What is a silicone shallow mold？ What is a shallow mold used for?

Nail art silicone molds come in two types: shallow molds and deep molds.
Shallow molds are used with nail gel colors to create thin, 3D sticker-like nail designs.
Deep molds, need to be used with molding gel to create thicker, fully 3D nail art charms.

📌 How to Use Nail Charm Molds (Step-by-Step)

1. Choose your preferred design and fill the grooves of the 3D silicone nail art mold with nail gel.
2. After filling, use a scraper to scrape off the excess gel from the surface, leaving gel only in the grooves. Alternatively, you can gently wipe the surface with cleaner to remove any excess gel.
3. Cure the design under a UV/LED lamp.
4. Apply transfer gel to the nail surface and cure it thoroughly under a UV/LED lamp.
5. Invert the silicone mold onto the nail, gently press the design, and then lift the mold. The design will adhere to the nail like a 3D nail sticker.
6. Seal with a gel top coat for shine and durability

🌟For later use, apply a soft top coat and cure it. This way, the design can be peeled off and stored as 3D nail sticker.

🔑Q: Can silicone molds be used with nail polish?

No. Nail polish is too thin and lacks the necessary viscosity to hold its shape in the mold. You must use nail gel with a UV lamp for proper results.

🔑Q: The design did not transfer completely onto the nail

For beginners, when transferring a broken or incomplete design, first apply a layer of soft top coat or base gel and cure it thoroughly. Then press the design onto the nail. This helps prevent the design from deforming or coming out incomplete.
