3 Applying Adhesive: Apply a thin layer of nail glue or adhesive to the natural nail. Ensure even coverage
covering the entire nail surface.
4 Applying Nail Wrap: Carefully place the cut nail wrap onto the nail, starting at the base and smoothing it
out to adhere to the glue. Use a cuticle pusher or orange stick to press the wrap into place and eliminate
any air bubbles.
5 Extra Trimming: Once the wrap is in place, cut away any excess material using scissors or nail clippers.
This helps in creating a neat and clean appearance.
6 Overlay Application (optional): Alternatively, apply an additional layer of nail glue or resin over the nail
wrap to create a protective overlay. This overlay adds extra strength and durability.
7 Treatment (optional): Depending on the type of adhesive used, some nail wraps may require curing under
a UV or LED lamp for a specific period of time to ensure proper adhesion and hardening.
8 Shaping: Use a nail file to shape and smooth the wrapped nail to the desired length and contour.
9 Maintenance: Nail wraps generally require less maintenance than some other artificial nail enhancements.
If any covering becomes damaged or lifted, repair or replacement should be done immediately to maintain
the strength of the nail.
Removal
1 Soak in Acetone: To remove nail wraps, soak nails in acetone-based nail polish remover. It helps dissolve
the adhesive.
2 Peel or lift gently: Once the adhesive has softened, gently peel or lift the nail wrap away from the natural
nail. Avoid forceful removal to prevent damage.

3 Buff Residue: Use a nail buffer to gently remove any remaining adhesive or residue from the natural nail.
