Nail Wrap Newbie? Here's Everything You Need!

We're soooo grateful for nail wraps—honestly, who knew saving time and money could look this good? Gone are the days of spending hours at the salon and hundreds of rands on manicures. Now, you can get flawless nails in a fraction of the time, all from the comfort of your own home.

But we get it. Getting started with nail wrap tools might feel like picking up a paintbrush when you've never painted. No need to stress, though—we're here to guide you everystep of the way. It begins with the right DIY nail wraps starter kit to set you up for success. Before you know it, you'll be creating your very first masterpiece.

Everything You Need To Nail Your First Nail Wrap

Choosing between a DIY manicure and a salon sesh? It’s like picking between a cosy night in or a glam night out—both have their perks! Let’s break it down and see which one’s the true nail MVP.

Nail Prep Pads

Before you consider applying a nail wrap, repeat after us: prep is everything! Use alcohol pads or acetone-soaked cotton wool to remove oils, residue, or dirt from your nails. Nail wraps will stick firmly and stay put on clean nails.

Glass Nail Files

Now that your nails are all prepped, it's time to shape them up! We recommend using glass nail files—they're super gentle on your nails, so no worries about over-filing or making them brittle. They're also eco-friendly and durable, so you'll be set for the long haul! One glass nail file can last a couple of years. A total win for your nails and the planet. Whether you prefer a square or oval nail shape, these files will help you get that perfect finish.

Glass Cuticle Pushers

Next up, let's talk cuticles! Like nail files, a glass cuticle pusher is a game changer. It's gentle on your nail bed, so you can push back cuticles without worrying about damage. And like glass nail files, they are made to last, giving your nails that clean, professional finish every time.

Nail Wraps

Now for the fun part—choosing your nail wraps! This is where you get to let your personality and style shine through. Mixing and matching is a blast, but we recommend sticking with one brand to keep things consistent—like quality, curing time, and removal procedures. That's why you'll want to go with a brand that offers many fun designs to choose from...ehem like ours!

Application Stick

Getting your wraps on perfectly is all about the details. A well-applied nail wrap edge prevents lifting and gives you that professional look. A glass cuticle pusher is perfect for pressing down the nail wraps to ensure that long-lasting look.

UV Light for Curing

Once your wraps are in place, it's time to cure them. A great UV lamp ensures your wraps can last up to three weeks—about the same amount of time it takes you to reply to that urgent email you've been avoiding. No judgement here; we're just here to keep your nails flawless while you sort out your inbox!

A bonus UV solution is the rubber-tipped UV torch. Using this genius tool to press down each nail wrap for 60 seconds before curing helps to further prevent the edges from lifting.

Top Coat

Seal the deal with a top coat for that extra shine. This step is optional and can be skipped if you are not used to painting your nails. The top coat adds a gorgeous shine, keeping your nail wraps fresh and vibrant.

Almond Oil

Once you are ready for your next set, the almond oil and glass cuticle pusher gently remove each nail wrap. This process is gentle on your nail beds, leaving your cuticles feeling soft and refreshed.

Pro tip: If you're starting with fragile nail beds, move the cuticle pusher from the top of your nail to the base of your nail. This will prevent small pieces of nails from lifting with the nail wrap.

Nail Tools Storage Case

And last but definitely not least, you need a cute home for your tools and wraps. Because let's be honest, an organised girlie is a happy girlie! No more digging through drawers or losing your new nail wraps. Just a pretty case to keep all your nail goodies protected and organised.
