STERLING LINES Nail Wraps: Style and Wear Guide

Quick Answer

Apply STERLING LINES nail wraps on clean, dry nails for best wear. The overlay design adds a silver foil accent that lasts up to two weeks with proper application.

How to Apply and Wear STERLING LINES Nail Wraps

1. 1. Prep Your Nails: Wash hands thoroughly, then push back cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface. Wipe each nail with alcohol or nail polish remover to remove oils and moisture. Skipping the alcohol wipe is the most common cause of early lifting.
2. 2. Select the Right Strip: Hold each strip against your nail to check width. Choose a strip that matches the width of your nail bed. If it's too wide, gently trim the edges with scissors before peeling off the backing. A strip that is too wide will overlap onto skin and lift faster.
3. 3. Apply the Wrap: Peel the clear protective film from the wrap. Center the silver foil line over your nail, then press the clear base down from the cuticle toward the tip. Smooth out any bubbles with gentle pressure. Do not stretch the wrap—it can cause the silver line to distort.
4. 4. File the Excess: Use the included file or a fine-grit nail file to file off the excess wrap at the tip. File in one direction from the nail edge toward the center, not back and forth. Filing back and forth can lift the edge or fray the wrap.
5. 5. Seal and Wear: Apply a clear top coat over the entire nail to seal the edges and add shine. Avoid water for the first hour after application. For longer wear, reapply top coat every 2-3 days. Top coat is optional but significantly extends wear time, especially on the tips.
6. 6. Remove Gently: Soak nails in warm soapy water for a few minutes, then gently peel the wrap from the sides. Do not pull forcefully—this can damage your natural nail. If stubborn, use a cuticle oil to soften the adhesive. Never pick or scrape at the wrap; it can strip nail layers.
