Frequently Asked Questions

No. The decals are ultra-thin and sit on top of your polish or gel, not on the bare nail. They come off with regular nail polish remover, the same way you take off polish. Applied and removed normally, they don't harm the natural nail.

Each sheet is about 7 x 10 cm with lots of motifs you cut to size, so they fit any length or shape. For long, wide, or curved nails, trim the design just inside your nail edge before applying. That stops overhang and lifting.

Yes. Put the decal onto cured base gel, press it flat, then seal with gel or top coat and cure. Encapsulated in gel this way, the design can last up to about 4 weeks. This is the most durable method, and it's what most nail techs use.

Yes. Apply onto fully dry polish, smooth out any bubbles, and seal with two coats of clear top coat. Over regular polish they last about 1-2 weeks. Re-seal the tips every few days if you wash your hands a lot.

They're beginner-friendly. Because they aren't sticky, you can slide and reposition them while wet until the placement looks right, unlike peel-and-stick stickers. Two things matter most: cut close to the design, and seal the edges fully with top coat.

Over regular polish with a good top coat, about 1-2 weeks. Encapsulated under gel, up to about 4 weeks. Sealing the free edge well is the biggest factor in how long they hold.

Not if the edges are sealed. They're only water-sensitive when an edge is left open. Cover the whole design, including the tip, with top coat, and re-seal every few days with frequent hand-washing. Done that way, they hold through showering and daily wear.

No. They're an ultra-thin film with almost no thickness, so they lie flat and blend into the polish like printed-on art. After a top coat the surface is smooth, and you feel the top coat rather than a raised sticker.

Yes, they work on natural, gel, and acrylic nails, and on press-ons. One note for acrylic: seal the decal under a cured layer of gel or top coat before any acrylic overlay, because acrylic monomer can bleed the printed design.

Yes. A clear top coat is required. It seals the decal, locks the edges, and protects the design from water and wear. Without it, the decal lifts and fades fast. Two thin coats work best, with a quick re-seal every few days for longer wear.

Water slide decals are ultra-thin, water-activated art you seal with top coat, and they blend like hand-painting. Nail stickers are self-adhesive peel-and-stick. Nail wraps are full-coverage films for the whole nail. We make decals and wraps, and there's a full comparison on our blog/

Yes. Our decals are made without any animal-derived materials, so they suit a vegan-friendly routine. We don't carry a formal certification label, but no part of the decal or its adhesive comes from animals.
