Embellish your nails with stickers and nail charms to instantly add detail, dimension, and personality to any manicure. These versatile nail art elements are easy enough for anyone to apply using just a few tools and products. Scroll on as we show you how to use Jello Jello stickers and nail charms to take your manicures to the next level.

Applying Nail Stickers

Nail Stickers are an easy way to add fine details without handpainting. To apply nail stickers, begin by prepping the nails. Apply base coat and cure. Follow with your choice of gel color and cure. If incorporating nail ink, chrome powder, or other nail art mediums, apply a layer of clear gel after and cure. Wipe off the inhibition layer after curing. A non-tacky, matte surface helps stickers adhere more securely and prevents the sticker from slipping around on the nail.

Next, gently flex the sticker backing paper away from the sticker design. Use a fine-point tweezer to gently lift the sticker from the sheet. Position the sticker on the desired area of the nail and press it down using a flat silicone tool. Smooth the sticker from the center outward to eliminate air bubbles and ensure the edges lay flat against the nail surface.

Finish by sealing the design with a top gel and curing it completely.

For added creativity, you can enhance stickers with chrome outlines or encapsulate them under 3d gel to create dimension and depth.

Applying Nail Charms 

Add a touch of glam to nails with nail charms. Start by prepping the nails. Apply base coat and cure. Apply your choice of gel color and cure. If additional nail art mediums are used, seal them with a clear gel layer and cure. Finish with a layer of top gel and cure.

To attach nail charms, place a small bead of parts gel on the area where the charm will be placed.

Using pointed tweezers, carefully position the charm into the gel and press down gently to secure placement. Flash-cure the charm in place using a handheld light. Then fully cure in a nail lamp.

Once cured, reinforce the edges by applying a thin layer of non-wipe parts gel around the base of the nail charm using a fine liner brush. This helps secure the charm and improves wear time. Cure to lock everything in place.

An alternative application method is applying the nail charm before the final top coat. To do this, apply parts glue to the nail after color and design. Apply the nail charm onto the parts gel. Flash-cure the nail charm in place. Fully cure in nail lamp. Use a liner brush to apply parts gel around the nail charm to secure it in place and cure. Finally, apply top gel over the nail. Optionally, you can apply top gel over the nail charm to secure it or apply top gel around it to maintain its quality and shine. 

To further your nail charm look, try combining multiple charms, rhinestones, or metallic accents for a more dimensional, layered look.

Stickers and nail charms offer a fun and efficient way to transform manicure without requiring advanced technical skills. They allow for precise detailing, customizable accents, and endless creative combinations, making it easy to achieve both subtle elegance and bold glam looks.
