What do I need to apply Mani or Pedi nail tips?

Mani nails last the longest and are kindest to your natural nails when you use gel glue.

If you’re allergic to gel products or prefer a simpler option, you can also apply them with regular nail glue — just keep in mind the wear time will be shorter.

💅 If you’re using gel glue, you’ll need:

  • Mani or Pedi nail tips
  • UV/LED nail lamp
  • Mani Glue It gel glue
  • Mani Protect It base gel
  • Mani Top It top coat
  • Nail file
  • Alcohol pad

Everything you need for application is included in our Mani Starter Kit.

If you’re using regular nail glue, just swap it in place of the GLUE IT gel glue.

What to definitely keep in mind when applying?

To keep your Mani nails lasting long and looking flawless, we recommend following these simple but important steps:

Nail bed prep is the KEY!

  • Great wear starts with good prep! If the nail surface is too smooth or air bubbles get trapped underneath, your nails won’t last.
  • Clean your nails before and after applying glue.
  • Use an alcohol pad, acetone, or another cleansing product after filing and before applying gel to remove dirt and oils. This ensures perfect look and lasting hold.
  • Avoid getting gel on your skin. If gel gets on your skin, wipe it off before curing under the lamp. Gel hardened on skin can cause allergies over time.
  • Cover the nail edges too. When using Mani PROTECT IT and TOP IT gel, apply it also on the edges and tips. This keeps your design looking fresh longer.
  • Cure your nails properly. Make sure your fingers are positioned so the UV light reaches the nail edges and tips. We reccommend curing the thumbs seperately.

And don’t forget — always check the full guide before applying!

Why did my nail tip pop off?

If your Mani nail fell off unexpectedly, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  • The nail wasn’t properly prepared. If the nail surface was too smooth, unclean, or oily, the glue couldn’t stick well.
  • Air bubbles got trapped under the glue. Air bubbles allow moisture to get underneath, reducing durability.
  • The glue didn’t cure fully. If the glue didn’t get enough light under the UV lamp, it didn’t cure properly, so the nail didn’t hold.

Why did my nail design wear off?

To keep your beautiful French design flawless for 28+ days, don’t forget to apply a thin layer of Mani PROTECT IT gel on the nail edges and tips. This little step acts like a “lock” for your design.

How to choose the right nail size?

The right Mani nail tip size fits perfectly from one sidewall of your natural nail to the other — not too big, not too small.

If you’re unsure, go for the larger size and file it down to fit perfectly.

Can I use regular fast-drying nail glue for application?

Yes, absolutely!

If you don’t want or can’t use gel glue, regular fast-drying nail glue works great too.

Mani nails last 28+ days with gel glue.

With regular glue, you can expect results lasting up to 2 weeks, as long as the nail bed is properly prepared.

⚠️ If you’re allergic to gel products, stick to regular nail glue — it’s a safe and effective alternative.

What’s the difference between Mani and Pedi nail tips?

Our Mani nail tips are made for fingernails — perfect for a chic manicure.

Pedi nail tips are designed for toenails — ideal for a neat pedicure.

That way, you can rock the same design on both your hands and feet! 💅✨

What’s the difference between Mani nail tips and regular press-on nails?

Mani nails are more than just press-ons. Here’s what sets them apart:

✨ Creativity & Customization

Regular press-on nails come pre-designed and ready-made by someone else. With Mani, you’re the creator — you can design your nails exactly the way you want. Of course, we also offer a growing selection of classic ready-made designs if you prefer it quick & easy.

⏳ Long-Lasting Wear

Regular press-ons are made for short-term use — they wear out quickly and may fall off.

Mani nails, when applied correctly, stay on until you decide to remove them. The designs don’t wear off, and the nails stay flawless. They are made to be a cohesive gel system.

Do Mani gels contain HEMA or TPO allergens?

Nope — all Mani gel products are completely HEMA- and TPO-free! 💅

Are Mani nails safe for my natural nails?

Yes — Mani nails and gels won’t damage your natural nails! 💅 But here are a few tips to keep them healthy:
Don’t over-file your natural nail surface.

  • Avoid changing your nails too often.
  • Remove your nails properly — don’t force or peel them off.
  • Make sure you’re using a full-power nail lamp, not a tiny one-finger flash cure lamp. Those mini lamps aren’t designed to fully cure gel products and can lead to allergic reactions over time.

    Our Manikit Starter Kit includes everything you need for safe and proper use. All our products have been lab-tested to ensure safety and quality.

    Follow these simple steps, and you’ll keep your nails healthy and beautiful! 💖

How long do Mani and Pedi nail tips last?

With proper application, Mani nails can last up to 28+ days!

The results are beautiful and long-lasting — just like a salon set. 💅✨

Do hairs get caught under Mani nails?

Nope — not with Mani.

When applied correctly, the nail bonds fully to your natural nail, and our Mani GLUE IT gel glue fills in all the tiny gaps, so there’s no space for hair to get stuck.
