Where do you ship from ?
We ship all our nail wraps from Montreal, QC, Canada, where Nails by Aina is based.
Do you ship internationally?
We ship across Canada, the US and most European countries. Unfortunately, we do not offer international shipping outside these countries at this time. More info on our shipping policy here:)
How long does shipping take?
As of September 27, 2025:
Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, our shipping rates have been temporarily adjusted. I’ve always offered free shipping on all orders across Canada and the U.S., and I hope to return to that model as soon as service resumes. In the meantime, the current rates reflect the need to use alternative carriers. Shipping fees will be updated accordingly once regular service is restored.
Generally, orders within Canada and the US typically take 5-21 days to arrive, and 7-30 days in Europe. We offer free shipping on all orders of $25 or more across Canada. Canadian Orders under $25 ship for a flat fee of $6.99. All packages are shipped with tracking through trusted carriers for added peace of mind.
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! Also, here's a full guide on how nail wraps are safe for your nails :)
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 :) Read our article about the best top coats that are also affordable!
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. Here's a guide on how to make your nail wraps last longer :) Anyway, there are so many designs available that you'll probably want to try new ones more often :)
How should I store leftover nail wraps to keep them from drying out?
To keep your leftover nail wraps fresh and reusable, seal them in their original packaging immediately after use. The best method is to use a flat iron or hair straightener to reseal the foil pouch airtight. If that’s not possible, store them in a Ziploc bag or airtight container, ideally with a silica packet to reduce moisture. Always keep them in a cool, dry place—never in a bathroom or near heat or sunlight. For best results, reuse them within 1–2 months after opening.

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 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.
