Does any of this sound familiar?
You love having your nails done, but...
- Your nails feel weak or damaged from past manicures.
- Time is tight and salon appointments don’t always fit.
- Removal is a nightmare—pay to take them off or peel and regret.
- Salon prices add up.
- Freshly painted polish chips or smudges within hours.
- You want more colour flexibility and fun designs you can swap on a whim.

FAQ

Nope. They’re genuinely beginner-friendly. In our families, a 7-year-old (with help), our 12-year-old niece, and our 76-year-old granny have all done them. Be fearless. The first time is a learning curve; after a couple of goes you’ll feel like a pro.
-
First time: allow ~30 minutes while you learn sizing and filing.
3-Day (Play): once you’ve done it a few times, 10–15 min (we’ve done them on trains).
10-Day (Stay): typically 15–20 min once you’re used to it.
14-Day UV (Power): about 20–25 min, including a quick 60-second cure per hand.
Tip: the better your prep, the faster the rest goes. -
Used correctly, wraps are a gentler option. Prep lightly and remove with the oil-based Remover Pen—no harsh scraping or long acetone soaks resulting in healthier, stronger nails.
-
Only for 14-Day UV. 3-Day and 10-Day are UV-free.
-
10-Day and 14-Day UV give the most gel-like look; 14-Day UV cures to the highest gloss. 3+Day looks like polished nails—sleek and flexible. Add our top coat to the 3+Days to make them more shiny and glossy and they will last at least a week!
-
We advise adding a top coat to the 3+Days to make them extra shiny and last at least a week. But it is optional. Not required on 10 and 14-Day Wraps.
-
Each set includes multiple widths so you can match your natural nail. Choose a size that doesn’t touch skin or cuticle (slightly smaller is better). If needed, you can trim the sides with small scissors for a custom fit. It’s very rare that someone can’t find a match.
-
This is one of the best bits! We recommend using our Wrap Remover Pen which is filled with 100% pure almond oil - designed to provide extra care and nourishment for your nails.
Twist the Remover Pen to release oil, work it around the edges, gently lift with a cuticle stick, and slide the pen under, from side to side until the wrap lifts off. You'll have them off in 5 mins!
And if you don't have the pen, no stress, any kind of oil, such as coconut, olive, baby oil can be used. Simply soak a cotton bud in the oil and apply round the nail edge and then gently lift the wrap using the cuticle stick from your Prep Kit.
-
Yes. We've had customers message us who have been on holidays, in the sea, kite-surfing and in the sauna who couldn't believe how well they lasted!
For best results, avoid hot water for ~1 hour after application so the adhesive fully sets. After a 60-second cure, 14-Day UV is good to go.

Common fixes:
- Prep is really key: push back cuticles, dehydrate the nail (no oils/creams), remove dust/grime/previous gel.
- Size is critical: pick a wrap slightly smaller than your nail so it doesn’t touch skin.
- Seal: press edges firmly; file downward in one direction.
- Set: keep hands out of hot water for ~1 hour after application
- Prep is really key: push back cuticles, dehydrate the nail (no oils/creams), remove dust/grime/previous gel.
