How to Apply Nail Wraps

For nail art lovers, standard nail polish just doesn’t cut it – which is why ManicureFX are such a welcome addition to the nail game. Not only do they offer an endless array of designs and patterns, but they can also add texture, dimension, and fun flair to any nail look! So what are Nail Wraps exactly, and how do you use them?

Essentially, Nail Wraps are thin products that contain paper, silk, linen, fiberglass, or other fabrics that are applied to the nails for extra reinforcement and then encased with resin. Nail wraps can be embedded within acrylic and gel manicures, used as a natural nail overlay, or simply glued to the tips of clients’ natural nails for an added pop of color.

Nail Wraps are available in a variety of styles and sizes, making them an easy way to transform any nails. They’re a love letter to all style lovers, whether they’re a businesswoman who swears by neat, classic designs or a fashion enthusiast who gets excited by vibrant, attention-grabbing patterns.

When applying Nail Wraps, be sure to follow the specific manufacturer’s instructions for the best results. For instance, if you’re using Mani Me wraps, Yankee recommends starting with a base coat (or a clear gel manicure) to ensure your nails are ready for the adhesive.

Then, select your desired wraps, and apply them to your nails starting from the base, working upwards and smoothing out any bubbles as you go. Once your nails are completely covered, gently trim any excess wrap with nail scissors and then cure them under a UV light for the recommended time. To finish off the look, apply a clear topcoat to protect your Nail Wraps and give them an extra shine.
