Nail Wraps

Introduction : Nail wraps are thin, adhesive materials made from various fabrics such as silk, fiberglass, or
linen. They are designed to strengthen natural nails, providing additional support and protection. Nail wraps
are commonly used to repair damaged nails, prevent further breakage, and create a smooth surface for nail
extensions or nail polish.

Requirements

Tools/Materials

• Nail wrap Adhesive or Glue • nail file
• Scissors or nail clippers • UV or LED lamp
• Cuticle Pusher or Orange Stick

Types of Nail Wraps
1 Silk Wrap: Made of silk fabric, these wraps are light and flexible. These are often used to repair and
strengthen natural nails.
2 Fiberglass Wrap: Fiberglass wraps are thin and durable, providing a strong layer of reinforcement for
weak or damaged nails. They are popular for their natural appearance.
3 Linen Wrap: Linen wraps are thicker and more textured than silk or fiberglass wraps. They are suitable for
individuals looking for a stronger option.

4 Wrap Paper: Some nail wraps are made from paper materials. While less common than fabric wrap, paper
wrap can be used for unique nail art designs.

Procedure for applying nail wrap

1 Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any existing nail polish and shape the nails as desired.
2 Wrap Cutting: Cut the nail wraps to the desired length and shape, making sure they fit snugly over the
natural nails.
