I’ve been using wraps for awhile. A good thing to pass on if the wrap has the same design and your nails are sporty short you can actually do 2 nails with 1 wrap! Just a tip so mostly you can get 2 manis with one set of wraps. I’ve even done my toes with extras.

Temu are great. I bought them from there. Very cheap but great!

This sounds like a lot of fun I just ordered a load of nail wraps from Lily and Fox! I have or should I say I found an old package of nail wraps and I don’t know how old these things that are 20 years old maybe??? I was going to use them and never did never got around to it. They’re really thick and bulky and hard to bend now!😂 Another tip, after you’ve applied your nail wrap and filed the edge and then wiped everything off nice and clean, seal it in with a gel topcoat and be sure to cap the fridge and put your nail wrap under the UV light for a few minutes for the topcoat to cure. No more chipping!! And also, you can add gemstones beads glitter, all kinds of things to your nail wraps, all they are is polish, a few layers of polish with the sticky little backing! 👍 Thank you so much for this tutorial, Very, very helpful😊

I love Lily and Fox! I don’t and won’t polish my nails. Just too much time and money to get done at a salon but wraps are easy cheap and fun. Plus Lily and Fox are non toxic compared to other brands

I am a dog groomer and ordered some for a client that always wants her dogs nails painted. I'm excited to try it out.

You know that doesn't sound normal right?

Must say Lily and Fox is a phenomenal company. Beautiful designs, quick shipping, price point incredible.

I have tried other nail polish strips and I love them. Will never go back to painting my nails ever or the nail salon. The colors, prints and quality is wonderful for only a fraction of the cost. I just received my first order from Lily and Fox. The presentation was beautiful it had hand written note a little oragami Fox I was blown away! There prices are the best.

I love the nail polish strips! They last for weeks and you can remove them with nail polish remover. I have a busy 7 year old....I'll never go back to regular nail polish. I love them.

The best things they made are these nail strips. I love them.

Okay 👍 ordered some tonight.. tried them tonight and I love them. Still need some practice but I think this is exactly what I needed. Easy was to take pride in being girly with less fuss!!! Thanks so much for the video!

Thanks Melissa. My daughter gave me some and now I know what to do!

First time trying, because I haven’t had the time. I watched your video AFTER I did my nails, and this is definitely a trial and error process. I didn’t do the coat before putting the wraps on, but DID afterwards, and dried by using the hairdryer. Thank you for the info !

I'm a convert too! I LOVE THEM! They literally peel off from the cuticle up with zero acetone.

Thank you for this video! I just now bought some Lily & Fox nail wraps online in a sale. I didn’t even know these existed but this seems so much easier than dealing with wet nail polish. I can’t do gel or other applications that ruin my nails, so I’m looking forward to trying these.

Hi Melissa, just want to say thanks for this video. I’m all the way over in Australia but I found the Lily and fox and placed an order. I will never go back to normal nail polish , I’m on my 4th set of nail strips and they are fantastic , so easy and quick. Thanks once again for introducing me to this product 👍🏻

Thank You Melissa 😍 this is the second time I hear good things regarding these nails. I’m getting curious 🤨🤷🏼‍♀️

I love nail polish strips! I tend to find some at the dollar store that usually work just fine. Definitely easy and love not waiting for drying. I will save the part that I cut off by putting it back on the sheet and use it for a pedicure. 😃

Oh that is a smart idea - and then do you just paint your big toe?

I have been using nail strips all summer, and I tried to paint my nails the other day, and I was surprised at what a pain in the butt it was lol. I put a set on every Sunday and on Friday evening I take them off and let my nails kind of hang out. I do put ridge filler underneath the nail sticker, because I feel like it’s rough texture helps hold the sticker better. And then I use a topcoat over the strip

Great video Melissa! Could you give us an update - are you still using nail wraps or went back to regular polish?

I started using nail strips and I love not having to wait for them to dry.

Nevermind the wraps; lets see that Diamond!!! 🎉

I use Color Street nail polish strips. I have been using them for almost 2 years. When you open the Color Street they actually smell like nail polish. Super easy to use and they have the base coat, color, and top coat all in one strip.

