The last nail warps I received from Born Pretty Store went really well, you can see those here, and they looked really pretty on the nail, so I decided to try some more, something a little bit less pretty and a bit more nerdilicous. So I chose these Moustache ‘Like a Sir’ wraps.
In the pack, you get 2 strips of 7 meaning that you can mix the designs up to your liking and even have a few left over after to possibly integrate into other nail art. Like the previous wraps, the last 5 designs were pretty much perfect in size for my nails but I decided to mix it up a little and have a different design on each nail, this took a little extra trimming but it was worth it.
I found these wraps to be much, much stretchier than the last set, which made it a little difficult for me to get the positioning right. Mainly because if I placed it wrong, then pulling it off tended to stretch it out and give it little ruches, making it harder to place the wrap flat and with no folds.
I found that the designs on a white background showed the folds and bubbles more than the black designs. I did originally have the white wrap with the black moustache on my thumb, but changed it because I completely messed it up.
I’d still say that these a much better than the wraps I had tried in the past, and the design is so adorable. I think it would be perfect for Movember nails, I might buy another set just for that.
My favourite thing about these wraps, is that the design is what I would class as the right way up and even though the wastage is again about half of the wrap, the designs aren’t lost, even the ‘like a sir’ design is the perfect size for my nail.
Tidying the wraps up after application is easy. I’m not sure if this would work with the Eiffel Tower wraps, but if you fold the wrap over the end of your nail properly and pull down so it creates a 90 degree angle, then you can rip most of the excess of and just have to do a little bit of filing.
If you haven’t folded it properly, you may end up losing the corners, like on my middle finger.
Removal is also really easy. I just used nail polish remover and the wrap removed just like polish with a few rubs and left nothing behind, no sticky residue or little stubborn bits.
I think I am now in the honeymoon phase with nail wraps and I’m going to be keeping an eye out on Born Pretty for any other ones that catch my eye.
These wraps and a few other designs are available on Born Pretty Store here for $2.38 (£1.42) and don’t forget, when doing your Born Pretty shopping, you can get 10% of your order by using my code CBAQ10 at checkout.
I’m not sure if I’m ready to try other brands of nail wraps yet but I’m getting there with them.
