There are few things that make us feel more put together than a sleek manicure. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to make it to the salon or to justify the expense for a nail refresh – that’s where nail wraps come in! These stretchy stickers come in solid and elaborate designs that are safe for the nails and are fast and easy to apply. So, what are nail wraps good for? They’re a fast, fashionable, and budget-friendly manicure alternative for the nail-conscious girl-on-the-go. Read on to see why nail wraps are hands down our DIY manicure method of choice.
What Are The Benefits of Nail Wraps?
There are many benefits of nail wraps but two of the biggest are ease and convenience. Nail wraps take just 10-15 minutes to apply and because they don’t create any mess, they can be done almost anywhere. Nail wraps give you access to easy nail art and put you in creative control of your manicure with your imagination being the only limit. You can mix and match wrap sets for different looks while maintaining the same professional look and quality.
Nail wraps are durable and can last up to 14 days (saving you money and a trip to the nail salon). Do nail wraps damage your nails? Nope – they can actually help strengthen weak and brittle nails that were damaged from traditional manicures.
Are Nail Wraps Better Than Nail Polish?
Nail wraps mimic a professional manicure without any of the pitfalls that come with nail polish. If you’re a DIY mani kinda gal, nail wraps don’t create any mess, there’s no dry time, and they can last up to 14 days with no chipping! It’s also easier to create more complicated nail looks at home without worrying about a nail art failure. The main reason nail wraps trump nail polish is there’s no damage done to the nail with wrap removal like there is with gel polish.
Are Nail Wraps Better Than Acrylic Nails?
Nail wraps create the same professional, polished look that acrylic nails are known for, but are a safer, more efficient choice. Not only are the stickers softer and more bendable than acrylic nails, but they’re also healthier for the nail overall – especially during removal. Acrylic nails should only be applied and removed by trained technicians so for an at-home manicure, nail wraps are the better choice.
