Nail Wraps
I bought a couple of sets very very cheaply from Temu. One was excellent, one stayed on well but the pattern was on the surface so although the wraps were still there, the pattern was disappearing.
Having decided I like them I have now ordered these from Amazon. 22 sheets for £10, so less than 50p per manicure. Bargain
There's plenty of choice on Amazon, just look for good reviews. These ones have reviews with pictures which I appreciated.
You need to avoid the ones that are called gel wraps, unless you have a uv light to complete the curing.
You need to avoid putting your hands in hot water for about 6 hours (the longer the better really) but once they have set I have washed up in hot water, showered and washed my hair with no issues.
They say you can protect them better with a clear top coat but I haven't tried that.
The picture is one nail; I put it on nearly a week ago
Edit - They also peel off easily when you want to remove them and haven't damaged my nails at all. My nails are thin, so I clean them but don't buff them before applying. I also have ridgy nails too and that hasn't caused a problem
