nail. After taking it off, gently rub the surface of your natural nails with a nail file to remove the remaining jelly sticker glue. Finally, apply some nail care oil to take care of your nails.


With these steps, you can easily wear false nails with jelly stickers! Come and have a try, and let your fingertips look really charming!
