Gel Wraps
Real gel, without the lamp. Peel, place, shape and go. No lamp, no cure, no wait.
Prep your nails
Ensure your nails are clean and dry, and avoid washing your hands for an hour before you start. Gently push back your cuticles with the crystal stick, then lightly file the surface of each nail to remove the shine. This helps the wraps grip. If your nail beds are naturally oily, a little extra buffing helps them last.
Choose your size
Select the wrap that best matches each nail. If you are between sizes, choose the slightly smaller one for the most natural look. The wraps stretch easily to fit.
Lift and place
Gently lift the wrap from its backing with your crystal stick, touching only the very tip that will not sit on your nail, to keep it sticky. Apply it just above the cuticle line, avoiding your skin.
Smooth it down
Press firmly from the centre outwards, first with the flat edge of your crystal stick, then with your finger, smoothing out any air bubbles for a sealed, flawless finish.
File to fit
Fold the wrap over the tip of your nail and file downwards in one single direction. The wrap must end exactly level with your nail, as even a millimetre too long can cause early lifting, so take care here. Filing in one direction only, never back and forth, keeps the wrap sealed.
Seal and finish
Press the wrap down firmly once more, rubbing along the edge to make sure it is fully adhered. Check there is no excess left over. You are done, no lamp, no cure, no wait.
Gently lift one edge with your crystal stick, take your time, then apply a few drops of cuticle oil around and under the edge to ease it away cleanly.
Avoid oil before and during application, as it shortens wear time, and keep your hands dry for two hours afterwards.
