Kits commonly include 32 gel strips (often a mix of base colors and accents), prep pads, and a nail file. Many starter kits also add manicure sticks and an LED lamp.

Product descriptions often claim wear up to 14 days; reviewers commonly report nails lasting about one to two weeks depending on prep and application.

Removal typically involves applying a remover or cuticle oil to the nail bed, then using the included manicure stick to gently lift and roll the strip off rather than peeling it quickly.

Many kits include multiple sizes—commonly 12 sizes across a sheet with 32 strips total—so shoppers can select or trim strips for the best fit.

Starter kits commonly bundle application tools and accessories such as prep pads, nail files, manicure sticks, LED lamps, buffer tools, and—in magnetic kits—a magnet tool for special effects.