I have never been steady enough to get a smooth, detailed result with traditional polish, especially with my non-dominant hand. I would also have trouble with streaks. When I have purchased traditional nail polish, even if I try to use it often, the polish dries out or becomes too "clump-y" to use, wasting the remainder of the product. These take care of all that for me. Really nice product that is very reasonably priced.

will definitely try these

So, I have Jamberry strips and I have also tried others at JCPenney and I think Walgreens. I like them, but I went back to traditional again because it's therapeutic to paint your nails. Bottom line, I like both.

This was helpful! Just placed my first order and am excited to try them. Do I need to wear gloves to wash dishes with them?

I've been using ColorStreet nail strips. I LOVE them. They don't require base, and top coat at all. I've been wearing the set I have on for 10 days now and they still look amazing. I'm still not about to toss out my regular polish though, I spent so much money on all those bottles.

I don't know if I just have high nails but I seem to get a kind of 'pinch point' at the middle of the tip of the nail where the nail is the wrong shape for even coverage. How do I get rid of that? Happens with all the stick on tips/wraps/gels/full cover soft gel nails.

Thanks for this, I tried nail wraps recently, they are not readily available in the UK so I purchased some from Amazon. I liked them but since using twice my nails have been quite dry and brittle . Next time I will use a base coat first and see if that helps. 😊

How do you stop them from being sticky at the end of your nail tips? I’ve used UV and nail file..

I've been using wraps for about 2 years. Initially, it stopped the peeling nails I'd had forever. However, lately, my basecoat has been coming off during removal with oil, and with it, the top layer of my nails. I'm now using cuticle oil in between Manis. Any suggestions how I can build up the peeled part of the nail before applying wraps, so the wrap will not show the different thickness of the nail?

I've been watching you for years! And i had no idea you had a second channel! you should try holo taco peely base coat and cuticle pushers! She's a canadian online business too! Also watch simplynailogical's video about keeping your nails healthy and long

Melissa can you please make a video on how to clean and disinfect a pack n play? I’ve received many hands me downs from my sister but out of all of them, the pack n play has been the most difficult to figure out how to clean.

Can you use nail wraps on acrylic nails?

And how long do they last? In general? I am thinking of trying these, I am so over going to nail salons!

I have been doing dip gel polish and my nails are very fine and was wondering if this strengthens your nails or not and does the top coat help strengtytgem

Nailwraps can help your nails grow. However; there are a lot of wonderful nail strengtheners out on the market. Nail Aid has a few that I like. Also massaging cuticle oil or coconut oil can help stimulate nail growth as well They can help with peeling and brittleness. The topcoat really just keeps the tips from getting damaged on the Nailwraps. I prefer UV gel topcoats like Beetles and Drizzle. They keep Nailwraps super shiny and add long wear time; and well if you have thinner nails a little extra strength. Amazon has both kinds available for relatively inexpensive. As for Nailwraps there are tons of sellers out there and thousands of designs. 💙

I bought a few lily and fox packs but they're so small and don't fit my nails. Only the 2 largest fit my middle and ring fingers, but my thumb and other fingers don't fit with any of the other sizes provided..and I don't have particularly large fingers lol Such a shame 😞

How do you fix nail whit bubbly stuff from glue if you put and reapply

Would you please mention where you shop your clothes at..

I've used Color Street and love them so I thought I'd give the Lily brand a try

New to wraps and there is no way I would go back to polish or even gel due to the led/uv. With wraps there is no horrid smell and so many patterns to try, haven’t tried removing yet.

Be careful with topcoat. Some strips will bubble if a topcoat is added.

Why do some nail strips bubble up?

You can get some super cheap on amazon

What if they don't have your nail size

My nails are in really bad shape after wearing tips for years. What can I use or do to my nails to protect them and let them grow? Clear coat product from the store don’t work. Not sure what to ask nail tech for. I won’t ever do the tips again!!!

Looks like it’s more trouble than painting your nails with polish. Really!😐

You can buy nailpolish thinner. Orly sells one that's good. But other brands also sell it. Good nailpolish thinner. You can just drop some in the bottle and shake or role the polish and it's like new again. From time to time I also clean the top of my bottles with some acetone so the lid closes better. Because the dried op polish on the top of the bottle makes it so the lid won't close.

I have like 20, maybe more, mail polish and never had that problem. And some of those, had been with me for a very long time. I have the mail polish thinner, for just in case and I think I used maybe twice. The Orly brand is the one I have. Got it in Amazon, but I’m sure you can get one at Walgreens or CVS.
