These days nail art is made easier than ever. If you don’t have time or budget to go to an expensive nail salon, you can easily do DIY nails at home. In the past, you had to paint the nails manually with nail polish, which requires time and skill. But now you can achieve beautiful and diverse nail art effortlessly with nail stickers. You have to simply choose your desired design and apply it to your nails without the need for complicated work. But if you don’t have any experience, let me share some tips on how to make the process of applying nail stickers easy and rewarding.

1.    Clean your nails: Make sure your nails are free from oils, dirt, and residue.

2.    Apply a thin layer of base coat: Use a clear base polish to create a smooth surface, but make sure it’s a thin coat.

3.    Use tweezers: Hold the stickers with tweezers to avoid touching the adhesive side with your fingers.

4.    Smooth from center to edges: Press the sticker gently from the middle of your nail, working outwards to avoid air bubbles.

5.    Trim excess sticker: Use a nail file or scissors to carefully trim the edges of the sticker to fit your nail perfectly.

6.    Wipe nails with acetone or alcohol: Gently wipe each nail with a cotton pad to remove any residue and ensure a smooth finish.

7.    Apply 1-2 coats of top coat: Seal in the sticker with two thin layers of top coat for extra durability and shine.

8.    Apply cuticle oil: Moisturize your cuticles to keep them hydrated and healthy.

It is also important to choose a nail sticker brand that produces high-quality nail products. This will make the process of applying them so much easier and more pleasant. Let's take a look at some Korean nail sticker brands that make DIY nails easy and convenient.

Dashing Diva is one of the most popular nail stickers brands in Korea. It is easily accessible as it’s available in many drugstores, so it is one of the most convenient choices for consumers. Dashing Diva is known for their gel nail strips that offer salon-quality results. Their gel strips include Magic Gel Strips and Gloss Gel Nail Strips, and each pack contains 22 strips, offering great value. Additionally, this brand also sells gel polish, nail tools and nail art products. After applying the stickers, you can apply a top gel and cure it under a lamp for even better durability, mimicking a gel nail’s lasting power. But even if you don’t have a lamp, Dashing Diva will still look great on your nails!

Ohora is another leading Korean nail stickers brand. Ohora’s gel nails use ‘semi-cured gel’ rather than printed technology. This allows for a natural and vibrant color that you would expect from a professional nail salon. They have excellent adhesion, which fits well even on curved nails, and the high shine and scratch-resistant strength last for a long time (approximately two weeks). Additionally, they are very easy to apply.
