Why starter kits deliver consistent, long-lasting results
Today’s at-home kits are engineered for ease of use and durability. Here’s what makes them so effective for flawless nails every time:

Easy to Use
Designed for beginners and pros alike, our kits come with clear, step‑by‑step instructions. Simply prep your nails, apply the semi‑cured gel strips, cure under the lamp, and you’re done, no special skills required.
All the Essentials
Beyond the gel strips, the kit includes Cuticle Cuddle oil to nourish your nail beds, a mini UV LED light for fast curing, a nail file, and a cuticle pusher. These accessories streamline your prep and finish steps, ensuring a flawless, long‑lasting result.
By combining these elements, your DIY manicure rivals any salon treatment in both look and longevity. Expect up to three weeks of chip-resistant wear with minimal maintenance.
Step-by-step guide to a professional-quality manicure
Follow this steps routine to lock in flawless nails at home:
1. Clean & prep
Remove old polish, gently push back cuticles, and buff the nail surface. Wipe each nail with the included cleanser to remove oils.
2. Color application
Paint two thin coats of your chosen gel shade, curing each layer fully. Thin layers mean even curing and prevent lifting.
3. Top coat
Seal with the glossy top coat and cure. This final seal locks in pigment and protects against daily wear.
4. Cuticle oil
Massage nourishing oil around each nail. Healthy cuticles support longer-lasting polish and prevent cracking.
5. Ongoing care
Wear gloves for chores, avoid harsh detergents, and reapply a thin layer of top coat weekly to maintain that fresh-from-the-salon sheen.
Adhering to this process helps you achieve flawless nails without spending hours or breaking the bank.
Expand your color palette and finish options
One of the best parts of our Starter Kit is the curated palette of on‑trend shades—so you can switch up your look anytime:

With just these few picks (and more in every kit), you can match your mani to any mood—classic, edgy, or whimsical, while enjoying Lehmani’s flawless nails.
Adhesive accents with silver studs
Elevate your gel nail strips with metallic flair by adding silver studs directly onto the strip. Follow Lehmani’s proven application steps to ensure flawless adhesion and a long‑lasting finish:
1. Prep Your Nails
- Remove any existing polish, shape your nails, and gently push back cuticles.
- Lightly buff the nail surface and cleanse thoroughly with soap and water (or a gentle nail cleanser). Make sure nails are completely dry and oil‑free before proceeding.
2. Apply Your Gel Nail Strip
- Select a strip that fits each nail without overlapping cuticles or sidewalls. Position the strip at the cuticle line and press down toward the tip, smoothing out any air bubbles with a cuticle picker.
- Trim excess length close to your natural nail with clippers or scissors, then file edges to perfect the shape.
3. Place & Cure Your Stud
Before curing, use a dotting tool or tweezers to pick up a tiny silver stud. Gently press it onto the tacky surface of the applied strip, ideal placements include:
- Cuticle Accent: a single stud at the nail base
- Tip Cluster: a mini‑cluster of two or three studs near the free edge
- Central Line: a linear row down the nail’s center
- Cure under your UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds: Lehmani’s lamp will automatically shut off when the cycle completes.
4. Styling Tips & Removal
- Mix and match: alternate plain strips with silver‑studded nails or pair a stud accent with a graphic white swirl nail strip for contrast.
- To remove, gently lift an edge with a cuticle pusher and peel off the strip. Any leftover stud can be eased off after a brief soak with cuticle oil or remover.
Quick-change style: versatile nail wraps
By trying out these versatile gel nail strips ultra-thin adhesive strips pre-printed with every imaginable design, you can switch looks in under two minutes. From marble swirls to floral motifs and metallic finishes, nail wraps offer instant style:
1. Preparation: Clean and buff nails, pushing back cuticles.
2. Application: Peel off the backing, press the wrap onto your nail, smooth edges.
3. Finishing Touch: Trim excess with a file; no curing needed.
Nail wraps give you flawless nails without the wait, smudges, or extra products. Peel them off at the end of the week for painless removal and a fresh canvas for your next design.
Proper removal and nail health
To preserve nail strength, remove products correctly:
- Gel polish removal: Soak a cotton pad with acetone, wrap each nail in foil for 10–15 minutes, then gently push off remaining gel.
- Wrap removal: Apply cuticle oil or adhesive remover around edges, wait a minute, then peel.
After removal, buff gently and apply a strengthening nail oil or treatment. Regular hydration prevents brittleness and maintains a healthy nail bed, the key for achieving flawless nails every time you start a new look.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
Even the best kits require minor upkeep:
- Edge Sealing: Run your top coat around the nail’s free edge to block water ingress.
- Lamp Care: Wipe the LED lamp’s interior with a soft cloth to remove dust and maintain curing power.
- Touch-Ups: For minor chips, reapply a thin layer of color and top coat, curing briefly to blend seamlessly.
Addressing these small details ensures your manicure stays salon-fresh and chip-free, delivering flawless nails you’ll love for days on end.
