HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT CAN HELP YOU SIZE YOUR GEL NAIL WRAPS CORRECTLY
- Hover the gel nail wraps over your actual nails
Before removing and peeling the gel nail wraps, hover the gel nail wrap over your nails to give you an indication of best fit. A useful tip is to cut the wraps off the strip (without peeling them) so you can place over your actual nail to give you a good indication of fit. By doing this, you also wont affect the stickiness of the semi cured-gel nail wrap whilst trying to find the perfect size.
Some semi cured gel nail wraps will fit your nail perfectly without any cutting, trimming or stretching needed however others may need a slight tweak or two. This next tip should help you… - Measure Twice, Cut Once:
Before applying your gel nail wrap, it’s crucial to measure your nails accurately. Use a measuring tape or a nail sizing guide to determine the width and length of each nail. Remember, it’s better to trim the gel nail wrap slightly than to have it extend beyond your nail bed. - Customization is Key:
If you find that the pre-cut gel nail wraps don’t fit your nails perfectly, don’t fret! You can always customize them to suit your nail shape. Simply trim the edges of the gel nail wrap to match the contours of your nails for a seamless application. - Mind the Cuticles:
When sizing your gel nail wrap, be mindful of your cuticles. Ensure that the wrap doesn’t overlap onto your cuticles, as this can cause lifting and premature chipping. Leave a small gap between the gel nail wrap and your cuticles for a professional-looking finish. - Shape Matters:
Different nail shapes require different sizing techniques. For square or squoval nails, opt for gel nail wraps that match the width of your nail bed. If you have almond or stiletto-shaped nails, consider trimming the gel nail wraps into a more tapered shape to achieve a snug fit. - Our Gel Nail Wraps are flexible:
Our gel nail wraps are flexible and so this allows you to also stretch the gel nail wrap to allow a better fit. If you think the gel nail wraps are too big for your nails, you can pull the gel nail wrap to make it longer and thereby thinner. Same if you feel the gel nail wrap is too small, you can stretch it out to make it bigger! - Practice Makes Perfect:
Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get the sizing right on your first try. Like any skill, sizing gel nail wraps correctly takes practice. Experiment with different techniques and tools until you find what works best for your nails.
With a bit of patience and attention to detail, you’ll be able to achieve a stunning and long-lasting gel nail wrap manicure every time. Happy sizing!
