FAQ
Are Luxe Nail Co. gel nail strips safe for natural nails?
Yes. Luxe Nail Co. strips are designed to be as gentle as they are effective. Our formula is free from formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), common irritants in many traditional nail products.
Crafted from high-quality, acrylic-based gel resins that cure under UV light, our semi-cured strips offer a non-invasive removal process that helps prevent peeling, breakage or nail thinning. When applied and removed correctly, they support nail health and minimise damage.
What if I have sensitive skin?
Our gel formula contains ingredients commonly found in professional salon systems. While safe for most, those with acrylic allergies or known sensitivities may experience mild irritation. We recommend conducting a patch test prior to full application if you’re unsure.
How long do the gel nail strips last?
Our gel nail strips are designed to last between 10 to 14 days, depending on your nail prep, daily habits and exposure to oils or moisture. With proper application and care, some users experience even longer wear.
To maximise longevity, start with clean, dry nails, and ensure each strip is fully cured under UV light.
How long does it take to apply or remove?
At Luxe Nail Co., ease is part of the experience.
Application: If it’s your first time, set aside 30 minutes. Once familiar, most users complete a full manicure in 20 minutes or less.
Removal: Simply lift the edge with a wooden stick, work in a bit of cuticle oil, and peel gently. No soaking, no damage, just clean nails in 10 to 15 minutes.
Are gel nail strips the same as press-ons?
Not at all. Press-ons are rigid plastic tips that sit on top of your natural nail. Luxe Nail Co. strips are flexible layers of pre-cured gel that wrap to your nail’s natural curve.
Each strip adheres securely, conforms to your nail, and cures to a durable, high-gloss finish under UV light. The result is a flawless, long-wearing gel manicure without the salon.
How do Luxe gel nail strips stay on so securely?
Luxe Nail Co. strips use a next-generation adhesive that forms a secure, flexible bond with the natural nail. Once cured, the strip molds to your nail’s shape and locks in a smooth, seamless finish.
Unlike traditional polish or glue-ons, our gel adhesive acts as both cushion and protector, firm during wear yet designed to break down gently with cuticle oil or plant-based oils for safe, residue-free removal.
Can I file the strips to shape?
Yes, and we encourage it. For the cleanest result, wait until the strips are cured, then file gently with a fine-grit nail file (included in your Luxe kit). This helps blend the edges and refine your shape for a seamless finish.
Can I apply Luxe strips without a UV lamp?
No. Luxe gel nail strips are semi-cured for flexible handling but require a final cure under a UV lamp to fully set. This essential step locks in the gel, adds shine and ensures the durability you expect from a salon-grade finish. Skipping this step may compromise results.
Can I return my order?
Due to the nature of semi-cured gel nail stickers, we cannot accept returns. However, we are a customer first company that wants you to be happy with our products. Please reach out to hello@luxenailcompany.com with your concerns and feedback so we can make sure you are fully satisfied. Thank you.
