Ace Application & Longevity for Busy School Days
You want your nails to look great through classes, study sessions, and all your extracurriculars. Getting a long-lasting manicure with Lily & Fox nail wraps is simple with just a few key steps:
Nail Prep for Maximum Wear
Think of nail prep as laying the groundwork for a flawless, long-lasting manicure. A little time here saves a lot of hassle later!
-
Start Clean: Make sure your nails are completely free of old polish, oils, and dirt. Use an alcohol wipe or nail polish remover to thoroughly clean each nail surface.
-
Push Back Cuticles: Gently push back your cuticles. This creates a clean, smooth surface for the wrap to adhere to and prevents lifting.
-
Buff Lightly (Optional, but Recommended for Longevity): A quick, gentle buff can help create a slightly textured surface for better grip, especially if your nails are naturally very smooth.
-
Size It Right: Choose the wrap that best fits each nail. If it's too wide, trim it slightly before applying. A proper fit is crucial for long wear.
Flawless Application Tips
Once your nails are prepped, application is a breeze. Remember, practice makes perfect, and our wraps are very forgiving!
-
Peel with Care: Gently peel the wrap from its backing, trying not to touch the adhesive side with your fingers.
-
Apply and Smooth: Place the wrap at the base of your nail, just above the cuticle. Press down firmly and smooth it out from the center outwards, pushing out any air bubbles.
-
Trim and File: Once smoothed, gently fold the excess wrap over the edge of your nail. Use a nail file (always in a downward motion!) to carefully remove the extra material.
-
Heat for Hold: A little warmth helps! After applying, press down on the wrap firmly, using the warmth from your fingers. For extra adhesion, you can gently warm your nails with a hairdryer on a low, cool setting for a few seconds, then press down again.
-
Top Coat Power: For super durability and extra shine, apply a clear top coat over your wraps. This seals the edges and protects your design from daily wear and tear.
Quick Fixes & On-the-Go Glow-Ups
Even on the busiest school days, keeping your nails looking fresh is super easy. Here are a couple of quick fixes to keep your manicure flawless:
Your Mini Mani Emergency Kit: Toss a small nail file and an extra small Lily & Fox wrap (or a few small scraps) into your backpack or pencil case. This tiny kit is perfect for any unexpected snag or for quickly replacing a single wrap if needed.
Cuticle Quickie: Hydrated cuticles make a huge difference! Keep a small cuticle oil pen or even a tiny tube of hand cream in your bag. A quick dab and massage during a study break can keep your cuticles healthy and your manicure looking neat, even during hectic weeks.
Start the Year Strong, Nail by Nail!
So, there you have it! Lily & Fox nail wraps are truly the perfect companion for the new school year. They bring a dose of fun, effortless style, and amazing ease to your routine. We believe every learner deserves to express themselves and embrace the confidence that comes with a fantastic manicure.
