Frequently Asked Questions
InstaNails are crafted from soft gel, making them easy to remove with pure acetone, similar to what you’d experience at a salon. For a step-by-step guide on how to effectively and safely remove your InstaNails, we recommend watching our ‘InstaNails Removal’ video available on our Tutorials page. This will provide you with all the details you need for a smooth removal process.
When correctly applied with the essential priming and preparation steps, EMIKO nails are designed to last up to three weeks. To ensure you achieve the optimal lifespan and appearance of your nails, we strongly recommend visiting our tutorials page for step-by-step videos on proper nail priming techniques. Following these guidelines will help you maximize both the durability and beauty of your EMIKO nails.
We highly recommend using the InstaNails lamp for the best application experience. Its design allows for accessibility from multiple angles, giving you superior control and preventing crooked placement. The InstaNails lamp comes included in our InstaNails Starter Kit, making it a convenient option for those new to the system.
Absolutely, you can easily shape your InstaNails to your liking using the hand file that comes included in our Starter Kit. This gives you the flexibility to customise your look to match your personal style.
No, InstaNails cannot be prepainted. The UV light required for curing needs to penetrate through the entire nail, including the builder gel. Prepainting would block this light and prevent proper curing. For optimal results, paint the nails after application and curing.
You’re welcome to treat InstaNails as an extension of your natural nails, giving you the freedom to use any brand of gel polish, standard nail polish, or even dip powder. While you’re not limited to using our EMIKO gel polish, we do recommend it for optimal compatibility and best results
Yes, you can definitely use our Builder Gel as a standalone treatment to fortify your natural nails. Many of our customers have successfully used it as a protective layer over short or bitten nails, enabling them to grow stronger and longer.

My first time using the Insta nails kit and I’m in love. I cannot believe how easy it was and how gorgeous they turned out.
Hand on my heart, I will never step foot in a nail salon again.
I’m already so excited at the thought of applying my new set once these fall off.
In fact I’m already considering purchasing the poly gel. I’m just so happy.

Let’s see in 2 weeks time if this set still attach and last up 3 weeks.
Friendly for 1st timer user. For me, not perfect yet, need more practice as this set took me 3 hrs to do🙂🙂

Love my Instanails kit! Helps me save money on getting acrylics like I used to! It’s a little more time consuming doing them myself but they turn out great! They’re lasting ages and feel super strong. I’ll be trying polygel next!

I’ve never been so impressed by a nail product. I used to do my own acrylic nails but as I was untrained it took me hours to achieve a very average result. I resorted to stick on nails; these were good but always lifted in the corners which encouraged me to pick at them constantly which was costly as I had to keep replacing them. I decided to try the Emiko Instanails. Firstly it only took me minutes to get them on. One thing I will say is definitely buy nail clamps as holding them on with my finger meant I couldn’t see the centre very well so a couple are a bit crooked. Clever filing however fixed that but I still recommend the clamps. There is no way these nails are lifting – they are very secure. The gel polish is first rate. Stunning finish. I’ve only put one top coat on over the polish and a week later they are still glossy and clear – no yellowing in sight. Service is brilliant, product is brilliant, price point is excellent – I will be ordering more. I’d love to see Emiko extend their range of colours as the polish is excellent.

This kit has everything you need, and it all seems good quality and easy to use. The tips are nice and thin once applied but also seem strong. I’ve done my nails twice now and my tips so far are:
-it’s easier to hold longer tips during application and then cut/file shorter than to try to apply short tips to start with
-you don’t need much builder gel on the InstaNail, and hold your finger pointing down to allow the builder gel to flow down towards your fingertip rather than towards your cuticle area
-have a think about what your natural nail shape is (ie nail bed length and shape around cuticles) and try to choose InstaNail tips that you think will fit your natural nail well

Such a amazing product! I regularly do my nails from home. This is my first time doing gel nails and I’m so impressed! So easy to use and great quality. The little lamp is so handy when you need to hold the fake nails when they cure and the polish is lasting so well. Can’t wait to buy more colors 😍💕
