Do any of you use nail wrap stickers?

Like in the picture.

I'd like festive nails & have bought some stick on ones but wondered about trying these stickers maybe?

I cba to paint them & wait for them to dry - there are too many other things I could be doing impatient, I know 🤷‍♀️

You have to be patient when putting them on otherwise they won’t stick properly

recommend lightly buffering your nails first 😄

Thanks @Danikm151 how long do they take to stick? Maybe I'm getting my hopes up & they're going to take just as long as painting my own would?

Following with interest and hoping for recommendations! I keep looking at these

I was looking at those. Don't you have to put a top coat on after the sticker bit?

Between nail wraps and sistico (has anyone used that?) my FB feed is full of nail spam.

I've used the Holy Grail ones, nice quality, easy to put on, you need sharp scissors. They lasted about 10 days to 2 weeks!

@Mumdiva99 I think the instructions I read did say to top coat once the sticker was applied. That's still, hopefully, faster than base, polish & top coats though...I think

I use ones from Lily and Fox. They last a couple of weeks usually.

Make sure your nails are totally clean before you start.

I would say distinctly average. Took me WAY longer than normal polish because you have to file down excess on ends and it's v fiddly. I would say not worth faff, BUT they do offer quick nail art. I tried about half a dozen times and got bored. Peeled off quickly too and I bought a decent brand.

Thank you all; I think I'm going to try some cheapish ones & see how I get on with them. If they're fiddly I'll just wait for the Christmas hols & use the stick on ones for as long as I get out of them.

Like 5-10 seconds a finger but need to concentrate to get them straight. Rather than using scissors fold over then file carefully 😁

I got some from oh my gosh nails.
You did need to cure them under a uv lamp after you've put them on (not sure if they are all the same) £7.99 and they lasted 10 days. Dws are still on 3 weeks later-clearly I do more than her 😂

Yes I love them! Super easy and quick to do and last a lot longer than regular polish. I just put a clear top coat of polish over them and they last about 2 weeks

Any other top tips apart from super clean nails, and to file rather than cut them? I'll watch a few youtube videos tonight

I've just stuck these, slightly mis-matched on the other hand because I stuck the wrong size to one nail. They were surprisingly quick, and easy! Now lets see how long they last...

Very festive!

They look lovely.

Do you think that something like this would protect a split nail? I've damaged my index finger nail, it's split too far down to trim so I need to keep it stuck together until it grows out.

How good a self manicure do you need to give yourself before using these? I am not used to doing this myself. Also, may be a stupid question but can you get them for toes? I am currently paying out £80 per month for fortnightly care and the 'nails' are just dropping off after about a week!

@poppym12 I think they might - I managed to split a nail somehow today while changing our littlest dc at work, for their Nativity. The sticker's still intact on top of the nail & the nail hasn't split any further underneath it.

@Thistlelass I filed my nails, pushed back my cuticles & buffed a little to remove the shine, then gave mine a swipe with nail polish remover. They've lasted, with no lifting, so far. The tips of my nails are starting to wear away now but they were really easy & I'm pleased enough with them.

Thank you @lucysmam. I found some in Claire's yesterday so I'll have a go at applying them.

I wear ones from www.ohmygoshnails.com all the time although not in the last 6 weeks as I've not got the time with a newborn!

I've got it down to about 15 minutes to remove one set and put on another and tend to change them every 2 weeks. I do out a coat of clear varnish over the top but it dries really quickly as it's just one layer

@Thistlelass Lily and Fox do toe nail ones. I've not tried them yet though.

I use them ☝️. Have had amazing results with stickers from holygrailnail. Last about 10 days with a top coat and seem good quality. Have also tried the ones that you can cure with a UV lamp which are good too and look like the gels I used to pay £35 for! I put on one of their pedicure sets for a holiday in October and I still have 9/10 on - admittedly they are all grown out and look a bit odd but given they have been on for 3 months I’m now bizarrely fascinated to see how much longer they cling on for!
