Frequently Asked Questions

• Why use nail wraps rather than traditional nail polish ?

Nail wraps offer several advantages over traditional nail polish : tons of pretty designs for all tastes, they last longer, are easy to apply, and are completely odor-free, but the most important one is that they are a healthier alternative as they do not contain harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and toluene that are commonly found in nail polish. We could talk all day long about how convenient nail wraps are but we created this page instead for more details! 

 

• What's in Your Nail Wraps ? Are they safe to use ?

Our wraps are 10-free, meaning the formula is free from the ten most common and sometimes controversial chemicals that are found in traditional nail polishes. Our nail wraps don't contain formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, formaldehyde resin, xylene, parabens, fragrances, phthalates, and animal ingredients. You can feel good about using our wraps on your nails, knowing that they haven't been tested on animals!

Each ingredient in our nail wraps has a specific function to make them long-lasting and safe for your nails. Here's the list : Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer, Hydrogenated Poly (C6-20 Olefin), N-Butyl Acetate, and Polyacrylic acid. Other ingredients include Ethyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, and Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate, Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone, Bis-Trimethylbenzoyl Phenylphosphine Oxide.

 

• How many nail wraps in each set?

Nails by Aina come in a set of 16 nail wraps, which are available in 8 different sizes. These sizes include both larger and smaller wraps, suitable for various nail sizes, ranging from the thumbs to the pinkies. You can also mix and match unused wraps with other designs to use them in the future :)

 

•  How To Apply Your Nail Wraps ?

Our nail wraps provide the perfect manicure at home. These self-adhesive nail polish stickers don't require heat nor UV lamp to be applied. You can have gorgeous nails in minutes with just a few easy steps, detailed here :)

If you notice bubbles, creases, or wrinkles on your nail wrap after application, don't worry. You can slowly peel off the nail wrap, gently stretch it, and reapply it to your nail to smooth it.

For optimal adhesion, make sure your nails are clean and dry before application. If needed, use alcohol wipes to remove any oils or residues. Avoid using hand creams, cuticle oils, or similar products that can affect adhesion before applying the nail wraps. After applying the nail wraps, wait a couple of hours before exposing your nails to water or lotion. Ideally, 6+ hours. Personally, my best time to apply them is at night right before going to bed :)

 

• Do I REALLYYY need to apply a top coat?

Though our nail wraps come with a top coat finishing, we recommend applying a thin layer of top coat for long-lasting wear and a smooth finish. We found that fast dry top coats tend to cause shrinkage to the tips of the nail wraps so you'd want to avoid them. Our favorite top coat is Sally Hansen's High Gloss, but there are many other quality brands out there :)

 

• How to Remove Your Nail Wraps ?

There are 2 easy ways to remove your nail wraps. Personally, I like to use Method #2 as it's gentler on the nails but Method #1 is efficient if you're in a hurry. More details here :)

 

• How long do your nail wraps last ?

Once applied, our nail wraps usually last from 5 to 10 days. Some of our customers mentioned they could last up to 2 weeks! Please note though, that the longevity of your manicure is dependent on a multitude of factors, including your daily routine, which makes it difficult to guarantee an exact duration. Plus, there are so many designs available that you'll probably want to try new ones more often anyway :)

 

• Why does the nail wrap design look slightly different from the photos?

Slight differences between the design of a nail wrap and its actual photo are normal due to factors like lighting, screen settings, or the angle of the photo. Colors and patterns may appear slightly altered depending on how the photo was taken. That’s why we always recommend checking out our product photos to get the most accurate idea of the design :)

 

• Are Your Nail Wraps Made of Real Nail Polish?

Absolutely! Our nail wraps are made of real nail polish with a protective backing to ensure they don't harm your nails. If you've had negative experiences with other nail products in the past or have sensitive nails, give our wraps a try! 

 

• Are your Nail Wraps Vegan, Non-Toxic, and Cruelty-Free?

Our wraps are 10-free, meaning the formula is free from the ten most common and sometimes controversial chemicals that are found in traditional nail polishes. Our nail wraps don't contain formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, formaldehyde resin, xylene, parabens, fragrances, phthalates, and animal ingredients. You can feel good about using our wraps on your nails, knowing that they haven't been tested on animals!

 

• Are your Nail Wraps Suitable for Children ?

Although, as mentioned above, our wraps are non-toxic and safe to use, we do not recommend applying them on children. (Of course, as parents, the decision is totally up to you:)
