🧴 Use a Base Coat

A thin layer of base coat protects your natural nails and gives wraps something to grip. Try:

• Nail-Aid Keratin 3 Day Growth

• Orly Bonder Rubberized Basecoat

• Sally Hansen Strengthening Basecoat

• Sally Hansen Repair + Rescue Basecoat

---

✨ Seal with a Top Coat

A top coat adds shine, helps your wraps last longer, and shields them from everyday exposure (like lotion, sanitizer, or sunscreen). Great picks include:

• CND Vinylux Top Coat

• Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat

• Essie Gel Couture Top Coat

• Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat

• Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Top Coat

🔥 Warm Up Your Wraps

Cold wraps can feel stiff and tricky to apply. Warm them slightly for better flexibility:

• Place the sheet on a heating pad during application

• Apply near a space heater

• Give it a quick blast with a hair dryer
  (Don’t overheat—too much heat can change the texture.)

💅 Removal Tips

Always dissolve the adhesive instead of peeling wraps off dry. Here are three tried-and-true methods:

Oil Soak

1. Lift one corner of the wrap

2. Soak nails in warm oil (e.g., coconut oil or olive oil) for a few minutes

3. Gently slide the wrap off with a cuticle pusher 

Nail Polish Remover

1. Lift one corner of the wrap

2. Dip a rubber cuticle pusher in nail polish remover and slide it under the wrap

3. Add more remover as needed
   💡 Recommended: Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover

Remover + Clips

1. Lift a corner and place a remover-soaked cotton ball on the wrap

2. Secure with a nail polish clip

3. Wait 3–5 minutes, then wipe away
   💡 Clips are inexpensive and easy to find online or in beauty stores

🌿 Aftercare

• Wipe away leftover adhesive with 70% isopropyl alcohol

• Wash hands with soap and water

• Finish with moisturizer or cuticle oil
  🚫 Never peel wraps straight off—it can damage your nails
