What Are Nail Polish Wraps?

Nail polish wraps are a great alternative to nail polish and nail stamping because they are much easier to do and don’t require a lot of skills. In addition to this, they last longer than traditional nail polish! With a good top coat, they can easily last up to 10 days.

How Do You Apply Nail Polish Strips?

Applying nail polish strips takes just a few minutes and you don’t have to worry about streaks, smudging or drying time. They are perfect for travel and those on the go! Just peel, stick and file! There is NO HEAT involved, and they come in various sizes so you don’t have to cut or shape the nail strips either. Prior to applying, it is important to clean and prep your nail. Wash your hands and nails (avoid a moisturizing soap since that can leave oils on your nails). Just like when applying colored nail polish, apply a good quality clear base coat on your nails prior to applying nail strips. This helps protect the nail, fills in any uneven ridges, and provides a smooth surface for the nail strips to stick to. Pick the nail strip size that closely matches your nails, and apply it close to the base of your nail but not overlapping any skin. Smooth it out on your nail, and use the nail file to file off the extra along the edge of your nail. Don’t forget to apply a good quality top coat for seal and shine! Be sure to seal the tips of your fingernails well to ensure the nail strip doesn’t snag or lift.

What Are Stick-on Polish Strips Made Of?

Our nail polish wraps are made of nail polish, but without the smelly and icky stuff. Say “No” to phthalates, tosylamide, and other icky chemicals. All ingredients are certified safe for the nails and can be found here.

Are They Bad For Your Nails?

Proper application and removal of nail wraps can prevent any potential damage to the nails. In short, clean nails + base coat prior, and don’t rip off your nail polish wraps…that’s like picking off nail polish, or ripping off duct tape from your skin!! Ouch for the nails. Make sure you properly remove them following our tips here, and read more here for tips on keeping your nails healthy!
