You saw the cute nail wraps, got excited, and stuck them on... only to find them lifting, peeling, or bubbling the next day. 😭
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Here are 5 tiny mistakes that can totally mess up your nail game—and how to fix them like a pro. 👇
❌ 1. You didn’t clean your nails (oops!)
Oil, lotion, or leftover polish will make your wraps slip right off.
✔️ Tip: Wash your hands, then wipe your nails with alcohol or nail prep pads before you start.
❌ 2. The sticker is too big
If the wrap touches your skin or cuticle, it’ll start peeling in no time.
✔️ Tip: Always size before you apply. The sticker should sit just inside your nail edge.
❌ 3. You didn’t press it down enough
Bubbles or weird ridges? It’s probably not sticking evenly.
✔️ Tip: Press from the center out with your finger or a silicone stick. Smooth is key!
❌ 4. You skipped the UV light (or cooked it too long!)
Our wraps are made with real gel polish—they need just the right amount of curing.
✔️ Tip: Cure under a UV lamp for 60–90 seconds. Too little = sticky. Too much = crackly.
❌ 5. You didn’t store them properly 😥
Even if you apply them perfectly, leaving unused wraps out in the open can ruin them—sunlight has UV too!
✔️ Tip: Always store your leftover wraps in a dark, sealed bag (we recommend the original black pouch!).
That way, they stay fresh, sticky, and ready for your next mani moment. 🌙✨
