★ ▽ STEP-BY-STEP REMOVAL ▽ ★

Peel: Gently lift the nail wraps and peel them off like a sticker!
Oil up: Saturate your cotton ball or pad with an oil product
Clean: Wipe leftover adhesive residue off your nails!

PRO-TIP: Give your nails a 12 to 24 hour break before applying your next Nerd Manicure to let the oils work nourishing magic!

Yes! Proper nail prep is essential for best results:

Clean: Remove any old polish and wash hands thoroughly
Push back cuticles: Gently push back cuticles for a clean application area
File and shape: File nails to your desired length and shape
Buff lightly: Lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine
Wipe clean: Use rubbing alcohol or nail dehydrator to remove oils

Clean, dry nails = better adhesion and longer-lasting wraps!

For best results, we recommend bare nails. Here's what you need to know:

Base coat only: You can apply over a clear base coat
Avoid colored polish: Colored polish may affect adhesion and appearance
Ensure it's dry: If using base coat, make sure it's completely dry
Clean surface: The surface should be smooth and oil-free

Clean, bare nails provide the best adhesion and longest wear!

Bubbles happen, but they're easy to fix:

Smooth immediately: Use your finger or a cuticle pusher to smooth out bubbles
Work from center out: Start at the cuticle and smooth toward the tip
Apply gentle pressure: Press firmly but don't stretch the wrap
Small pin prick: For stubborn bubbles, make a tiny hole with a pin and smooth out air

Smooth, bubble-free wraps give you professional results!

Absolutely! Customizing the fit is part of the process:

Trim before application: Cut wraps to approximate size before removing backing
Use sharp scissors: Clean cuts prevent fraying
Leave extra length: You can always file down after application
Round the corners: Helps prevent lifting at the edges

Custom fitting ensures the perfect look for your unique nail shape!

The only thing you MUST have to apply our nail wraps is a nail file. The other items listed are bonus elements that will make the application that much smoother and the nail wraps last that much longer:

Nail file (REQUIRED): For trimming excess and shaping
Cuticle pusher (bonus): For smoothing and pushing back cuticles
Scissors (bonus): For pre-trimming wraps
Rubbing alcohol (bonus): For cleaning nails before application
Top coat (bonus): For extra durability and shine

Just a nail file gets you started - everything else is a bonus for even better results!

Unlike other nail wraps, ours don't require any special tools or heat to apply! However, if you want to use gentle heat, you can:

No heat needed: Our wraps adhere perfectly at room temperature
Body heat works: Simply press and hold with your finger for 30 seconds
Optional hair dryer: Use on low heat setting for 10-15 seconds if desired
Avoid excessive heat: Too much heat can damage the wrap material

No special tools required - just peel, stick, and file for perfect results!

Don't panic! Mistakes are fixable:

Reposition quickly: You have a few seconds to adjust placement
Peel and restart: If caught early, carefully peel off and try again
Use a backup: Each set includes extras for this reason
File and smooth: Minor imperfections can often be filed away
Practice makes perfect: Start with your non-dominant hand

Every nail artist started as a beginner - you've got this!

Both! Here's the best approach:

Before application: File nails to desired length and shape
After application: File away excess wrap material
Final shaping: Fine-tune the shape after wraps are applied
One direction only: Always file in one direction to prevent splitting
Smooth edges: Make sure all edges are smooth and sealed

Proper filing before and after ensures perfect results!

Yes, but with extra care:

Clean thoroughly: Make sure nails are completely clean and dry
Be extra gentle: Apply with minimal pressure to avoid further damage
Shorter wear time: Remove sooner if you notice any issues
Moisturize regularly: Keep cuticles and nail beds hydrated
Consider a break: Give nails time to recover between applications

Wraps can actually protect weak nails while they recover!

Prevention is key to bubble-free application:

Start at cuticle: Begin application at the cuticle line
Work slowly: Apply gradually, smoothing as you go
Use firm pressure: Press down firmly but don't stretch the wrap
Smooth from center out: Work from the middle toward the edges
Remove air as you go: Don't wait until the end to smooth out bubbles

Slow and steady application prevents most bubble issues!

2 Durability & Care

With proper application and care, our wraps last 7-14 days!

Longevity depends on:

Your nail preparation and application technique
Daily activities and hand usage
Whether you use a top coat (highly recommended!)
Your natural nail growth rate
How well you care for them after application

Pro tip: Use a quality top coat and reapply every few days for maximum durability!

Absolutely!

We highly recommend using a top coat for:

Extended wear: Adds extra protection and longevity
Enhanced shine: Gives a professional, glossy finish
Chip resistance: Helps prevent lifting at the edges
Smooth finish: Evens out any texture from the wrap edges

Apply after wraps are set, reapply every 2-3 days!

Follow these tips for maximum longevity:

Proper prep: Clean, dry nails are essential
Use a top coat: Apply immediately and refresh every 2-3 days
Avoid harsh chemicals: Wear gloves when cleaning or doing dishes
Be gentle: Don't use your nails as tools
Moisturize: Keep cuticles and hands hydrated
File don't peel: If edges lift, file them down rather than picking

With proper care, get the full 14 days of gorgeous wear!

Yes! Our wraps are water-resistant:

Shower normally: Regular showering won't damage the wraps
Swimming is fine: Both pool and ocean water are okay
Dry thoroughly: Pat dry after water exposure
Avoid prolonged soaking: Extended time in hot tubs may affect adhesion
Reapply top coat: After swimming, refresh your top coat for best results

Water-resistant design means your manicure survives your lifestyle!

Don't panic! Lifting can usually be fixed:

File it down: Gently file the lifted edge to smooth it out
Apply pressure: Press down firmly and hold for 30 seconds
Add heat: Use a hair dryer on low heat to reactivate adhesive
Top coat seal: Apply top coat over the area to seal edges
Don't pick: Picking will make it worse and damage your natural nail

Quick action can save your manicure and extend wear time!

Absolutely! Just take some precautions:

Wear gloves: Especially when cleaning or doing dishes
Use tools: Don't use your nails to scrape or pry things
Be gentle: Avoid excessive force or harsh chemicals
Moisturize after: Keep hands and cuticles hydrated
Check for damage: Inspect wraps after heavy-duty tasks

Smart habits keep your wraps looking fresh while you tackle daily tasks!
