Frequently Asked Questions

What are nail flakes?+

Nail flakes are thin decorative pieces set into gel to add shimmer and texture. They are larger than glitter, which is made of fine or ultra-fine particles, so they create more visual impact. The listings on this page are 6-grid boxes of shell flakes, iridescent flakes, flower flake charms and a nail art powder set, with a different shade or shape in each grid. Screens can shift colours, so compare the product photos before you order.

How do I apply nail flakes on gel?+

Apply and cure your colour, then add a thin layer of top or base gel and leave it uncured so the surface stays tacky. Place the flakes with tweezers, a silicone tool or a dotting tool, cure, and finish with a top coat over the whole nail, curing again. It is the same method used for sequins and other small embellishments.

How do I get a smooth, encapsulated finish?+

For a glass-like look, set the flakes in a thin layer of builder or base gel and cure, then cover them completely with a layer of builder gel. Cure, file the surface smooth, and finish with top coat and a final cure. If an edge still feels rough after the top coat, add another thin layer of top coat over it and cure.

Can I use flakes with regular nail polish?+

You can, but gel holds flakes better and longer than regular polish, so expect a shorter wear time on lacquer. Flakes also mix well with other nail art: pair them with chrome or glitter, hand-painted details, ombre and aura looks, foils, stickers or stamping when you want a fuller design.

How do I remove nail flakes?+

Take them off with the gel underneath rather than on their own. File the top layer to break the seal, soak as you normally would for the gel system you used, and lift the softened product gently. Do not peel or force the flakes off, because that can pull away layers of the natural nail.
