Three things worth knowing first

Your first hand is the slow one.Picking widths and learning the press takes a few tries. By the second hand you have it.
Prep decides how long they last.An oil-free nail and a strip that does not touch skin are most of the job. The prep pads are in the box for exactly that.
They are not forever, and that is the point.Change design when a gap shows at the cuticle or you get bored. Oil, lift, peel, new set.
How to put them on
  1. Wash and dry your hands. Push your cuticles back gently with the wooden stick.
  2. Wipe each nail with a prep pad. No hand cream or oil before you start.
  3. Pick the strip that covers the nail without touching skin. Between two widths, take the narrower one.
  4. Lift it off the sheet with the stick, not your fingertip, so the sticky side stays clean.
  5. Press it down a hair's width from the cuticle, smooth it toward the tip, press the sides flat.
  6. File the overhang with short downward strokes at the tip, never back and forth. Smooth the edge.
How to take them off

Put a little oil around every edge, cuticle oil or olive oil. Wait a minute. Lift one side with the wooden stick and peel slowly toward the tip. If it resists, more oil and more waiting.

Never rip one off dry. That is the one way to take the top layer of your nail with it.

What is in the kit

Two sheets of GlossLay wraps in the design you pick, one full manicure per sheet, plus a double-sided file, a wooden cuticle stick and prep pads. Buy 2 Get 2 Free is four of those kits, all in your design, for the price of two.

We have not yet confirmed the exact strip count per sheet with our maker, so we are not printing a number here.

Do they go hard?

No. They arrive already set on the sheet and stay flexible, so they bend with your nail rather than sitting on it like a shell. That is also why there is no lamp. If you want a rock-hard finish, that is salon gel under a lamp, and a different product.

What they are made of

The full ingredient list is printed on each pack. We are confirming it with our maker before we put it on this page. Message us and we will send it to you before you order. If you react to nail products, check it first.

Wearing them day to day
  • Gloves for dishes, cleaning and gardening.
  • Showers are fine. Long baths, pools and the sea encourage lifting.
  • Hand cream is fine on your hands, not on the nails or cuticles.
  • If an edge lifts, warm it for a few seconds with a hairdryer on low and press it back. Do not pick it.
  • You can put a new set on straight after taking one off, once every trace of oil is washed away.
  • Each strip is single use.

The whole idea

The done look,
without the appointment

GlossLay puts a glossy manicure on in one sitting at home, and takes it off again with oil when you want a change.

  • Stays flexibleIt bends with your nail instead of sitting on top of it. No lamp, nothing to cure.
  • A glossy finishFiled to your own nail shape. From across a table it reads as a manicure. Up close you can find the edge if you look for it.
  • On and off at homeNo booking, no drill, no acetone soak. A new design the same evening if you want one.

What it actually is

A strip of gel,
already set on the sheet

Three layers, made flat, so all you do is press and file.

A GlossLay strip being pressed onto a nail
  1. 1
    A sticky back

    Holds it to a clean, dry nail. Oil is the enemy, which is why prep pads come in the kit.

  2. 2
    The color

    The design runs edge to edge. No streaks, no brush marks, no second coat.

  3. 3
    A glossy top

    The shine is part of the strip, so there is no top coat to add.

Because it arrives set, there is nothing to cure and no lamp to buy.

What to expect

A set on day one,
and after

No promises we cannot keep. This is what a set of GlossLay wraps actually does on a real pair of hands.

  • The evening you put them onGlossy, flat, edges sealed. Keep them out of hot water for the rest of the evening while the sticky layer settles.
  • The first few daysThe tips take the wear. If a set is going to lift, it starts at a tip or a side, usually one that touched skin or was filed back and forth. Press it back or trim it.
  • Around a week inYour nails have grown and a small gap shows at the cuticle. Some people change design here, some leave it. The maker's figure is up to 2 weeks. Hands in water a lot get less.
  • When you are doneOil around the edges, wait a minute, lift with the stick, peel slowly. Then a new set, or a few bare days.

Before your first set

Three things
that make wraps lift

None of them are the wrap. All of them are easy to avoid.

1
Oil on the nailHand cream, cuticle oil, even a buttery lunch. Wipe every nail with a prep pad right before you start.
2
A strip touching skinLeave a hair's width at the cuticle and the sides. A strip on skin lifts from that point first. Narrower beats wider.
3
Filing back and forthSaw at the tip and you drag the strip off the nail. Short strokes, downward only, then smooth the edge.

Questions

Questions people ask
before buying

Do I need a UV or LED lamp?

No. GlossLay wraps arrive already set on the sheet. You press them on and file the tip. There is nothing to cure.

Will they look like stickers?

They are glossy and you file each one to your own nail shape, so from across a table they read as a manicure. Up close you can find the edge if you look for it, the same as with any wrap.

How long does a set last?

The maker's figure is up to 2 weeks. Honestly, it depends on your hands. Dishes without gloves, long baths and pools shorten it, and plenty of people change design before a set gives out anyway.

Will they fit my nails?

Each sheet has several widths, and you file the length to suit. Short or bitten nails work as long as there is nail to stick to. Very wide or very curved nails are the hard case. If they do not suit you, 30 days, money back.

Will taking them off ruin my nails?

Not if you take them off with oil and patience: oil around the edges, wait, lift from the side, peel slowly. What hurts a nail is ripping a wrap off dry, which pulls up the top layer of the nail with it. Skip that and there is nothing to scrape or soak.

Is it hard the first time?

The first hand is the slow one while you learn which width goes where. There is no drying time and nothing to smudge, so you can stop halfway and come back to it.

Can I reuse a strip?

No, each strip is single use. That is why every GlossLay kit has two sheets.

Can I use them on my toes?

Yes, if a strip fits the nail. Same routine: clean, press, file.

Can I wear them while pregnant?

That is a question for your doctor or midwife, not for us. The full ingredient list is on the pack for you to show them.

What if I do not like them?

Tell us within 30 days and you get your money back.

When will my order ship?

Within 1 to 3 business days, tracked, and shipping is free on every order.
