Many packs include multiple sizes to improve fit: gel strips often list up to 15 sizes and press-on packs up to 21 sizes, with total nail counts commonly ranging from 30 to 42 pieces.
Semi-cured gel strips and some gel systems require LED curing—kits may include a lamp and instructions to cure 1–3 times. Dip powder systems typically note that no UV/LED lamp is needed.
Common shapes include Square, Oval, Squared Oval (squoval), and Round. Pack sizes typically range from about 30 up to 42 pieces.
Kits commonly include prep pads or wipes, cuticle pushers or sticks, nail files, and manicure sticks. Some also include brushes, dipping trays, sponges, or small bottles of glue or activator.
Common finishes include gloss and matte (sometimes described as 'natural'). Color tones range across light, medium, and dark, with styles offered as solid colors or patterned designs.
