Tip 1 - Seal the Deal

To help your nail wraps last longer, seal them with a high-quality top coat. Sealing your nail wraps with a top coat ensures that they have minimal exposure to possible damage. The top coat will not only act as a shield for your nail wraps that will preserve their original color and design but will also leave a beautiful shine and finish. Apply a thin layer of a clear, quick-drying top coat over the entire surface, including the edges, to protect the wraps from moisture, wear, and tear.

Some of our favorite top coats that work best with our nail wraps are: 

  • Essie Platinum Grade Finish
  • Essie Gel Setter
  • Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails
  • Tip 2 - Gentle Treatment

    Take good care of your nails so that your wraps can stay looking great! It's important to avoid harsh chemicals and products that might not be compatible with nail wraps, as they can weaken them and lead to issues like lifting, chipping, peeling, or fading.

    If you're going to be doing anything that involves contact with chemicals or other products, make sure to protect your nail wraps. You can do this by wearing gloves or using waterproof finger guards. This will help keep your wraps safe and secure.

    Tip 3 - Avoid Prolonged Exposure To Water and Heat

    Nail wraps' natural enemies are water and heat. Prolonged exposure to heat makes the wraps weaker and more likely to tear. Water can also dissolve the wraps' adhesives. So, be careful not to let your nail wraps be exposed to water and heat for prolonged periods of time.

    Tip 4 - Regular Maintenance

    Maintaining your nail wraps is crucial for their longevity. Be proactive by regularly inspecting your nails for any signs of lifting or wear. A quick reapplication of top coat can help keep the wraps in pristine condition. Staying vigilant and performing necessary maintenance will keep your nail wraps looking fresh and vibrant for a longer period of time.
