When applying gel nail stickers, there are a few common mistakes that people may encounter.

Failure to clean and prep the nails

It's important to start with clean and dry nails before applying gel nail stickers. Skipping the step of properly cleaning and prepping the nails can lead to poor adhesion and premature lifting of the stickers.

Choosing the wrong size

Gel nail stickers typically come in various sizes to fit different nail shapes and sizes. Selecting the wrong size that doesn't match the natural nail can result in improper application and a less professional appearance.

Improper placement

Placing the gel nail sticker too close to the cuticle or too far from the nail edge can make the manicure look uneven and unbalanced. It's important to position the sticker accurately on the nail to achieve a neat and precise look.

Stretching or distorting the sticker

Pulling or stretching the gel nail sticker while applying it can cause distortion and result in an uneven or wrinkled appearance. It's important to handle the sticker gently and apply it smoothly without stretching or distorting its shape.

Properly pressing down on the gel nail sticker after application is essential to ensure it adheres well to the natural nail. Neglecting to press down firmly can lead to air bubbles or lifting of the sticker.
