How long do the nail wraps last?
The durability can vary depending on your nail structure, the base & top coat you use, and your daily routines.
With proper application, our nail wraps typically stay on for 7 to 10 days.
If you have naturally smooth/glossy/oily nail surface, buffing your nail surface before application will help the nail wraps adhere better.
If you intend to wear them beyond 10 days, do apply a layer of base coat to protect your nail from moisture seeping under the nail wrap over time.
Will it fit my nail shape well?
Each pack comes with 16 nail strips of various sizes to ensure that it will fit any nail size.
The nail wraps can also be trimmed easily on the sides for narrow nails.
Are your nail wraps reusable?
They are not. Our nail wraps are designed for one-time use.
If you'd like to get more wear-time, try adding a coat of our Peel Off Gel Top Coat!
How do I maximise each pack?
If you keep your nails short, you can cut the nail wraps into half and use one strip for 2 nails!
For the nail wraps that are too wide, you can trim the width too. Tip: Use the size you want as a template when trimming the width.
Unleash your creativity - mix and match the leftovers!
How long do your nail wraps last once opened?
Upon opening the sealed package, apply the nail wraps immediately.

I have trouble filing my nails, or my nails are too short to file. Help!
You can use a nail clipper to trim any excess length.
This can be easier than filing for those with shorter nails.
Smooth the nail wraps before and after trimming.

You can achieve salon-worthy manicure with NAILWRAP.CO in under 15 minutes!

Practice makes perfect!
It gets easier each time!
Do I have to use a base coat?
It is not mandatory, however, using a base coat offers a layer of protection between your nails and the nail wrap.
If you have naturally oily or uneven nail surface, a layer of base coat can help the nail wraps adhere better to your nails.
We find that there is no difference as to which base coat you use.
If you intend to wear them beyond 10 days, do apply a layer of base coat to protect your nail from moisture seeping under the nail wrap over time.
Can I apply one nail wrap over another nail wrap?
Yes!
Our nail wraps are typically applied to bare nails but it can also be applied over shellac, acrylic, gel or nail wraps.
We have a range of transparent overlay nail wraps that are great for layering!
Can I shower right after application?
We recommend applying the nail wraps after your shower as the nail wrap takes time to fully adhere to your nails.
REMOVAL FAQs
How do I remove the wraps?
Simply soak your fingers in warm water for 8-10 minutes and gently peel off the nail wraps.
Once the nail wraps have been removed, wash your hands with soap.
TIPS & TRICKS
1. Always start with clean dry hands. Any oil or moisturisers may affect the results of the application.
2. Buff your nail. If you have naturally smooth, glossy or waxy nails, buffing your nail surface gives the nail wraps a better grip, allowing it to stay on longer.
3. Apply base coat. If you intend to wear the nail wraps beyond 10 days, a base coat offers a layer of protection between your nails and the nail wrap.
4. Avoid touching your skin and cuticle. Apply the nail wraps slightly above your cuticle line. Do not overlap on your cuticle or skin. Placing it on your cuticle or skin will cause the corners to flip up easily.
5. File downwards and in one direction only. Filing in any other direction may cause the nail wraps to lift and air bubbles may occur.
6. Apply top coat. Remember to 'cap' the tip of your nails to seal it for a longer lasting finish. *Some top coats may not be compatible with our nail wraps and may cause shrinkage.
7. Avoid water for a few hours. We recommend applying the nail wraps after shower as it takes time to fully adhere to your nails.
8. Maximise each pack by cutting the nail wraps into half. If you keep your nails short, you can cut the nail wraps into half and use one strip for 2 nails!
