What is the Shape Guides Starter Bundle?
The Paint Cure Peel Shape Guides Starter Bundle is the easiest way to start creating pre-designed gel nail art shapes and designs in advance.
Choose your shape, trace your designs onto Art Film, and create multiple perfectly shaped designs - ready to apply in seconds during appointments.
No measuring. No freehand shaping. Just a fast, repeatable system.
Who is this for?
This system is designed for nail techs who:
• Want to speed up nail art appointments
• Struggle with free-hand nail art designs
• Want to create consistent, repeatable designs.
• Prefer working ahead of time, not under pressure.
If chair time is limiting your work - this system was built for you.
What’s included?
Each Starter Bundle includes:
✔ 1 × Shape Guides Kit (your chosen shape)
→ 10 guides in 10 different sizes
✔ 10 × Art Films
✔ 10 × Protective Sheets
Everything you need to start tracing, creating and storing designs straight away.
A free digital training handbook & guide is emailed with every purchase - giving you everything you need to use the system effectively, troubleshoot and get the best results.
How does it work?
The process follows the Paint Cure Peel system:
Trace - Place Art Film over your Shape Guide and trace the design.
Paint & Cure - Create your design directly onto the film and cure fully.
Store - Cover with a Protective Sheet and store flat.
Peel & Apply - Apply to a cured but tacky gel layer when ready. Seal with a top coat or encapsulate.
How does this save time?
Because the design is already:
• Pre-made, ready to trace
• Sized to a range of sizes small to large
• Fully created before the appointment
• Ready to apply instantly
You’re no longer creating under time pressure - just applying.
Nail Guides vs Shape Guides
Both systems work in a similar way - but serve different purposes:
Nail Guides
→ Made-to-measure, freehand nail art in bespoke sizing per client
Shape Guides
→ Pre-set shapes for fast, repeatable design creation
Many nail techs use both together -depending on the style of nail art they’re creating.
What are Art Films & Protective Sheets?
Art Films and Protective Sheets are a core component of the Paint Cure Peel system.
They’re designed to allow you to create gel nail art in advance, store it safely, and apply it in seconds during appointments.
Art Films & Protective Sheets are essential in order to use any Paint Cure Peel Guides, and are completely reusable.
Whats makes our Art Films different?
The Paint Cure Peel Art Film is a transparent, gel-compatible material selected specifically for this system and use.
It’s designed to:
• Allow UV/LED light to pass through for proper curing
• Provide a smooth, controlled painting surface
• Enable clean, reliable peeling once cured
• Can be reused numerous times
• Can be sanitised with Isopropyl Alcohol.
Every detail - from the surface coating to the sizing - is built for consistency in a working salon environment.
Our Art Films are not like the DIY acetate sheets seen on social media - they're a purpose-built transparent film, with a specialised coating for easy peeling.
What are Protective Sheets for?
Protective Sheets are semi-transparent vellum layers designed to:
• Prevent dust and debris sticking to your designs
• Protect your artwork during storage
• Keep multiple designs organised and ready to use
They allow you to batch-create designs in advance and store them safely until your client appointment.
Why do I need this bundle?
This bundle gives you everything you need to:
• Start creating designs immediately
• Batch-make multiple shapes in advance
• Achieve clean, consistent results
• Reduce time spent shaping designs by hand
It’s ideal for nail techs who want a faster, more structured way to create nail art.

• Storage Binder & Wallets (for organisation)
Together, they allow you to offer an express nail art service.
What products can I use?
Gel Nail Products (recommended)
The system is designed primarily for gel.
Our Art Films allow gel to:
• Cure properly
• Peel cleanly
• Be worn safely
• No base coat required
Other products
Some nail techs also use:
• Nail polish
• Watercolours
• Nail art paints
• Peel bases
Technique adjustments may be needed depending on the product. For example, none-curing products may require a gel base coat or "peely" base.
Product Compatibility
Gel systems vary in:
• Flexibility
• Pigmentation
• Viscosity
While the system works with almost any gel nail product - we've tested a lot in-house, we cannot guarantee compatibility with every brand.
In almost all cases, thinner application resolves any issues. Refer to your digital guide for troubleshooting methods or feel free to reach out to us - we're always happy to help with anything we can.
Is it safe?
Yes - when used correctly.
The system is:
• Designed by a nail tech and scientist Lotte Seymour (MSc, BSc)
• Built around proper curing principles
• Developed to support safe gel application
Safety depends on:
• Correct curing
• Appropriate lamp use
• Following application guidance
Why this system is different
This isn’t a shortcut or a workaround.
It’s a structured system designed to:
• Separate creation from application
• Remove time pressure
• Improve consistency
• Increase efficiency
You’re not speeding up nail art - you’re changing when it happens, so you can cut client chair-time in half.
