Step 1: Clean your nails
You may wash your hands with soap and water or you can clean the nails with an alcohol pad. This will remove any oils or lotions that may prevent the wraps from staying on properly.
Step 2: Choose The Right Size
Lineup the wraps over your nails to find the best fit that will cover the most nail but not touch your skin.
Step 3: Remove Clear Plastic Wrap
There is a thin protective clear film on top of all the wraps you must remove before applying.
Step 4: Peel wrap
Start at the small indent near the center and give it a little tug to peel off.
Step 5: Place wrap near the cuticle
But do not put it on it! From there smooth it out going up your nail until there are no bubble and you are happy with the fit. If you placed it slightly crooked you can reapply if you haven’t pressed it down hard yet. Don’t panic!
Step 6: File off Excess in a downward motion.
Take your time and when the excess is close to being filed off you may gently tug it free. If it does not come off easy file a little more until it does.
Helpful Tips
- Don’t get wet or apply lotions for at least 2 hours after as they need a little time to cure to your nail. I like to apply mine right before bed because somehow I always forget that part!
- You can apply a topcoat for a longer-lasting manicure but I find these last pretty long even without this step!
- To remove simply peel off.
