How do I use the PINX Extension Gel with gel nail stickers?Updated 3 months ago

The PINX Extension Gel isn't just for extending nail stickers, it’s also a powerful way to reinforce your gel nail stickers for extra strength and longer wear.

1. Apply your PINX gel nail sticker
 Start by prepping your nails, apply the sticker as usual, and cure under your UV lamp for 60 seconds.

2. Trim and shape your nails
 Use nail scissors and a nail file to shape your nails just the way you like.

3. Apply a thin layer of Extension Gel (top & bottom)
 Brush a thin coat of PINX Extension Gel over the top of each nail and lightly coat the underside of the nail tip

4. Cure for 30 seconds
 Place your hand under the UV lamp and cure for 30 seconds.
 💡 If it feels too hot or tingly, take your hand out for a few seconds, then pop it back in to finish curing. This can happen if too much gel is applied.

5. (Optional but recommended) Add a second coat for extra strength
 Want a longer-lasting mani? Apply another thin coat! This is especially helpful for longer nails or if your hands go through a lot.
 The more layers, the stronger the finish!

💡 Pro Tip: Keep layers thin and even, and avoid flooding the cuticle area for the cleanest look.
