Paint Cure Peel Basic Shapes Shape Guide Kit | 10 Reusable Guides to Pre-make Gel Nail Art
Batch-create consistent nail art with the Basic Shapes Shape Guide Kit. Featuring 10 reusable Shape Guides in one shape (Circle, Square, Rectangle, Diamond, Oval or Triangle), designed to help you trace and repeat perfectly sized designs within the Paint Cure Peel system. Must be used alongside Art Films & Protective Sheets (purchased separately).
The Paint Cure Peel Shape Guides allow you to batch-create perfectly shaped gel nail art in advance.
Shape Guides give you pre-designed shapes in multiple sizes, so you can quickly create consistent designs, ready to apply during appointments.
They’re ideal for repeatable designs, clean shapes and faster appointments.
Each Shape Guide Kit contains:
• 10 × Shape Guides
• One selected shape
• 10 different sizes within that shape
You can purchase shapes individually or as a full collection.
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.
The system follows a simple workflow:
Paint & Cure - Place Art Film over the Shape Guide and trace your design in gel nail product. Create your design directly onto the art film and cure fully.
Store - Cover with a Protective Sheet and store for later use.
Peel & Apply - Apply to a cured but tacky gel layer when ready. Finish with a top coat or encapsulate, for a smoother finish.
Shape Guides are designed for speed and consistency.
They allow you to:
• Batch-create multiple identical designs
• Achieve clean, symmetrical shapes every time
• Reduce time spent perfecting shapes by hand
• Build repeatable design sets quickly
Perfect for nail techs offering structured or graphic nail art styles.
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.
Each Shape Guide is designed to:
• Provide clean, consistent shapes and outlines
• Be used repeatedly for batch creation
• Work seamlessly with Art Films and Protective Sheets
No freehand designing required - just trace, paint and go.
No - you can purchase Art Films & Protective Sheets here.
Shape Guides are designed to work alongside:
• Art Films (for creating designs)
• Protective Sheets (for storage)
• Storage Binder & Wallets (for organisation)
Together, they allow you to offer an express nail art service.

Do I need to measure nails for this?
No - Shape Guides are not made-to-measure.
They’re designed for creating pre-set shapes that can be applied across different clients.
Which shapes should I start with?
Start with shapes that match your style or the designs you offer most often.
The Basic Shapes collection is designed to cover the most commonly used, simplistic shapes.
Can I use these with Nail Guides?
Yes — many nail techs use both.
For example:
• Nail Guides for base sizing
• Shape Guides for design elements
Are these suitable for beginners?
Yes - they remove the need to perfect shapes by hand, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced nail techs.
Will this save time?
Yes - especially for repeated designs.
You can create multiple identical shapes in advance, ready to apply instantly.
