Frequently Asked Questions

CAN THE GEL NAILS BE USED TO ADD LENGTH?

The nails are designed to be the same length to your nails and should not be used as extensions. They will go hard and act as a durable layer on top of your natural nails but will not be hard enough to add length. Gel nails, while durable, aren't as strong as acrylic nails. They are more flexible than acrylic nails even when fully cured so it still needs a base.

HOW DO I SELECT THE CORRECT SIZE NAIL STRIP?

Each kit contains 20 nail strips in 10 different sizes. Line your nail against the strip sheet then compare which size best matches the width of your cuticle and nail bed. Don’t worry if isn't an exact match as you can stretch the semi-cured gel to configure to your nail.

HOW DO YOU STORE UNUSED STICKERS?

Your nail strips will harden if exposed to cold or bright light (sunlight or UV LED lamps). Please store any unused or leftover nail strips in its original packaging in a cool, dark place. Use the silver sticker provided to reseal original packaging.

DO I HAVE TO CURE WITH A UV LAMP?

YES. The nail strips come out of the package semi-cured, meaning that the liquid gel in your strips has only been 60% pre-hardened. It is recommend that you cure your nail strips under a UV lamp for at least 60 seconds for the liquid gel to completely harden.

Warning: the nail strips are sensitive to light. Avoid using your UV lamp near any unused nail strips.

HOW DO I USE THE UV NAIL LAMP?

The lamp must be plugged into a USB outlet during use.

It features two time settings - 60 seconds and 120 seconds. At least 60 seconds is recommended for use with Sunday nails gel strips. You can adjust the time using the button on the lamp’s main body.

Press button once for 60 seconds.

Hold button for 2 seconds for 120 seconds.

It is recommend that you cure your nail strips 1 - 3 times for the liquid gel to harden completely.

CAN I USE A BASE COAT OR A TOP COAT WITH MY NAIL STRIPS?

Base Coat:
It is recommended that you refrain from using a base coat underneath your nail strips as the strips adhere more to clean and bare nails.

Top Coat:
The nail strips come pre-treated with a gel top coat. However, if you’d like to extend the length of your manicure you can apply a gel top coat along the edges of your nail strips.

HOW LONG DO THE GEL NAILS LAST?

Typically, gel nails last for about 2-3 weeks. Most likely, once the gel nails are hardened on your nails, they may never leave you unless you take them off.

WILL IT DAMAGE MY NAILS?

No. Unlike normal gels, sunday nails will not thin or damage your nails once removed. The gels stick to your nails using a medical adhesive that is strong and durable but also safe.
