These Semi-Cured Gel nail wraps, made from real gel nail polish that is 60% pre-cured, apply similarly to our standard nail wraps. A brief 60-second exposure to UV LED light hardens these strips, resulting in a durable manicure that lasts up to 14 days. They're particularly advantageous for those with thin or brittle nails, as they provide added strength and support.

 

Application steps:

  1. Nail PreparationStart by preparing your nails: push back the cuticles and clean them with a degreasing dish soap, like Dawn, or wipe your nails with an alcohol prep pad to remove oils and debris.

  2. Choosing the Right Wrap Size: Choose a strip that matches your nail size perfectly or opt for one slightly smaller for an optimal fit. If necessary, gently stretch the strip, making sure it does not come into contact with the skin surrounding your nail. It's better to use smaller sizes rather than larger ones to prevent overlap on your skin or cuticles.

  3. ApplicationCarefully peel off the clear protective layer and apply the nail wrap to your nail, touching the adhesive as little as possible to maintain its stickiness. Use the wooden stick provided or a rubber cuticle pusher, secure the the strip onto your nail. Rolling the edges with the side of the stick helps to prevent lifting and snagging of the nail wraps. Ensure they're correctly positioned before curing.

  4. Curing Under a UV LED Lamp: After you've perfectly applied the wraps, cure them by placing your nails under a UV LED lamp for 60 seconds. This crucial step solidifies the wraps with the UV light, guaranteeing a professional and polished finish. Need a UV LED Lamp? We offer one perfectly tailored to cure our Semi-Cured Gel wraps in our Collections dropdown menu.

  5. Trimming Excess Wrap: Once the wraps are cured, you may notice some overhang beyond your nail tips. Use nail clippers or curved cuticle scissors for precise trimming. The goal is to cut the wrap down to the exact size of your nail, avoiding any overlapping edges which can lead to peeling or snagging.

  6. Filing Off Remaining Excess: After trimming, use a nail file to smooth out the edges. Remember to file downwards, starting from the tip of your nail. This technique is key in sealing the edge of the wrap to your nail and helps to prevent any lifting.

  7. Applying a Top Coat (Optional): For added shine and an extra layer of protection, consider applying a clear top coat or UV gel top coat over the wrap. This not only enhances the wrap's appearance but also extends its longevity by protecting it from chips and scratches. 

  8. Storing Unused Strips: If you have leftover nail wrap strips, store them back in their original, dark packaging. Exposure to light, especially UV light, can cause the wraps to cure or harden prematurely. Keeping them in a dark place ensures they remain pliable and ready to use for your next manicure.

 

To take off the wraps, start by gently lifting a corner to break the seal. For easy removal, you should use nail polish remover or warm coconut oil along with a rubber cuticle pusher to gently dissolve the adhesive between the wrap and your nail. It's important not to peel or forcefully pry them off, as this could harm your natural nails.

Age Recommendation: Semi-Cured Gel wraps are best suited for adults. We don’t recommend them for children or younger teens, since gels require UV light to cure and can be trickier to remove. For kids and teens, we suggest our Standard Collection or Kids Collection—they’re fun, safe, and don’t need a lamp.

One of the best Star Wars comic series of all time.
Format: Kindle
Crimson Empire was the first Star Wars comic that I read. Stories like these are what kept Star Wars alive and fresh during the nearly 20 years between films. I love the stories about those minor characters that you see in the films. When you saw the Crimson Guard with the Emperor for the first time, you knew there was something fascinating about these guardians of the most powerful being in the universe. This story delves into some of those characters. The art is fantastic, sort of that stylized 90's colorful art. Awesome battle scenes. It really captures the imagination. Great story, give it a try. I highly recommend getting a paper copy of this trade.

Top Notch!
Format: Hardcover
A lot of the time when your reading SW books your imagination doesn't quite fill in the gaps that the author leaves. A lot of SW books have little to no detail because they are movie or game based. This is where the top notch illiustrations took this story line to a whole new level! Richardson does a great job on developping the main character. I was very impressed with the quality of the story and blown away with the illustrations. Great read for all!

Great saga!
Format: Kindle
I love this series! It is beautifully painted, has good dialogue, and has a very compelling narrative. I cannot help but like the protagonist, Kir Kanos. He is brave, unselfish, noble, determined, and deadly. Even if his primary goal is to exact vengeance for the killing of the truly evil Palpatine, I cannot help but cheer for him. This is truly a compelling read that refuses to be put down.

