Soft light. Clean hands. A moment just for you.
Pour a glass of wine, light your favourite Frankie & Co candle, and settle in.
This is your moment - a little ritual of care, just for you.
Before You Begin
A little care makes all the difference…
Creating a lasting finish starts with a clean, well-prepared base. These simple steps help your wraps stay secure and look beautiful for longer.
1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Dry well.
2. Gently push back your cuticles and file your nails to desired shape.
3. Optional but recommended: Lightly buff the surface of your nails. This can help your wraps adhere more strongly, but it isn’t essential.
4. Clean your nails with an alcohol wipe or nail polish remover to remove any oils.
5. Ensure your nails are completely dry before starting.
Tip: Work away from direct sunlight or windows—exposure to UV light can begin curing the wraps prematurely.
HOW TO APPLY
Shape. Seal. Shine.
Our wraps are soft and flexible, designed to suit all nail shapes. Follow these steps for a clean, lasting finish.
1. Choose your size
Each wrap is double-ended, so you can choose the side that best fits your nail. Select a size that sits comfortably inside the nail edge—without touching the cuticle or skin.
2. Peel and place
Remove the clear protective film, then peel the wrap from the backing using your finger or the wooden cuticle stick. Position it just above your cuticle, then gently smooth it over your nail.
Tip: If needed, gently stretch the wrap to better match your nail shape. Press from the base upward, smoothing out any bubbles.
3. Seal the edges
Use a wooden cuticle stick to press down firmly around the edges and sides—this helps prevent lifting and keeps the wrap sealed in place.
4. Trim and shape
Trim excess wrap with scissors - if your nails are short, you may be able to save the other half of the wrap to reuse next time or on your toes. Roll over the entire nail with the wooden cuticle stick before filing gently in a downwards direction to remove excess and smooth the edge.
5. Cure under UV/LED light
Cure under your nail lamp for at least 60 seconds, though 120 seconds is recommended for a firmer, longer-lasting finish.
6. Add a top coat (Optional)
For added gloss and wear time, you can apply a clear gel top coat and cure again.
Tip: Avoid contact with water for 1–2 hours after application to allow your wraps to fully set.
Removal
Kind to your natural nails…
Our wraps are designed to come off gently, without harsh chemicals or soaking. Just a little Cuticle Oil and patience go a long way.
1. Gently lift one edge of the wrap with a wooden cuticle stick.
2. Apply Nourishing Cuticle Oil around the nail and onto your cuticle stick, slowly working it under the wrap to release the adhesive. (Use coconut oil as an alternative)
3. Continue easing the wrap off bit by bit. Take your time and reapply oil as needed - there’s no need to rush.
4. Once removed, wipe away any residue with an alcohol wipe or cotton round.
5. Wash your hands and moisturise with your Frankie & Co nail oil or balm.
Tip: Avoid pulling the wrap straight up or off dry—this can damage your natural nail.
