Let's start out with the second pair of NCLA nail wraps sent to me from Nail Polish Canada, called It Don't Matter a special edition Designed with Melody Ehsani. It's a black and white assortment of patterns. I love these because you can easily achieve black and white skittle nails! Application was exactly like the ones I used last time(You can see those as well as the application process here). Again I had to cut some in order for them to fit on my nails. This time when I filed off the tips because some of them had black it looked like I had tip wear. But I fixed that easily by wrapping the tips with black or white polish. I didn't do that for my middle finger or thumb because because it wasn't really noticeable when there was a somewhat busy pattern.
And in case you didn't notice I have an accent nail. It's H&M Plum and a square stud from the Born Pretty Store. I really wanted to add a bit of colour. Also it went with the outfit I was wearing last night!
Now let's get to removal. On the back of the package it says just to peel them off.
Don't.
Unless you want to say goodbye to the top layer of your nail(See my pinky finger below). I can only imaging how much worse it would have been had I not used base coat. Nail polish remover worked just fine. I actually used acetone because it was right next to me. You can remove it like you would with normal polish and just rub it off but I found that lead to it disintegrating in to small annoying pieces(See ring finger). I would suggest you leave the cotton on for a minute or two like you would for glitter polish. It should all come off in one clean go. And your nails will look just as good as you left them.
Overall I really do like these. Especially if you are going on a trip or something. These would be perfect! ETA: And the wear on these are great. I wore the first set for 4 day before I took them off because. And they looks exactly like they did when I applied them! I'm sure I could have gotten a few more days wear out of them!
If you would like some you can head on over to Nail Polish Canada. Each pack retails for $16.00 CND. And shipping on these is free!
*Product was sent for honest review.
That was a very useful review! I never tried wraps because I have been convinced they would remove a little of the nail upon removal, so now I know I can use acetone - if I ever want to try, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe black and white nail wraps are really cool! And thanks for the tip about removal... I had been wondering about that, and it's good to know what to do. :-)
