How To Apply & Remove Bodhi Tree Nails Classic Nail Wraps
1. Prep the nail bed
~ File and shape your nails as desired.
~ Prep nail by using an alcohol wipe to remove oil and moisture from nails.
~ Gently push back cuticles with cuticle stick if required.
~ Ensure to thoroughly wash and dry your hands before applying your nail polish wraps.
2. Find the right fit
~ Select the nail wrap that fits your nail.
~ Choose a size slightly smaller than your nail to avoid overlay of cuticle or skin as this can cause the nail wrap to lift.
3. Applying
~ Remove the clear protective top layer.
~ Peel the polish wrap and apply the wrap directly onto your nail just below the cuticle.
~ Smooth out wrap until wrinkle free.
4. File Off Excess
~ Using the included nail file, to file off excess length (you can also trim some of the excess first with scissors and then use the nail file to get your finish look).
~ Ensure that to only file in a downward motion.
~ Do not file side to side or upwards as this will stop the wrap from sealing to your nail due to nail dust getting under your wraps which will ruin the adhesive and not allow the wraps to stick as normal, so your wraps may not last as long.
For a longer lasting finish we recommend applying a top coat (optional).
While our Classic Nail Wraps require no drying time we recommend avoid getting nails wet for a few hours. This will allow the adhesive to set onto your nails.
5. Removal - We have three great methods in which to remove your nail wraps, with the oil method all natural and gentle.
~ With a cotton pad – Simply soak a cotton pad with nail polish remover, hold against the nail for about 3-4 minutes then swipe off to remove. Alternatively, a cotton bud or dental floss stick soaked in nail polish remover can be used to gently lift up the nail wrap from the side and slowly peel it off, breaking the adhesive bond. Use a cotton pad dipped in nail polish remover to remove the last traces of adhesive and you are ready for a new set of wraps! This will not work if you have used a UV topcoat, but will be fine for a normal topcoat.
~ Oil method – saturate your nails with oil (any will do – coconut oil / olive oil / baby oil) – rub the oil in well and gently lift up the cuticle end of the wrap. Using the oil to break the adhesive bond, carefully peel and rub and lift up the wrap. Do not pull the wrap off too quickly as this will damage your nails
