I just recently found Lily and Fox and I’m a huge fan. My natural nails are terrible (thin, peel constantly, extremely weak). I’ve tried several wraps and this is the only brand that works for me. I don’t use a base coat. I mostly use the glitter nails as well, they just seem to do better and hold up much longer. I had one free set kind of bunch and bubble after a couple of days. It wasn’t a glitter set, so I just assumed the non-glitters don’t work well for me. They don’t last 2-3 weeks like some have said, but since I’m so rough on my nails I’m very pleased to get about a week and a half out of each set.

Love your honesty, fair play to you. Possible that that particular set was slightly sub standard. Definately voice your opinions to the company and see what reaction you get. Thanks for the tutorial, well done. 🙂💜👍💐🇬🇧

Ive had a few sets that were just exactly like what happened to yours. Ive still had wonderful ones that last for weeks. Heres a few things to check... Temperature? Were the nail wraps cold or stored in cool temp? - That makes them brittle, warm them up a bit before using, I usually put the pack under my leg when cleaning /prepping my nails just to get them warm and pliable. Some Ive noticed dont like to stick on any sort of base coats... some do, some dont and the material gets all bunched up and lifts, peels right off. Tops coats as well. Have you tried just using them on clean nails? - Cleaned with polish remover and then rubbed down well with the alcohol prep? Best of luck, I love your videos and Lily and Fox :)

It almost looks like there were two clear plastic covers - how it smoothed down looks very similar to my first attempt when I couldn't remove the plastic protector and thought after I smoothed down the nail wrap I could get it off. Not Lily and Fox wraps, I didn't discover them until after ordering from a Canadian Co.

Ohora semi-cured gel nail strips or Dashing Diva gloss palette nail wraps are the two best brands to use. SN- Ohora strips are only semi-cured, therefore a uv lamp is required to finish curing.

I wonder if it's because of cold mailing temperatures- if it damages the nail polish in some way. I had a set that did that as well- most of the wraps are awesome, but I've had a poor one also.

Perhaps your nail cleanser has an ingredient in it that’s not compatible with the adhesive on the nail wrap. Just use alcohol. 🤷 If you have short nails (like I do), you can get more for your money by cutting the wrap close to the nail before the filing then using the other half on another nail or trimming them down to fit smaller nails. This does take a little more time, but why waste if you can use all the wrap?

Hi, I wasn’t going to as I have had such good results in the past and I’m putting this down to it being a one off bad set for some reason. Please don’t let this put you off as I’m sure your sets will be fine. As I said in the video, this won’t stop me recommending Lily and fox as I love the brand and everything before this has been really good quality. Would love to know what you think after you have tried them for yourself x

Start off with wiping your nails down with rubbing alcohol, then apply nail wraps, no bottom coat necessary. Also, when pressing nails to get out any bumps or bubbles...press hard as you want to secure nails on all sides and edges. Lastly, don't use a file, but simply tuck under nail and create a crease as you rub the edge of the nail. Once you have it, simply pull a little outward and down. You will have a clean tear and no exposed nail at the tips caused by using a file. Good luck! I love mine!
