Gel Pads: Instructions for Applying Your Press-on Nails

What are gel-pads? And how to use them

Small clear stickers to apply on your bare nails, they allow you to firmly attach your nail tips without damaging your natural nails.
Their hold lasts from a few hours to 5 days, depending on your needs and activities.


They ensure an easy and quick application, allowing you to reuse your press-on nails countless times, without ever damaging your nail art or your natural nails.

Instructions - Step-by-step guide

  • Once your nail plates are prepared, peel off and place your gel-pad on your natural nail.
  • Heat it by massaging well for optimal adhesion.
  • Remove the protective film, place your nail tip at the cuticle for a natural effect.
  • Press for 10 seconds, the application is complete.
I recommend doing this in the evening before bed so that the adhesive has enough time to properly seal to the nail and the tip.
  • Also, avoid water on your hands for 2 to 3 hours after application, otherwise you risk them lifting.

How to remove your gel pads


Quick and easy removal using a cuticle pusher.
Simply very gently pry under the nail tip and it will detach.
Then remove any remaining gel-pad residue with your cuticle pusher by twisting your stick or rubbing with your fingers, that works too.
Disinfect your Venuza Nails with a wipe and then place them back in their box for a future application.
