It is super important to press the gel strips firmly onto the natural nail so that there are no air bubbles underneath. TTo do this, stick the gel strip onto the nail and spread it from the middle outwards. Here it is important not to stick the gel strip on the cuticle or over the nail edges. Gently press the edges with the rosewood stick. If one presses too hard with the rosewood stick, there is a risk of pressing dents into the not yet fully hardened gel strips.
