Right from the start, it won't work without a few little aids ;-) But I'm sure your "aha moment" will come. Stay tuned and read on.

Today, gel nails are not just a trend, but also a way to beautify and, if necessary, protect one's own nails. But beware, right here and now. Aggressive substances don't really offer protection. Also, when gel nails are removed roughly with an electronic file, the nail bed is often injured and the keratin layer of the nail is filed down too much. Many women dream of perfectly shaped and shiny nails, but a visit to the nail salon can be expensive and time-consuming. Not everyone is lucky enough to be healthy or to have a job where money is plentiful. Whatever category you belong to, you should treat yourself to beautiful and well-groomed nails. And despite all circumstances, always pay more attention to quality than quantity. Fortunately, there is also a quick and inexpensive solution: doing your own gel nails with Manifix. It looks like a gel nail, and in a way it is, but it isn't. Find out now how you, no matter who you are, as long as you like beautiful nails without "running" like with polish, can easily create your own "DIY gel nails" with a Manifix starter set, what advantages Manifix has over other providers, and how Manifix UV nail wraps are ideally suited as travel companions.

Doing your own gel nails: The easy start with Manifix

Doing your own gel nails used to involve extensive equipment and a lot of expertise. But with the Manifix starter set, this process is significantly simplified. The set contains everything you need to get started right away: from the small, travel-sized UV lamp with only 6 watts (which, by the way, is completely sufficient!), to the gel molds and the necessary "tools" for your perfect manicure at home.


Advantages of the Manifix Starter Set


- Easy application: The step-by-step instructions in the set make it easy for beginners to create "gel nails". Don't worry, you don't have to be a professional to achieve beautiful results. Have a little patience and check out our tutorials on social media beforehand or the enclosed application description (included with every order).

- Cost-effectiveness: Compared to the high prices in nail salons, the Manifix Starter Set is an inexpensive alternative. You invest once in the set and can start right away. The UV lamp is not only travel-friendly and effective but also lasts a very long time (I've been using mine for two years now). The UV polish is your game-changer to enable the UV nail wraps to last for 4 weeks. This lasts for approx. one year, so for at least 12 applications.

- Nail health: Manifix places great importance on the health of all our nails. The products are formulated not to damage the nails, unlike some conventional nail products that contain aggressive chemicals. Manifix is 15-free. What does that mean? Check out the 1x1 of our posts here on the homepage, where I have already described it in detail.


Step-by-step instructions


1. Preparation: Start by cleaning your nails. Remove old nail polish and grease residue, and file your nails into the desired shape.
2. Applying the UV nail wrap: Place the nail wrap centered and flush with the back of your natural nail. First, spread it from the middle to the front and then to the sides, and then press it down firmly.

Tip: The UV nail wraps can be stretched. So you can carefully pull them into the correct shape to match your natural nail.

For extra security, press the UV nail wrap firmly again at the back and side edges with the rosewood stick.

3. Cut off the excess UV nail wrap at the front with nail scissors, either stick the remaining piece back onto the carrier or directly onto another suitable nail. Now file off the protruding foil remnants from top to bottom with vertical movements.

4. For an even more beautiful shine and studio quality, apply the MANIFIX UV Polish. Make sure to brush it on thinly and only on the foil. Then cure it under a UV lamp for at least 60 seconds. Try it out. I cure them for 2x60 seconds under max. 6 watts. After that, do not touch them for a short time of 30 seconds - let them evaporate.

If you want to refresh the shine, you can reapply and cure the original polish at any time. Meanwhile, there is a lot to choose from, from matte, high gloss, glitter shimmer to holo effects. The application is always the same, except that you can also simply change it, for example, from glossy to matte to refresh it. use it again.


The advantages of Manifix over competitors


When it comes to gel nails, there are many providers on the market. But Manifix stands out due to several decisive advantages that make it the preferred choice for many.

a) Product Quality
Manifix uses high-quality materials that are not only durable but also promote the health of your nails. Unlike many competitors who use cheaper and potentially harmful ingredients, Manifix focuses on quality and safety.

b) User-friendliness

Manifix products are designed to be easy to use, even for beginners. The clear instructions and user-friendly "tools/accessories" make it easy to create beautiful "gel nails" even without prior knowledge. The accessories are not absolutely necessary, but if, for example, you notice that you have naturally uneven nails, then the gentlest buffer is your choice.

c) Price-performance ratio

Manifix offers an excellent price-performance ratio. While other brands often offer overpriced products, with Manifix you get a complete starter set at a fair price. This allows you not only to save money but also to regularly care for and design your nails without having to constantly go to a nail salon. TIP: for embellishment, there are inexpensive, yet high-quality nail stickers in the shop. Feel free to have a look. With my discount code: "happysimi" you can permanently save on foils, UV nail foils, nail stickers and of course support me in my work provided here. J The investment in a Manifix set quickly pays off, with just one purchase you have everything you need for now. UV nail foils can be reordered individually as desired. TIP: Save on shipping costs. Order together with family or friends.

d) Product versatility

Another advantage of Manifix is the versatility of the products offered. The starter set not only contains the basic materials for gel nails, but also a selection of colors and designs that allow you to immediately design your nails according to your mood. In addition, Manifix regularly offers new collections and designs, so you can always stay up to date with the latest nail trends.

e) Customer service and community

Manifix places great importance on customer satisfaction. Customer service is friendly and helpful, and for questions or problems, the staff from the support team, but also many Manifix Passionistas via social media, are always available. Be brave and write to us (feel free to write to me @manifixiert). In addition, there is an active community of Manifix users who share their experiences and tips on social media and forums. This creates a supportive environment where you can find inspiration if you are not yet so creative. Otherwise, my TIP: as a beginner, feel free to use the UNI colors or nail art foils. Avoid glitter foils at the beginning, then rather use the UV polish HOLO. ;-) Simply from my own experience. After all, I was also a Manifix customer and beginner before I became a Passionista. ;-)
