If you love the idea of cute, salon-worthy nails but hate the thought of messy glue, heavy press-ons, or spending a fortune at the salon, then let us introduce you to your new nail BFF: semi-cured gel nail strips - aka the ultimate no glue stick-on nails.

These babies give you all the glossy, long-lasting goodness of gel nails without the sticky situations (literally). No glue, no fuss, no nail damage—just flawless nails that last over 2 weeks.

Let’s dive into what makes them so game-changing.

So… What Are No Glue Stick-On Nails?

Think of semi-cured gel nail strips as the glow-up your nails have been waiting for. They’re made from real gel polish that’s been partially cured (about 60%), so they’re flexible enough to stick right onto your nail like a sticker. Once applied, you pop them under a UV/LED lamp for 60-120 seconds, and boom—you’ve got a fully cured, salon-quality mani.

And the best bit? No glue needed.

Because they’re made from real gel, they naturally adhere to your nails without that heavy, sticky glue that can damage your natural nail.

Why You’ll Love Semi-Cured Gel Nail Strips

  1. No Glue, No Damage

    Unlike traditional stick-on nails that rely on harsh glue, our no glue stick-on nails use the magic of gel polish to stick and stay put. Plus, they’re HEMA-free and TPO-free, making them a gentler, safer option for your nails and skin.

  2. Long-Lasting Wear

    We’re talking 2+ weeks of chip-free, glossy perfection. And yep, they’re just as durable as salon gels—without the salon price tag.

  3. Super Easy Application

    No glue. No mess. No smudges. Apply them like a sticker, cure under your lamp, and you’re good to go. Even if you’re a DIY nail newbie, you’ve got this.

  4. Gentle Removal

    Ready for a switch-up? Just peel them off gently from the edges. No drilling, no acetone baths, and definitely no nail damage.

  5. Clean Beauty Approved

    Our gel nail strips are HEMA-free, TPO-free, Cruelty-free, Vegan, Non-toxic Salon-quality (but 100% DIY!).

HOW DO YOU APPLY SEMI CURED GEL NAIL STRIPS WITHOUT GLUE?

  1. Prep your nails – Clean your nails, push back your cuticles, and wipe with acetone to remove oils. FYI, if you have oil on your nails the semi cured gel nail strips won’t stick as well, therefore won’t last as long so this is an important step!

  2. Peel & Stick – Choose the right size, peel off the strip, and press it onto your nail. These gel nail stickers are designed to fit like a dream.

  3. Trim & File – Cut off any excess and file to shape.

  4. Cure Under a UV/LED Lamp – 60-120 seconds and you’re done!

  5. (Optional) Top Coat – Want even more shine and durability? Add a quick top coat and cure again.

The Bottom Line? No Glue, No Drama

No glue stick-on nails aren’t just a trend—they’re the future of at-home manis. With salon-quality results, zero nail damage, and a finish that lasts, they’re kind of a no-brainer.

Plus, with our HEMA-free and TPO-free formula, you can have gorgeous nails and peace of mind.
