elligel nail wraps are just like tough stickers. You’re sticking the wrap on the nail, curing your nails under the elligel lamp, and then shaping. Our step-by-step instructions make it a breeze, even if you're not confident.
Our elligel team take pride in the fact that our DIY gel nail wraps are quick, easy & safe. It only takes 10 minutes from start to finish, and you may find once you've done this a few times that you are even faster!
Ideally, you’d like to be curing each nail for a period of 60 seconds. You can do this by using our elligel UV nail lamp and putting your whole hand under the LED lights or one finger at a time, whichever you find works the best for you.
With our lamp strength being 15 watts, it is stronger than other suppliers on the market. This means using our elligel uv nail lamp will definitely help you speed up the curing process.
We have made the process as easy as possible. To complete one set of nails you will need the following: a sheet of elligel gel nail wraps, an elligel UV nail lamp (or alternative if already purchased), a wooden cuticle stick, and elligel nail file.
elligel nail wraps will last 2 weeks or more, depending on care and usage. To help you with longevity, please ensure you are following the correct application instructions supplied to you by elligel.
The safest way to remove your elligel nail wraps is always slowly and gently. We recommend nail polish remover or coconut oil in combination with your wooden stick supplied. Use the wooden stick to loosen the adhesive, and then slowly lift the wrap off the natural nail.
elligel cuticle oil is also coming soon!
No, not at all! Anyone and everyone can use elligel nail wraps. Whether you bite your nails or grow them long, elligel will work for you.
There are many things you can do to make sure our nail wraps fit your nail bed including cutting to shape and filling the wrap down to shape once cured on the natural nail.elligel nail wraps are designed to suit the average pinky nail bed which is 8mm to 10mm wide while the average thumbnail bed is 13mm to 15mm wide. We have accommodated to these measurements with a little to spare.
Our team of experts can assure you that this is very unlikely to happen. elligel nail wraps are semi-cured, meaning you need to hold your nail underneath our elligel uv nail lamp to cure them for 60 seconds. Our packaging process also protects your sheets from all of the elements, including being packaged inside a protective black film cover to ensure safe travels.
The wooden stick is a cuticle stick, used to help in the application and removal of your gel nail wraps. It can be used to clean up your cuticles prior to application. It also helps in the application process as you can apply pressure to the gel nail wrap when overlaying it into your nail bed.
It's also helpful to use the cuticle stick when lifting your elligel nail wraps off the nail.
No! Using our nail wraps, you’ll quickly realise the clean-up is almost non-existent. No need to use messy glue or even nail polish!
