Because Glaze is an all-in-one product, no additional base coat, nail strengthener or top coat is needed. Should you decide to wear an additional product with Glaze, we cannot guarantee lasting results.

If you’re in between sizes, size down! It’s always better to use a strip that is slightly too small, than too big. If there is any overlap on the skin along the sides or cuticle line, there may be lifting.

Yes! You can reposition the strip if needed, but we recommend minimizing the number of attempts. If you feel the adhesive is weaker after repositioning, it's best to use a new strip for optimal results.

Glaze only requires 1 cure for 60 seconds.

If you notice any discomfort during curing, this may indicate a thinning or weakened nail bed. Remove your hand for a moment, and then replace to finish curing.

Glaze should be trimmed to the exact length of your natural nail prior to curing—please make sure the strip is not extending beyond your nail length, as this can cause lifting and chipping. After curing, take care to file off any remaining excess so that the strip is completely flush to your natural nail.

Tip 1: Before use, clean the cuticle line neatly. This step is important, as dead skin is a main cause of premature lifting, and hair getting caught. Carefully push back the cuticles and optionally remove your cuticles by trimming with a cuticle nipper or gently buffing them away with the included file. Then, ensure the nails are clear from oils and residue by wiping down with the included prep pad.

Tip 2: Press down all around the cuticle area and entire nail surface using the included manicure stick. Then, press and smooth the entire nail surface with your finger, making sure there is no gap between Glaze and your nail.

To remove Glaze, apply cuticle oil (such as our Magic Off+ Remover) to the base of the nail. Using a manicure stick, gently and slowly lift the nail strip from the corner of the cuticle area. Saturate the nail with additional oil to help loosen the adhesive. After a few moments, gently and slowly lift off the Glaze from your nail by pushing from the cuticle line toward the tip of the nail with the manicure stick. Do not rush! If you feel any tension, apply more oil, and allow more time for the adhesive to dissolve.

Use our Red Therapy line to treat your nails! Make sure to also regularly moisturize your hands and nails with lotion and oils.

Before curing your nails, make sure your leftover strips are placed in the black carton in order to prevent premature nail curing if exposed to LED lamp light. Glaze will stay fresh for 12 months after being opened!
