General Q's
“Kijibae” is a sassy little word play on the Korean word for “b*tchhhh"!
We wanted something that captured the playful banter that happens between besties! You know, the eye-rolling, full-of-love kind! KIJIBAE is serving up bold and trendy nail art that will get all the girls talking..
Semi-cured gel nail strips are thin strips of gel polish and ours come 60% cured. They’re flexible, can be adjusted to fit your nails, and can be fully cured under a UV lamp for 60 seconds—giving you nails that will last up to 3 weeks..
Press-on nails are made of acrylic resin that come with an adhesive sticker or nail glue. These are much more damaging to your nails and can leave them feeling thin, brittle, and dry.
Semi-cured gel nail strips are gel nail polish in the form of adhesive strips that already come 60-80% cured. They are guaranteed to last longer than press on nails and are less damaging to the nails. They're also flexible and can be adjusted to fit your nail shape better.
Kijibae nails come 60% semi cured and are glossier and have a strong adhesive that guarantees a long-lasting wear. Not to mention, these designs are all made in-house!
Our strips have the power to last up to 3 weeks if you follow all of our steps and game-changing tips! Check out our Instagram for even more tips & tricks to have your nails slay for as long as possible.
Our mani sets include 24 nail strips in different sizes, ensuring the perfect fit for every nail. Our pedicure sets come with 36 strips, giving you plenty of options for a flawless look.
Yes, think salon-quality at home! Our gel nail strips come 60% cured, so once you fit and size them onto your natural nails, you’ll want to use our ultra-light UV lamp for 60 secs to get them 100% cured for a mess-free, long-lasting manicure.
Here are our 5 simple steps on applying our strips!
Step 1:
Preparation is Key - Wash your hands and pat them down completely dry! Then, use an alcohol pad to clean each nail. We also recommend using our “In My Prime” Nail Primer to ensure the nail strips fully adhere.
Step 2:
Select Your Size - Carefully remove the plastic film and peel off the nail strip that best fits your nail.
Step 3:
Get Applying - apply the nail strip firmly to your nail, ensuring it is positioned above your cuticle line and skin. Use the plastic cuticle stick provided to push down the edges of the strips onto your nails.
Step 4:
Cut & Trim - Shape ‘em up using nail scissors or nail file to trim and hone in on the perfect shape to match your nail size. You can find nail scissors and all essential nail tools in our Nail Aid Kit!
Step 5:
Cure It - For a longer-lasting shine, use a gel lamp to cure the nails for 60 seconds. For EXTRA gloss, we recommend applying our “Seal the Deal” UV Gel Top Coat!
Don’t rip off those strips! Using the plastic cuticle stick provided with our package, gently lift up the nail strips off your nail beds. It's best if you use our “Strip Me Away” Remover for easier removal while preventing any nail damage!
Kijibae nails are already 60% cured. That means any UV light or sunlight can make them harden. To avoid the strips from hardening, store them away from sunlight, ideally back in their package and tucked away in a drawer or closed area. We recommend getting our Kijibae Pouch to store the strips and all other nail accessories (they come in 3 colorways!).
No, you can't reuse the strips you used already. However, since our package comes with 24 strips you could get 2 manicures out of them, as long as they have been kept FAR away from sunlight and have been kept in their package!
We recommend trimming the strip down to your nail length as attempting to leave them longer will not guarantee long-lasting wear.
