How to Apply

*Important tips for successful application*

• Always clean nails with rubbing alcohol before application! To remove oils, lotions and debris from nail beds

• Avoid immersing nail wraps in water for at least 3 hours after application! 
Hand washing is ok, but avoid doing dishes, cleaning or taking a shower. 
We suggest applying them before bed.

• Start applying wraps at pinky and work toward thumb.

• If wrap is covering skin or cuticle area, quickly peel off and re-adjust.
This can cause nail wraps to lift.

• Apply a high quality top coat for longer wear and to prevent chipping.
We recommend our Nail Fox Brilliant Shine Quick Dry Top Coat, formulated for nail wraps. No UV light needed!

• Always apply top coat if applying sunscreen and swimming. It will prevent the nail wraps from breaking down and getting sticky.

• Don’t apply wraps when they are cold, warm them up to room temperature. Or you can use a hairdryer on warm setting quickly to make them warm, pliable and adhere better. You can also put them under your thigh to warm up.

• Avoid using lotion prior to applying, can cause wraps to not stick.

• Wraps last 7-10 days or longer. • To remove, simply peel off or use nail polish remover.


No Light Gels (NLG):

With the right nail prep and application steps, you’ll get great results.

Here are a few key tips that make a big difference:

• No Light Gels you need to warm them up to room temperature and make sure your hands are warmed up too. If they are too cold, they will not stick well and be rigid. Put them under your thigh for a few minutes or hit them with a hairdryer on low setting for a bit or you can use my nail wrap heater.

  • Start with clean nails. Wash with soap and water, then use an alcohol wipe (or alcohol on a cotton pad) to remove any oils, lotions, or residue.
  • Avoid water for the first few hours. The wraps need time to set and adhere properly. It’s best not to submerge your hands in warm or hot water for at least 3 hours after applying — that means no showers, cleaning, cooking, or dishes right away. Handwashing is fine.

  • Make sure to firmly press all along the edges very good to make sure they are full on the nail bed. Do not overlap on skin or cuticles. This will cause them to lift.

  • Apply at night. I always apply mine at the end of the day so they can set overnight.

  • After 2 hours, finish with a top coat. A good quality top coat will seal them in and help them last even longer.

Also, in some cases some people's nails are oilier than others and we suggest to apply Orly bonder rubberized base coat first before application.
