Why Nail Wraps Feel Better Than Press-Ons (Especially if You Have Flat Nails)

How Your Nail Chemistry Impacts Nail Wrap Wear
The longevity of your nail wraps isn't just about the product itself, but heavily influenced by your individual nail chemistry. Here's a summary:
- Oily Nails: Natural oils act as a barrier, preventing proper adhesion and leading to premature lifting and peeling.
- Moisture Levels: Both excessively dry and overly moist nails can negatively impact wrap durability. Dry nails crack, while moist nails weaken adhesion.
- Nail Plate Structure: Smooth nail plates provide the best surface for adhesion. Ridges require extra prep work.
- pH Balance: Fluctuations in nail pH can disrupt the adhesive bond.
To improve wear time:
- Thoroughly prep your nails by dehydrating and gently buffing.
- Consider using a quality base coat.
- Choose high quality nail wraps.
- Pay attention to how your nails react to different factors.
