Our polish strips are semi-cured gel stickers, ready to apply. They stick directly onto the nail and are cured under a UV/LED lamp for a shiny and long-lasting finish, just like a semi-permanent polish... without the mess!

Some semi-transparent shades, such as Natural, Baby Boomer or French Manicure, allow the natural nail to show through, which can slightly alter the result from person to person.

For some designs, the effect may also depend on the nail length: on very short nails, the gradient effect or white line may be less visible. These designs are intended to fully reveal their effect from a minimum length.

If you have any doubts or would like more information on a design or shade, our customer service team is available by email: hello@thecaregel.com 🤍

Our patches can last up to 3 weeks with proper application. Duration may vary depending on nail type, lifestyle habits, and preparation prior to application.

No, provided you follow the removal instructions. Our patches are designed to respect your natural nails. No filing or aggressive sanding is necessary for application or removal.

It's very simple:

- Apply our removal oil to the edges or a few drops of vegetable oil such as coconut or olive oil

- Gently peel off with a wooden stick

- Clean any residue with a soft cotton pad

Yes, our patches are semi-cured: for optimal results, a UV/LED lamp is necessary to cure the polish and ensure long-lasting wear.

Of course! Our patches are flexible before curing. You can trim or adjust them to perfectly fit the shape of your nails.

Each set contains 20 patches of different sizes to fit all nail shapes, plus a file and a manicure stick.

Yes, our patches can be used on natural nails or on extensions, tips, gel, etc.

Reseal the bag securely with its adhesive strip or store the patches in a small airtight bag away from light. This will prevent them from hardening before use.

Yes. All our products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free , and contain no parabens, phthalates, or controversial substances.

Oui. Nos patchs ne contiennent ni parabènes, ni toluène, ni formaldéhyde. Ils sont formulés sans substances controversées, ce qui les rend adaptés à une utilisation pendant la grossesse. En cas de doute, demandez toujours l’avis de votre professionnel de santé.

Nos patchs sont sensibles aux UV naturels. Une exposition directe au soleil pendant la pose pourrait les durcir prématurément. Pour de meilleurs résultats, appliquez-les en intérieur, à l’abri de la lumière du jour, puis fixez-les sous votre lampe UV/LED.

Do you provide an installation guide?

Yes! After each order, you will automatically receive an email with access to our complete video guide — available 24/7 on mobile, tablet, or computer. It covers preparation, application, care tips, mistakes to avoid, and gentle removal.

Each pouch contains 20 different sizes and is stretchable, enough to cover all nail shapes. You are sure to find yours.

Semi-permanent polish is applied layer by layer with a brush and requires precise technique — base coat, color, top coat, lamp between each step. Removal is done with acetone and filing. Most contain HEMA, a powerful allergen.

The Care Gel patch is a pre-cut gel film that sticks directly onto the nail, hardens under a UV lamp in 60 seconds, and is removed with a few drops of oil. No special technique, no harsh chemicals. The same result in 10 times less time.

Both offer wear for up to 3 weeks — but the gel patch is simpler, healthier, and faster.
