How to Apply Vinyluxe Nail Stickers

Vinyluxe nail stickers are made from high-quality permanent vinyl—durable, waterproof, and non-toxic. Follow these simple steps to get a flawless, long-lasting mani.

🧼 Step 1: Clean & Prep

Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any oils, lotion, or residue using 91% rubbing alcohol or a nail cleanser.

Using gel base or color?
Make sure to fully cure and wipe off the tacky layer with alcohol.
Stickers need a smooth, shiny surface to grip—not a sticky one!

✨ Step 2: Apply Stickers

  • Use tweezers to peel the sticker (avoid touching the adhesive).

  • Gently place it on your nail and press it down firmly.

  • Smooth out any air bubbles.

  • Trim or layer stickers to customize the fit.

💡 Trouble with lifting edges?
Add a bit of heat! Use a desk heater, blow dryer, or heat gun to warm the sticker gently.
Heat softens the vinyl and glue, making the sticker more flexible and helping it bond better—especially on curved areas or larger designs. It’s optional, but super helpful.

💅 Step 3: Seal It In

Apply 1–2 coats of top coat (gel or regular polish).

Be sure to cap the free edge to help lock in the design.

Pro tip: Sealing with top coat helps your stickers last even longer—sometimes over 30 days!

♻️ Bonus: Not Just for Nails!

Vinyluxe stickers aren’t just for manis. Use them to decorate:

  • Mugs

  • Water bottles

  • Laptops

  • Notebooks

  • Glassware

They’re waterproof and made to last—on or off your nails!

💧 How to Remove Nail Stickers

Time for a new look? Here’s how to remove them without damaging your nails:

• No Top Coat:

Gently peel the sticker off.

 

• With Regular Polish:

Soak a cotton pad with acetone or non-acetone remover.

Hold it over the nail for 10–20 seconds, then wipe and peel.

 

• With Gel Top Coat:

  1. Gently file the surface to break the top coat seal.

  2. Soak a cotton ball in pure acetone.

  3. Place it on the nail and wrap with foil or secure with a nail clip.

  4. Wait 10–15 minutes, then push off the softened layers.
