How to Apply and Remove Nail Gel Wraps
Prep, peel, and stick!
Prep
- Gently push back cuticles using cuticle pusher included.
- File and shape as desired. Buff nail surface so the nail wraps can adhere well.
- Use an alcohol pad to remove any excess dust and oils from your nails. Ensure that nails are dry and free from oil before application.
- For a longer lasting finish, use a base coat. This is not mandatory, but if you have oily nails and/or an uneven surface, a layer of base coat will help the wrap to adhere to your nails.
Application
- Measure nail wrap to your nails to determine the best fit (we recommend one that is slightly smaller)
- Remove the clear protective film.
- Peel off selected nail wrap from the silver end.
- Centre nail wrap and apply to nail close to the nail bed without covering skin or cuticles.
- Press firmly to smooth down the wraps, gently rubbing out any wrinkles or bubbles.
- Continue to smooth the wrap over the tip of your nail to cap it.
- File downwards to remove excess wrap.
- Repeat on all 10 nails.
- Apply top coat for a longer lasting finish!
Removal
- Soak nails in warm water for 10 minutes to loosen the adhesive.
- Gently peel off the nail wraps.
Tips for a longer lasting finish
- Always start with clean dry hands.
- Buff your nail.
- Apply base coat. (optional)
- Avoid touching your skin and cuticle.
- File downwards and in one direction only.
- Apply top coat. Avoid quick drying top coats as this can cause shrinkage and bubbles.
- Avoid water for a few hours.
- Maximise each pack by cutting the nail wraps into half if you have short nails.
