How to apply Gel Nail Wraps

Our easy-to-follow instructions will guide you every step of the way. From prepping to perfecting, here’s how to apply your wraps within minutes!

tips & tricks

Watch our video instructions!! It may sound obvious but results from a recent study show that 96.7% of ladies who followed our exact instructions had a full extra week of wear from their wraps.

The shine & oils on your nail plate are the exact thing which stops the gel wraps from gripping and lasting long.

Following correct prep ensures that the longevity of the gel wraps.

When trimming and filing the wrap the length of the wrap must be EXACTLY the same length as the nail plate, 1mm too long or short will result in lifting.

Applying your wraps before bed ensures the highest success rate as this allows the adhesion to properly activate.

step by step guide

STEP 1: PREP YOUR NAILS

Ideally apply right before bed, this allows the adhesive to fully bond during the night.

Wash hands, dry thoroughly, and wait 10 minutes before starting.

Gently push back cuticles using the cuticle stick provided.

Lightly buff nail plate until the shine is gone with the nail file.

Wipe each nail with the prep wipe.

Optional: Apply primer after. Do not touch your nails after this step.

STEP 2: FIT

If you're in between sizes, always choose the slightly smaller one for the most natural look. The wraps can be stretched to fit your nail size. The wrap should not touch skin or cuticles, skin oils cause lifting.

STEP 3: WARM UP, PEEL & PRESS

Warm the full sheet with a hair dryer for 10 seconds from above. Re-do for every wrap. Heat activates the adhesion.

Apply 1mm away from the cuticle, starting in the centre and pressing outward.

Press and rub firmly back & forth for 15 seconds. Pressure+ friction activates the adhesive for maximum grip.

STEP 4: SHAPE & FILE

Trim away excess wrap with nail scissors or clippers then rub the wrap around the free-edge of your nail.

Use the file to shape the wrap to the nail edge, filing gently in only one direction downwards to prevent lifting.

Heat up gel wrap on your nail with the hair dryer for 10 seconds, then press & rub firmly again for 15 seconds to lock in adhesion.

STEP 5: AFTERCARE

For the first 2-3 hours after application: Avoid water and heavy hand use. Do not shower, clean, or wash dishes. Avoid oils at all times. The adhesive continues to bond for hours after application. Keeping nails dry allows it to fully set, preventing early lifting.
