How do I apply nail wraps correctly for long-lasting results?

To make your nail wraps last longer and look flawless, it’s important to follow a few simple steps.

First, choose the correct size wrap for each nail. It should be slightly smaller than your natural nail bed.

This helps avoid touching the skin or cuticles, which can cause the edges to lift or peel too soon.

Next, make sure your nails are clean and dry. Use a nail cleanser or alcohol on a cotton pad to remove residue.

This step ensures better adhesion, helping the wrap stick properly and stay in place longer.

After applying the wrap, press it down firmly and smooth out any bubbles. Focus especially on the edges of your nail.

Be gentle but thorough. A clean seal at the edges will reduce lifting and make your wraps last longer.

Most importantly, finish with a clear top coat. This adds shine and helps secure the wrap for extended wear.

For best results, reapply the top coat every few days. This keeps your wraps fresh, glossy, and salon-perfect.

In summary: prep well, apply carefully, and always seal with top coat. These three steps are key for perfect nail wraps.

Do I need anything special to use gel nail polish?

Yes! Gel nail polish must be cured under a UV or LED lamp to set properly. Without this step, the polish simply won’t dry or last. Therefore, we strongly recommend using a base coat, followed by one to two layers of gel polish, and finally a top coat — curing each layer under the lamp for at least 60 seconds.

In addition, using a curing lamp helps the polish bond better to your nails, making the manicure last longer and preventing premature chipping. For this reason, we suggest beginner-friendly lamps and gel kits, which you can easily find on our website.

In short, if you’re planning to use gel polish, a curing lamp is absolutely essential for long-lasting results.

What makes gel polish different, and how do I apply it correctly?

Gel polish is loved for its long-lasting, high-shine finish that stays chip-free for up to three weeks. It’s perfect if you want salon-quality nails at home without the frequent touch-ups.

Unlike regular polish, gel formulas need to be cured under a UV or LED lamp. This process hardens the gel and locks it in place. As a result, you get stronger wear and that signature glossy finish.

To get the best results, start with clean, prepped nails. Apply a thin base coat to protect your nails and improve adhesion.

Next, apply the gel color in thin, even layers. Cure each layer under a UV or LED lamp for 30 to 60 seconds. Avoid touching the skin or cuticle area, as this can cause lifting.

Then, apply a gel top coat to seal the color and add extra shine. This final step is essential for durability.

For even longer wear, gently buff the surface of your nails before starting. Also, avoid soaking your hands in water right after application.

In short: clean nails, thin layers, proper curing, and a glossy top coat make all the difference.
