Quick answer
RAINBOW TIPS nail wraps give you a vibrant, metallic rainbow ombré tip over a transparent base—perfect for parties and celebrations. Each set includes 16 real nail polish strips, enough for one full manicure. Follow the steps below for a long-lasting, festive finish.
Why Choose RAINBOW TIPS for a Festive Look?
RAINBOW TIPS from BEST REAL NAIL POLISH STRIPS feature metallic vertical ombré tips in every color of the rainbow over a transparent base. The design is bold but versatile: the sheer base lets your natural nail peek through, while the colorful tips add a celebratory pop. At USD 1.95 (regularly USD 3.00), it’s an affordable way to switch up your manicure for a holiday, birthday, or any event where you want your nails to stand out.
Because the strips are made from real nail polish, they apply like a sticker but wear like polish—no drying time and no smudging. The transparent base means you can wear them on shorter nails without the design overwhelming your nail bed. For a more opaque look, layer over a white or nude base coat.
How to Apply RAINBOW TIPS Nail Wraps for a Flawless Finish
- Prep Your Nails: Push back cuticles, gently buff the nail surface, and wipe with alcohol or nail polish remover to remove oils. This step is critical for adhesion. Skipping prep is the #1 cause of lifting. Even clean-looking nails have natural oils that prevent the wrap from sticking.
- Choose the Right Strip Size: Hold a strip over your nail before peeling. It should cover the nail from cuticle to tip without overlapping skin or touching the sidewalls. If it’s too wide, file the edges gently. A strip that is too large will lift at the edges. It’s better to size down than to force a larger strip to fit.
- Apply and Smooth: Peel the strip from the backing, center it at the cuticle, and press down toward the tip. Use a cuticle pusher or your thumb to smooth out bubbles and ensure full contact. Work slowly to avoid wrinkles. If a bubble appears, lift the strip slightly and re-smooth.
- File the Free Edge: Fold the excess strip over the tip of your nail and file downward in one direction using the included file or a fine-grit buffer. Do not saw back and forth. Filing in one direction seals the wrap and prevents peeling. Sawing can fray the edge and cause early lifting.
- Seal with a Top Coat (Optional but Recommended): Apply a clear top coat over the entire nail to add shine and extend wear. Avoid quick-dry top coats that can shrink the wrap. A top coat adds 2-3 days of wear and protects the metallic tips from chipping. Skip it if you prefer a matte look.
