Twisties Tutorial
Twisties is the effortless way to create high quality nail art. No hassle, no complicated tools. Just peel, place and perfection!
What You Will Need:
- your favorite Twistie design
- rubber base and top coat
- a nail file and a scissor
- (optional) tweezers
1. Ready, set — prep!
Prep your nails as you normally would before applying your gel polish or creating nail art. This can be a base of gel, polygel or acrylic — anything you would use before starting your nail art. Apply a rubber base of choice, and cure it under a UV lamp before moving to the next step. This will ensure the Twisties stick to the nail perfectly.

3. Peel & place
Peel your twistie off the sheet. Use tweezers for extra precision. Place it onto the sticky layer of your rubber base, starting from the cuticle and pressing down over the entire nail.

4. Smooth & set
Not quite right? No worries! You can reposition your Twistie as much as you need. Smooth it out, stretch it and make sure it hugs the nail tight and perfectly.

5. Seal the deal!
Apply a top coat to protect your twisties — don’t forget to seal the edges! Cure it under a UV lamp. Need to file or cut? Do it carefully, then apply a second layer of top coat for extra durability.
