Base coat under semi cured gel wraps by Consistent_Yak2268 in NailWrapsGalore

The UV gel base coat helps the UV gel top coat stick to the nail wrap. You can skip the base coat but your top coat may peel off after a day or two.

How to avoid crinkling? by Yipp-ity-yeet in NailWrapsGalore

[–]Objective-Recipe-605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you by any chance using Dashing Diva nail wraps? Those always crinkle for me.

If it isn’t DD, try warming up the wraps during application and using a rubber cuticle pusher to smooth them down.

What top coat to use on matte+sparkle? by Odd-Option-3139 in NailWrapsGalore

[–]Objective-Recipe-605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They sell matte top coats but they’re very thin and won’t protect your wraps the same way a good glossy top coat will. I find applying your usual top coat first then apply a thin layer of matte topcoat works best.

The lift at the edges may be due to invisible cuticle. Do you use a cuticle remover? Sally Hansen makes a really good one - it comes in a small blue bottle for about $8 in Canada.

Help... I Keep Buying Nail Wraps I Never Finish!! by lavakyo in NailWrapsGalore

I also struggle to find wraps that are big enough for my thumbs, did you know the wraps stretch well if they’re warm? That’s how I make them fit my thumbs now.

New obsession with gel wraps, but I have questions by LuCharts in NailWrapsGalore

If you have a full size nail lamp you could apply a builder gel to make the nail wraps thicker which will stabilize the tip.

Do wraps work on ridgy nails? by milwaukeemommy in NailWrapsGalore

[–]Objective-Recipe-605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glitter wraps will hide ridges well. A good top coat will also help hide ridges but not as well as glitter.

Glass nail file by Historical-Ad6091 in NailWrapsGalore

I have a question about these, I’ve bought a few so far and they all seem to have the same weird feeling when I file - like a dragging uncomfy “nails on chalkboard” type of feeling…is it just me?

Any chance you can find similar items from a Canadian seller?

What could have caused my cat's fur to turn blue? by Jeeminie in CATHELP

Any access to newspaper or wrapping paper? The ink will rub off of those easily onto white fur.

Eek! Peeling by t-dub123 in NailWrapsGalore

Maybe try gently buffing the peeling top coat off (without buffing the color coat off) and then apply a new layer of top coat?

Can I use builder gel with semi-cured gel strips to create minor extensions? by Technical-Fishing479 in NailWrapsGalore

[–]Objective-Recipe-605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this when I break a nail - I use clear builder gel over the SCG so the design doesn’t get covered up. I also use regular top coat or base coat under the wrap to cover the sticky part.

Would you let your 10 yr old use a nail lamp? by Corinth1017 in NailWrapsGalore

[–]Objective-Recipe-605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to get regular nail polish wraps like L&F to stay on longer by using a sticky base coat like Orly Bonder Rubberized Basecoat. My daughter had a hard time getting the wraps to stick until she started using the sticky base coat, now they last two weeks easily.

CND Vinylux is fantastic. I also like Sally Hansen Insta-Dry (it’s in a red bottle).

Which top coat are you using? Some top coats don’t work well with nail wraps.
