Nail wraps/faded French?

4 replies

poppym12 · 14/06/2022 14:25

I have strong natural nails and enjoy the odd manicure. I prefer neutral polish on fingernails and have seen pictures of a French polish that looks delicately faded/blurred (sorry, not very knowledgeable with terms).

However, although there are many nail places near to where I live, not many deal with natural nails and ordinary easy to take off polish which is what I want. I can do a French manicure myself but not this faded thing. The places I've spoken to so far have said they might be able to do it but they only use gel.

Has anyone used nail wraps? I've seen some that look similar to what I want but I don't know of any good brands - or even if they're a waste of time as I've never tried them before.

Any advice please?

Do you mean ombre nail wraps?

I've just Googled them and apparently that is what I mean Blush.

I'd rather have that effect done on my real nails with regular polish but finding someone who doesn't use gel polish is proving difficult.

Are there any decent nail wrap brands I should be looking for?

I buy them from Etsy. They're a bit fiddly and I have to trim them but I love them. Base coat and a top coat helps them last longer and they don't damage my nails😊