Just an OK read
Format: Kindle
I was not aware when I purchased this that it was a Graphic Novel, I really wish that in the blurb about these products it was made very clear that you are buying a Graphic Novel. I like reading, not viewing the written word. Since I got this via Kindle there was no shipping issues. Maybe the Graphic Novels should have their own category, so that we don't end up with things we don't want.

"Thus die all traitors."
Format: Hardcover
At a grand 504 pages, this big book covers the Crimson Empire series in its entirety. Containing the first, second, and third mini-series as well as Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil, Dark Horse Extra #21-24 "Hard Currency", and Dark Horse Presents #1 "Third Time Pays for All". While some of these stories truly pale in comparison to the original series, they all still form a big story that is collected in this book. Slightly smaller than a regular TPB, this hardcover edition looks nice with a dustjacket (although mine was very off-center) but utilizes a glued binding on this thick book so you lose a bit to gutter loss. The first story in the book is the classic Crimson Empire series. The six-issue series is collected here in full with a truly timeless story by Randy Stradley and Mike Richardson. Paul Gulacy did the awesome art within the issues. The writing and art work well together with the vibration of the blades to the movie-like, choreographed 12-page fight scene between Kanos and Jax at the end. A truly epic tale with lots of action and mystery that made you feel like you were watching another Star Wars movie but condensed into six issues of a comic book! This alone is worth the purchase price but you get even more stories after this! Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil follows the Crimson Empire in a tale following Kir Kanos after the end of the Crimson Empire series and was the third issue in the Bounty Hunters series. Kir becomes the bounty hunter Kenix Kil to move through a bounty hunter-filled planet and get what he needs and get out alive! Javier Saltares did the penciling while Randy Stradley reprised his role for the story. The story's short but tells a bit more about Kir and his journey. The drawings, while not as good as the first series, look good enough to get the story across. Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood is next directly following the first series as Kir Kanos, as Kenix Kil, continues his quest to destroy what's left of the traitorous Imperial leaders. However, the return of an old friend side-tracks his quest and brings him to an even bigger journey! The old writing team of Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley return in this story as well as the original artist Paul Gulacy. The art's great and the story, though a bit dense, works well. There isn't quite as much action this time around but the story's just as good. The Zanzibar creatures are one of the creepiest things you'll ever see in a Star Wars comic, too! Next up is the very short four-part comic entitled Hard Currency that appeared in Dark Horse Extra #21-24. The comic is written by Randy Stradley so you know the writing's done well but the art is by Isaas Buckminister Owens and is one God-awful mess. The characters are horribly out of proportion and it looks extremely cartoony. It's very, very short with only a few pages but even if you get past the art, the comic reads like a calendar with the book turned on its side. So, the whole process of reading this out of a 500+ page book is just annoying. I know they probably couldn't print it any other way but it's still inconvenient. However, what you get is a neat story wrapping up the fate of a character that has ran through the first two series and a bit more about Kir's alter ego Kenix Kil. Unlisted, the book appears to start with the third main series but actually contains an 8-page prequel comic that originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents #1 entitled The Third Time Pays for All. The writing has Randy Stradley again and, thankfully, Paul Gulacy on art duty (although his other works here were better). Once again, a short glimpse into the life of (a newly outfitted) Kenix Kil on a bounty-hunting mission while he reminisces about his past run-ins with Mirith Sinn. Mike, Randy and Paul continue their work with the Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost where Kir Kanos rejoins Mirith Sinn one last time to thwart an Imperial thug from destroying the New Republic and the New Empire in one fell swoop! Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie appear in this tale as well as Boba Fett to round out a classic cast. The art's great, once again, and the writing, while probably my least favorite of the series, is still pretty good with an epic fight between Kir and Devian. At the end of the book, we get the Crimson Empire Handbook entries on some of the characters as well as a few more covers to gawk at. While this hardcover book looks really nice, Dark Horse still fails to make a truly great edition for this series through the book itself. The contents are great but the small size and lack of comic covers are disappointing. Sadly, that's just how Dark Horse releases their hardcovers and TPBs. But, if you're looking to read the Crimson Empire books, this is the one to get!
