A gel nail sticker includes a bottom layer, a color layer arranged on the bottom layer, a bronzing primer layer arranged on the color layer, a brightening layer arranged on the bronzing primer layer, and a protective film arranged on the brightening layer. The bottom layer adopts a self-adhesive layer with strong adhesion, flexibility, deformability, and stretchability. The color layer is printed in different colors depending on the needs of the product. The first varnish layer and second varnish layer protect the color layer. The bronzing primer layer is used to make the surface of the nail sticker display a shimmering effect. The bronzing film protects the bronzing primer layer. The protective film is used to prevent scratches on the surface of the nail sticker. By setting the color layer, bronzing primer layer and brightening layer, the nail sticker can present a more beautiful effect.
