Since 2011, nail stickers have become increasingly popular. It’s easy, lasts a while and you can choose from many different patterns. Nowadays they are even available for your toenails. This article is not about the loose nail stickers, but about nail stickers that you can stick over your entire nail so that you no longer have to use nail polish. These stickers are also called nail wraps.

What are nail stickers?

As the name suggests, nail stickers are stickers for your nails. A pack often contains different sizes, so that there is the right size for everyone. Nail stickers are suitable for long or short nails, it doesn’t matter. You stick the stickers on your nails and use a file to remove the unnecessary part of the sticker, so you get the sticker nicely on your nail.Tip: before applying nail stickers, file your nails and press back your cuticles. Also degrease your nails with nail polish remover. This way the stickers stay in place even better. 

How long does it last?

In most cases, nail stickers last longer than nail polish. Nail polish starts to chip after a few days. How long a sticker stays with you depends on what you do with your hands. In most cases, your nail stickers can last up to two weeks and if one comes off, you can easily stick a new one on, since there are several nail stickers in your set. Nail stickers can withstand water and will therefore remain in place while washing hands and showering. Removing nail stickers is also quick, because you can easily peel them off if you pick off a piece.

What kind of patterns?

More and more types of nail stickers are coming onto the market and therefore more patterns are being added. Patterns you see a lot are lace, tiger print, stripes, dots and stars. If you choose such a pattern, you often also have a choice of different colors. Something that is also becoming increasingly popular are plain nail stickers. These stickers, for example, are completely pink. It then looks like you’re just wearing nail polish.

Order on the internet

If you look around the internet for nail stickers you will find many types. It is a matter of testing which brand you like to use and how much money you are willing to pay for it. You can also buy a set for a party to try it out, because if you want to do your nails every week it will be a lot more expensive than simple nail polish. You can also apply nail art to your nails yourself with Konad Nails. That’s also a lot of fun, but it takes more work than these nail stickers.
