What Are Our Boy With Luv Nails Made From?

Our Boy With Luv BTS nails are made with high-quality semi-cured gel nails. Semi-cured gel nails are wraps made from gel nail polish that has been partially cured. They're flexible and stretchy, making them suitable for all nail sizes without creases after application. Once applied, they are cured under UV light. The end result is stunning, hard, perfectly curved nails.

Semi-Cured Gel Nails

Gelato Factory is a vendor with which we collaborate and whose partnership with BTS has allowed us to sell the licensed BTS BOY WITH LUV collection. We believe that fans should have access to high-quality products that show their support for the artist they love, and that's why we're proud to offer this collection.

Why Use Semi-Cured Nails?

There are many benefits to using semi-cured gel nails over regular nail polish. Below we list some of them: 1. Long-lasting: Semi-cured gel nails can last up to two weeks with proper care. This is much longer than the lifespan of regular nail polish, which only lasts a few days. 2. Strong and durable: Semi-cured gel nails are much more durable than regular nail polish. They are less likely to chip or break, making them ideal for those who have active lifestyles. 3. Water resistant: Semi-cured gel nails are water resistant. They are ideal for activities such as swimming or washing dishes. 4. Cruelty-free & non-toxic: Semi-cured gel nails are cruelty-free and non-toxic. They do not contain any harmful chemicals. They are safe for both you and the environment. 5. Virtually odorless: Semi-cured gel nails are virtually odorless, making them more pleasant to use than regular nail polish. 6. Easy To Apply And Remove: Semi-cured gel nails are very easy to apply and remove. They can be removed with a special removing serum like this one.

Step-By-Step Process On How To Apply Our BTS Boy With Luv Nails

If you're a fan of BTS, then you're going to love our Boy With Luv nails! Made with high-quality semi-cured nails for easy application, these nails are the perfect way to show your support for your favorite band. Follow the steps below to learn how to apply them:

Step One: Prep Nails

For this stage, you'll need to push your cuticles back, file your nails, and wipe your nails with the included cleanser pad polish remover. This will help the semi-cured nails adhere better to your natural nails.

Step Two: Match Gel Nail Sizes To Fingernails

Once you've prepped your nails, it's time to match the gel nail sizes to your fingernails. Doing this will ensure a better fit and fewer gaps.

Step Three: Remove The Clear Cover On Gel Nail Piece

Remove the clear cover on the gel nail piece. Be careful not to touch the sticky side of the gel nail, as this will cause it to lose its stickiness.

Step Four: Apply To Nail

Starting at the cuticle, apply the gel nail to your natural nail. Be sure to press down firmly to avoid any gaps.

Step Five: Trim Excess Gel

Once the gel nail is applied, trim any excess gel off of the nail using a nail clipper. Be careful not to cut your natural nails.

Step Six: Cure With A UV Lamp

Place your hand under a UV lamp and cure for 60-120 seconds. Doing this will harden the semi-cured gel nails.

Step Seven: Apply Top Coat (optional)

Once all of the nails are cured, you can apply a gel top coat for extra shine and protection. Remember to cure the gel top coat under UV light. Once done, your DIY mani will shine with perfection.

How To Remove Semi-Cured Gel Nails

If you need to remove your semi-cured gel nails for any reason, follow the steps below:

Step One: Apply Removing Serum

Start by applying two or three drops of removing serum at the edge- where the nail meets the skin. The serum will help to break down the semi-cured gel nails. If you don't have removing serum, you can simply make yours by mixing acetone and cuticle oil.

Step Two: Wait For 1-minute

After applying the removing serum, wait for one minute before beginning to remove the nails.

Step Three: Use Included Wood Nail Tool To Lift The Gel Sticker

After one minute has passed, use the included wood nail tool to lift the nails off of your natural nails gently. If you find that the nails are resistant to coming off, apply more removing serum and wait for an additional minute.

Pro Tips

Here are some pro tips to help you get the most out of your semi-cured gel nails:

Keep Gel Wraps Away From UV Light

One thing you should avoid is keeping your gel wraps near any UV light sources such as sunlight or artificial light bulbs. This will cause the gel wraps to cure prematurely and make them difficult to work with. Once you've opened the package of semi-cured gel nails, it's important to store them properly to ensure they last as long as possible. We recommend storing the nails in their original package and placing them in a cool, dark place such as a drawer or cupboard.

Avoid Sticking Gel Nail Wraps On Cuticle Line Or Skin Of Fingers

Placing gel nail wraps onto your cuticles can cause premature lifting of the gel strips from your nails, so it’s important to keep the gel nail wraps on your nails only.

Use Any Leftover Gel Nail Pieces In 2 To 4 Weeks

If you have any gel nail pieces left over, it's important to use them within 2-4 weeks. This is because the gel nails will start to lose their strength after that time period.

Keep Nails Dry

It’s best to apply the semi-cured gel wraps when nails are completely dry and avoid getting them wet for a short period after application. We like to do our nails an hour after we have showered in the evening when all our chores are done for the day. Watching TV while doing our DIY manicures is a great way to relax before bedtime!
