What is semi-cured gel?


Semi-cured gel is 60% pre-cured, so it molds to your nail when you apply it. Then you cure it under LED light. That's why it lasts longer than stickers and fits better than press-ons.

What you'll need:

  • Muuni gel nail strips
  • Muuni LED lamp (or natural sunlight)
  • Nail file (included)
  • Nail scissors or nail clippers
01PREP

Wash and dry your nails. Wipe with the prep pads. Make sure your lamp is fully charged.

02BASE

Apply a thin, even layer of Peel Off Base Gel. Cure under LED for 60+ seconds.

03SIZE

Choose a strip slightly smaller than your nail. Smaller always fits better.

04APPLY

Press firmly from the cuticle outward along all edges. No gaps. No lift. Use the included wooden stick.

05TRIM

Trim the excess with nail scissors or clippers.

06CURE

Cure each nail under LED for 45+ seconds. Dark or heavily inked designs may need several rounds.

07FILE

File downward at 90° to shape to your desired length.

08TOP COAT

Apply VALLA Non-Wipe Top Gel and cure again 60+ seconds for extra shine and longer wear.

At home gel nail strips



Step 1: PREP
Wash and dry hands. Push back cuticles and keep nails dry and oil-free.

Step 2: APPLY
Pick strip size. Peel, place near cuticle, press smoothly.

Step 3: CUT
Fold extra over tip and trim with scissors or clippers.

Step 4: CURE
Cure under LED lamp for 45 seconds (or natural sunlight for 5+ minutes).

Step 5: FILE
File tips to shape and smooth.

Pro tips: Avoid water for 2-3 hours after application for best hold. Choose a strip slightly smaller than your nail for a clean edge. For extra shine and durability, apply a top gel and cure again

Frequently Asked Questions


  • 45 seconds per nail with the front light, or 5 nails together with the side light (using the Muuni lamp). Make sure your nails are fully cured before filing.

  • Oil or water on your nails. Wash your hands thoroughly and dry them completely — especially your nails. You can also use a wet wipe or alcohol swab to remove any oils before applying.

  • Choose a strip slightly smaller than your nail, press firmly along the cuticle edge, and avoid water for 2-3 hours after application. Clean, dry, oil-free nails = longest wear.

  • Gel can stiffen in the cold. Warm them up to room temperature or between your hands — they'll soften again and apply normally.

  • Yes, but keep them in the original pouch. Gel strips react to light (UV, LED, sunlight) and will cure if exposed. Our pouch is designed to protect them from light.

  • Peel them off starting from the cuticle. If they're stubborn, soak your nails in warm water for 5 minutes, then gently lift from the edges. No acetone needed.
