How to Apply Namora Nail Wraps: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepping Your Nails
Like any good foundation, the longevity of your wraps depends on proper prep.
Start with clean hands and bare nails. Now gently push back cuticles with the cuticle stick and wipe nails with the alcohol pad from your Namora kit to remove any traces of oil or dirt from your nails.
Pro Tip 💡
- Avoid use of any oils or lotions at least an hour before application.
- The best time to apply them is at night right before going to bed.
2. Choosing the Right Size
Each Namora set includes strips in multiple sizes designed to fit nails of all sizes. Choose a nail wrap slightly smaller than the width of your nail. Peel it away from the paper backing.
Pro Tip 💡
It’s better to size down when placing your wrap and stretching it to fit vs going too big.
3. Applying & Press
Leaving a 1mm gap from the cuticle line and sides of your nail, apply the nail wrap starting at the cuticle line, pressing it down firmly until all edges are flat. Align the edge with your cuticle (choose between square or round edge depending on the shape of your cuticle)
Pro Tips 💡
- Make sure the wrap isn't touching the cuticle or your skin!
- Make sure the edges are really pressed down and have fully adhered to your natural nail.
- Need to adjust? No problem—gently lift and reposition before pressing it down firmly.
4. Trimming and Filing for a Seamless Fit
Fold down the excess nail wrap or cut it with a scissors depending on your nail’s length.
File downwards to remove the excess nail wrap until the extra breaks away easily.
Pro Tips 💡
- Hold the nail file at a 90° angle and file downwards in one direction. Filing in a back & forth direction may cause dust or grit to go under the strip, preventing proper adhesion.
- Get multiple uses out of one nail wrap kit by cutting the wraps in half.
5. Smooth the edges
Gently file and smooth away any rough edges to prevent lifting of the strip. Ensure the free edge of the nail is visible and there are no uneven or rough bits hanging off.
5. Seal the deal
Apply Namora's Glossy Top Coat for added shine and durability.
Pro Tip 💡
Avoid prolonged exposure to water (swimming, bathing, washing dishes etc) or oils for at least 4 hours after application.
How to Make Your Nail Wraps Last Longer
- Avoid water exposure for the first 2 hours after application.
- Use gloves while washing dishes to prevent premature lifting.
- Reapply a top coat whenever needed for extra protection.
- Store unused wraps in its original cover in a cool, dry place and away from sunlight to maintain their adhesive quality.
How to Remove Namora Nail Wraps Without Damaging Your Nails
When you’re ready for a refresh, removal is just as effortless.
- Apply oil to the flat end of the wooden cuticle stick and gently push it underneath the edges to loosen and lift the nail wrap starting from the cuticle line.
- Gently lift the wrap from the edge using a cuticle stick—no forceful peeling.
- Use nail polish remover to clear away any residual adhesive.
