My everyday neutral.
This is the shade I would reach for with a white shirt, denim, or a simple knit. Quiet, but not boring.

-
01Prep & size
Start with clean, dry nails, free of oil or lotion. Gently push back cuticles. Choose a strip that fits inside the nail edges without touching skin.
-
02
Apply & trim
Remove the protective film and peel the strip from its backing. Press onto the nail, smoothing from the center to the edges. Trim excess to your natural nail length.
-
03
Cure
Connect the lamp to a suitable USB power source. Place fitted nails under it and follow the strip maker's curing directions. Keep unused strips closed away from the light.
-
04
File & finish
Finish the free edge with the mini file, working gently in one direction. Keep any unused strips in their light-shielding packaging.
Use the instructions supplied with your strips for the compatible lamp, exact curing time and removal method. Keep uncured gel off skin.
When you're ready for a change
Gently does it.
Use the remover and method recommended for your strips. Loosen gently; never pull off bonded gel. If a strip resists, stop rather than forcing it.
Removal demonstration: ohora. Remover is not included.
THE SOFT SET PHOTO DIARY
A little nail inspiration.
A softer kind of color.
Rosewood is my kind of pink: a little muted and easy to picture with everything in my wardrobe.
The dark-nail mood.
I love the look of a very deep red on shorter nails. This is the shade I would choose for a dressed-up evening.
That copper detail.
The little wave of shimmer is what caught my eye. I would keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the nails be the detail.
A change from my usual.
A soft green feels like a fresh way to wear color without going neon. I would pair this with cream and grey.
A little pick-me-up.
This pink is exactly the kind of cheerful nail look I save to my inspiration board. Simple and pretty on short nails.
The details
Your questions, answered.
What are semi-cured gel strips?
They are flexible, pre-colored strips of partially cured gel with an adhesive backing. You fit them to your natural nails, then finish curing with a compatible UV/LED lamp. They are not hard press-on nails or ordinary polish stickers.
How many manicures are in one kit?
Starter includes 16 individual strips in assorted sizes. Color Duo includes two sheets of 16 strips (32 total), with one lamp. Strips are individual nail pieces, not complete manicures. How many fit depends on your nail widths; do not assume every leftover strip will fit.
Will they fit my nails or add length?
Choose a strip slightly narrower than your nail so no gel overlaps your skin. Trim to your natural nail length; these are not nail extensions. A fit for every nail width is not guaranteed.
Do I need glue or anything extra?
No separate nail glue is needed: the strips are self-adhesive. Your kit includes the white folding UV/LED lamp, mini file and wooden stick. A suitable USB power source, prep supplies and a manufacturer-compatible remover are needed separately. A wall adapter is not included in the offer.
How long do I cure them?
Use the gel manufacturer's validated lamp and curing directions. The correct time depends on the gel and lamp together, not just the wattage. Do not substitute a guessed curing time or rely on a surface feeling hard as proof of a complete cure.
How long will they last?
Wear varies with fit, nail preparation, application and your daily routine. We do not promise a fixed number of days or claim that every application will be chip-free. These strips are intended for a single application, not reuse.
How do I remove them?
Follow the strip manufacturer's removal instructions and use a compatible remover. Work gently and slowly. Never force, rip or peel bonded strips from your natural nails.
Anything I should know before using gel?
Keep uncured gel off skin. Do not apply to damaged nails or irritated skin, or use if you have a known gel/acrylate allergy. Stop using if irritation occurs. Proper curing matters; follow the enclosed product instructions and keep the kit away from children.
How should I store unused strips?
Return unused strips to their light-shielding packaging and store away from sunlight, heat and your curing lamp. Light exposure can harden the strips before application.
Does everything arrive in one box?
The strips and lamp are separate components of one kit offer. They may arrive in separate parcels. Your order updates will show the available tracking details. Shipping charges and available delivery options are shown at checkout.
