How to Apply your Glitz Nail WrapsSTEP 1: PREP YOUR NAILS BEFORE APPLICATION Wash and dry your hands. Do not apply moisturiser or cuticle oils prior to applying nails.

This will remove any cuticle residue or oils from your nails prior to nail application. Wait for your nails to dry. STEP 2: APPLYING THE NAIL WRAPS Choose the correct size Gel Nail Wrap for your nail. To ensure best fit, you can gently stretch the wraps with your fingers or carefully cut the wraps to fit before applying them. Peel off the clear protective film. Place gently on your nail, ensuring the wrap does not touch your cuticle or any skin around your nail. Once you are happy with the fit, press the Gel Nail Wrap firmly onto your own nail. Use the wooden applicator stick provided to apply pressure around the edges of the Gel Nail Wrap.
