Imagination In Colour UK Nail Polish Blog
Hey everyone 🙂 I have some really funky wraps to show you today! I have to pre-warn you; I have never quite got the hang of wraps but I am really starting to enjoy wearing them. Especially at the end of a 14hr working day, the last thing I want to do is paint my nails (hello… sleep!!!) so it’s a lot easier just to pop on some nail wraps and your nails will still look fab the next day – no dry time, no sheet marks… yay!
Elegant Touch are really developing their wrap designs, the styles lately seem to follow fashion trends too so if you’re fashion savvy, these are for you! I always love leopard print nails – I never wear leopard print on my clothes… it just seems a bit much for my eyes, but I like the delicacy of them on nails. The nice thing about these wraps is there’s a bit more detail involved than you can achieve easily with handpainted nail art so you can get quick easy nail art with no hassle!
Application:
These pretties are already sticky, so all you need to do is choose a size (I always find you need a size that looks a bit wider than the corresponding nail, especially if your nails are quite curved like mine). Next you peel it off, position it, lay it gently on top of the nail and then press firmly down from the middle outwards. Try not to get any creases in the wrap – if you do try to smooth them out. These will weaken the wrap as they let in water etc. Finally you need to use a nail file at 90 degrees to the nail and file downwards (one direction only!) until the end of the wrap falls off. And voila, there is your wrapped-up nail!
Wear:
I feel like my slightly-shoddy application weakened my wraps (as did my frequent hand-washing that day) so mine didn’t last more than a couple of days, however, I feel like if you took a bit more care than I did you could get quite a few days out of these. The sticky is really quite strong so they don’t go anywhere fast!
Overall I love these, they are perfect for a casual week or even a party. Cheap nails that are just SO QUICK AND EASY! 🙂 What do you think?
Elegant Touch Envy Wraps are just £5 each (much less than you’d pay in a salon) and are available in Boots, Superdrug, Amazon and Elegant Touch.
