Each pack contains 20 strips in 8 different widths for every nail shape. If you don't have very long nails, you can split the strips in the middle and use them for a second nail. For very wide nails, you can carefully stretch the flexible strips until they fit. This will give you 2 to 4 manicures from each pack.

Removing your Maniko Nails is very easy and gentle: use the Magic Remover Pen, or apply the Remover Serum to the cuticle. Soak the tip of the wooden stick with Remover Serum and now carefully lift the strips from one side (left or right). Now use the soaked stick to further loosen the adhesive layer between the nail and the strip by working from the left or right. Avoid working in the direction of nail growth, soak the stick with Remover Serum again after each movement or brush a drop of Remover Serum under the strip.

Tränke das Holzstäbchen bzw. das Silikon Hufstäbchen des Multi Tools nach jeder Bewegung erneut mit Remover Serum oder streiche mit dem Pinsel einen Tropfen Remover Serum unter den Streifen.

If you have soft and fragile nails, care is the be-all and end-all. Use a base coat or nail hardener before applying your Maniko Nails. You can also treat your nails with a little nail oil in between, just make sure that you thoroughly degrease them again with our prep pad before the manicure.

An additional top coat is not necessary as the Maniko Nails are already printed with a layer of semi-cured UV varnish. This layer hardens 100% after application under the UV lamp, but we have heard from some customers that they like to use an additional (UV) top coat. There is therefore no reason why you should not use an optional (UV) top coat.

As the overhanging end of the Maniko Nails still has to be filed down to the length of the natural nail, Maniko Nails cannot extend the natural nail, but we are working on a solution for nail extension with Maniko Nails.

Yes, you can also use Maniko Nails during pregnancy and breastfeeding, because we place particular importance to the fact that our Maniko Nails do not contain any harmful substances in order to protect you and your baby.

No, Maniko Nails are much gentler than a gel manicure in a nail salon. This is due to the gentle removal without milling, filing or acetone, the only important thing is that you take enough time for the removal and follow the instructions. If your nails are already damaged, you should take good care of them between applications and moisturize them.

If you already have a UV lamp for conventional UV polish, you can also use it for Maniko Nails, but as these lamps are usually quite bulky for studio use, we recommend our lightweight Maniko UV lamp in a compact travel format.

No, because Maniko Nails only require a very low level of radiation to cure. 6W Maniko UV lamps are significantly weaker than a conventional UV lamp in the studio or natural UV light in the sun. In fact, you get more UV radiation in one minute in the sun than in one minute under the Maniko UV lamp. This is why you should not do your manicure with Maniko Nails outdoors, as the natural UV light can harden the Maniko Nails in a matter of seconds. Of course, UV light can have a negative effect on the health of the skin. So if you are already sensitive to the sun or are unsure, you can of course apply sun protection to your fingers.
