Sizing QuestionsQ: Why do I need to take photos of my hands?
A: We use the four photos that you provide to create your nail 'masks' using our proprietary patent-pending computer vision, which we then use to make your made-to-measure gels
Q: Do I need to upload new photos every time I order?A: No, we will use your photos from last time, unless you choose to upload new photos. If you are concerned about your nails growing, please select 'add length to nail tip' so that we can make them a little bit longer
Q: Why do I need to place my fingers on a card when taking photos?
A: We use the standard-sized card as a reference object so we can measure your nails to scale
Q: What card should I use?
A: Please use a standard-sized card (ID-1 as per ISO standards). This could be your driver's license, ID card, credit or debit card. If you are using a credit or debit card, please hide your digits as much as possible
Q: What if the made-to-measure gels don’t fit my nails properly?
A: We've been working hard to create the perfect fit, but if something's not quite right, please drop us an email at help@glaize.co with a couple of pictures and we'll sort out your sizing ASAP!
Q: I’ve grown out / changed the shape of my nails since scanning my hands. How can I update the size of my made-to-measure gels?
A: Please drop us an email at help@glaize.co so we can send you an updated link for you to upload your new hand snaps

Application & Removal QuestionsQ: How do I apply my made-to-measure gels?
A: Check out our how to apply guide here
Q: I can’t find my Glaize prep pad or nail file. What can I use instead?
A: If you can't find your prep juice bottle and pad, don't worry! 😘 You can simply use rubbing alcohol and a cotton pad. To remove the excess length, you can use any nail file. Alternatively, a nail clipper also works really well, especially if your nails are short
Q: I’m unable to file my nails because they’re too short. What can I do?
A: If your nails are super short, we recommend using a nail clipper to trim off any excess
Q: How long does it take to apply my made-to-measure gels?
A: It depends on whether this is your first time or not but on average, it should only take about 10 minutes. Seasoned Glaize pros will be even speedier! Check out our how to apply guide if you need any application tips and tricks
Q: Can I apply a base coat or a top coat so my gels last longer and stick better?
A: You could but you don't have to as our gels are already shiny and long-lasting on their own
Q: How do I remove my made-to-measure gels?
A: To remove your gels, simply peel them off gently. We recommend using a cuticle stick to lift off your gels at the corners and applying a bit of cream or oil to your nails when peeling off your gels. SO much easier (and quicker) than wrapping your nails in foil and waiting for gel to dissolve!
Q: How should I dispose of my gels?
A: In the same way you would with regular gel nails. Once removed, our gels should be disposed of in the bin
