GOJELLE: The Hairdryer Method
If you've tried your Gojelles and you find they're nails not lasting as long as you'd like or struggling with adhesion issues, this technique is a game changer to better your at home manicure routine.
The Hairdryer Method: What Is It? The hairdryer method is a clever hack used to enhance the adhesion of your adhesive tabs by gently heating the adhesive to activate it. This technique creates a stronger bond between the Gojelle nail and your natural nails, resulting in longer lasting wear and a more secure fit.
Here is a step by step guide to using the hairdryer method with your Gojelles:
-
Prepare Your Nails & Choose Your Press On Nails: Start by cleansing your nail with your Gojelle Alcohol Prep ensuring that your natural nails are clean and free from any oils or residues. Size up the appropriate size of press ons for each of your natural nails. Lay them out in the order you'll be applying them.
-
Apply Adhesive Tabs: Measure up your adhesive tab and apply to your natural nail, hold it down for 30 seconds before removing the protective film.
-
Heat with a Hairdryer: This is where the hairdryer comes in. Turn on your hairdryer to a low or medium heat setting. Hold the hairdryer about 10-15cm away from your nails and gently heat the press on nail for 5-10 seconds. Heating the adhesive slightly helps to soften it, creating a melted glue texture to create a stronger bond with your natural nail.
-
Press and Hold: Quickly, but carefully, place the press on nail onto your natural nail, starting from the cuticle and pressing down towards the tip. Apply firm pressure for 30 seconds to ensure a secure the bond. Repeat this process for each nail.
-
Final Touches: If there are any rough edges, you can gently file them to smooth them out using the file side of your Gojelle 2in1 Buffer and File.
