UV wraps must cure under a UV lamp. They are generally thicker and offer more nail support and longer wear than standard nail polish wraps, which do not need UV curing.

Overlays are partially transparent nail wraps. They can be applied over nail polish, other nail wraps (UV or non-UV), or on their own. Overlays enable a huge variety of individual manicure styles.

"Classic Non-UV" are the most common type of non-UV nail wraps. They offer the widest variety of designs. These wraps generally require a top coat (UV or otherwise) to seal them. Each pack contains 16 wraps. The "Shine Edition" wraps also come in packs of 16, but they are from a different manufacturer and available in a smaller range of designs. An advantage of these is that they do not necessarily require a top coat. "GlossFlex" wraps also come in packs of 16; they have a more gel-like consistency and do not strictly require a top coat, as they continue to cure over time when exposed to air. "Maxis"—also known as "Jax-Wraps"—are non-UV nail wraps that come in packs of 18 to 22; these also do not necessarily require a top coat.

UV lamps emit UVA radiation, and exposure can affect the skin. Reduce exposure by applying SPF 50 to the backs of your hands, avoiding the nail surface, or using UV-protective gloves.

UV wraps are often more supportive, while non-UV polish wraps are typically easier to remove, cost less and suit frequent design changes.

Yes, provided it is suitable and the ingredients are safe for you. Compatibility and durability vary; check the ingredient list, as not all top coats work with every wrap.

No. Unlike gel or Shellac manicures, you do not need to roughen your nails before applying wraps.

No, wraps can be applied directly to clean natural nails. A completely dry base coat or nail strengthener may be used if compatible, but some products can soften wraps or reduce adhesion.

Nail polish wraps can be used on gel or acrylic nails. UV wraps are usually thicker and are best applied to natural nails.

Different sizes are included, suitable for most shapes and both short and long nails. See our size guide.

Yes, with clear or coloured polish. Shine Edition wraps are less suitable for painting over.

Yes. Avoid prolonged water contact for at least four hours after applying wraps to help preserve adhesion.

No. UV wraps can sometimes help with minor shape corrections.

Remove cuticle residue, choose the right size, and press the edges down firmly before curing. A silicone pusher can help. Some Korean UV wraps taper at their edges.

The nail may not have been sufficiently dry or degreased. Smooth wraps from the centre outwards and avoid thick layers of top coat.

This is known as shrink-back. Leave the wraps out for around two hours before application, file in one direction and seal Classic wraps with a suitable top coat.

Hold the nail file at a slight angle rather than vertically. A finer-grit or glass nail file may help.

File only in one direction, without filing vertically into the wrap. A UV top coat may help seal the edge. If you suspect faulty wraps, contact us at hallo@blushandcherry.com.

Curing time matters and varies by product and lamp. Ohora usually needs longer curing than Heyhae, which should not be overcured. Refer to the individual product guidance.
