Start by buffing your nails (optional), then thoroughly clean them using the alcohol wipe to remove oil and moisture.
This helps the gel strips grip better.
STEP 2
CHOOSE A SIZE & STICK
Choose the strip that best fits your nail—pick a size slightly smaller than your nail bed so it doesn't touch the skin or cuticle.
Gently stretch the strip if needed to fit edge to edge, then press it down firmly, especially along the edges, to seal it in place.
STEP 3
CURE UNDER UV LAMP
Cure your nails under the UV lamp for 60–120 seconds until they're rock solid.
Do a few fingers at a time, making sure each nail is fully under the light.
STEP 4
CLIP & FILE DOWN
Trim off any excess with nail clippers, then gently file in one direction. File underneath the nail to avoid scratching the strip, and shape down to your natural nail—these aren’t meant to be worn as extensions
STEP 5
YOU'RE DONE!
Your manicure is complete! For extra shine and protection, you can apply a top coat now.
Just be sure to avoid water, oils, or creams for the next 2–3 hours to help it set fully.
Avoid exposing unused strips to sunlight or UV—this can cause them to cure early. Always store them in the black sleeve until you’re ready to use.
DON'T SKIP THE PREP
Proper prep makes all the difference. Cleaning your nails with the alcohol wipe and cleaning up your cuticles helps the strips grip tight and last longer without lifting
EXTEND YOUR WEAR-TIME
Using a base coat, top coat, or both can help your manicure last even longer—plus give it extra shine and strength
GIVE IT TIME TO STICK
After curing, avoid water, oils, or creams for 2–3 hours. This helps the strips fully set and stay flawless
NOT FOR EXTENSIONS
Serafene strips are designed to be worn on your natural nail length. Don’t leave overhanging edges—they’re more likely to lift or snag. But trust the process and your nails will be double the length in no time ;)
STRETCH FOR THE PERFECT FIT
Each strip can be gently stretched to cover edge to edge. This helps it sit flush with your nail for a clean, seamless look
