How to apply Gel Nail Wraps

Start by making sure your hands are clean and completely dry. File your nails straight across using the Mylee 240 Grit Nail File* and gently refine the edges to create a neat, even shape for the wraps to sit on.

Apply a small amount of Mylee Cuticle Remover* around the base of each nail, then gently push back the cuticles. Even small traces of cuticle can stop the wraps from adhering properly, so take your time with this step. If needed, use a Mylee Metal Cuticle Pusher* to remove any excess skin from the nail plate and ensure a clean, smooth surface.

Buff the nail surface to remove natural shine and create a smooth base for application. Cleanse each nail using a Mylee Lint-Free Wipe* soaked in Mylee 2-in-1 Nail Prep & Wipe* to remove any dust or oils. If you don’t have these, wash your hands with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. If your nails tend to be oily, apply Mylee Nail Dehydrator* after cleansing to remove any remaining moisture.

Choose your favourite design and select the correct size wrap for each nail. If you’re between sizes, choose the slightly larger wrap and trim to fit. For small adjustments, you can gently stretch the wrap so it sits neatly along the sides of the nail.

Peel the wrap from the sheet, touching only the end that won’t go on the nail. Apply it as close to the cuticle as possible without touching the skin.

Press the wrap firmly from the centre outwards to smooth it down and prevent air bubbles. Then use your thumb to press along the sides and edges, ensuring the wrap sits flat and evenly across the nail.

Trim any excess wrap as close to your natural nail length as possible using Mylee Curved Edged Scissors*. Ensuring the wrap aligns perfectly with the edge of your nail is key to preventing lifting.

Check that the wrap sits flush with the tip of the nail and isn’t overhanging. If needed, lightly file underneath the free edge using a Mylee 180 Grit Nail File*, working in one direction only (top to bottom) to remove any remaining excess and refine the finish.

Press firmly across the entire nail, focusing on the edges and tip to fully seal the wrap in place. This final press helps smooth the finish and secure the edges. Avoid applying oils or getting your hands wet for at least 2 hours after application to ensure maximum adhesion. Once set, enjoy a long-lasting mani with up to 14 days of wear.
