Wrap Nails
Wrap nails are made of fiberglass, silk or linen. A section of the
wrap is cut to size and placed on the nail (natural or extension), then
activation is required to make the material adhere to the nail and
subsequently harden; this would be in the form of a paint-on or spray
chemical. This is a far kinder system than either the acrylic or the
gel because removal is much easier and it doesn't come with the
overpowering odor associated with other systems. In turn though it is a
less durable artificial nail, and not for those who are clumsy or have a
busy lifestyle. To remove soak in acetone for a short while, the wrap
and underlying artificial nail tip dissolve quickly.
Maintenance
Fake nails can become addictive and in turn a regular expense. You
will need to have what are known as fill-ins when the natural nail grows
up. A gap will appear at the cuticle end; this will need to be filled
with whatever system of artificial covering you initially chose (systems
are not interchangeable.) Nail biters will notice a rapid growth of
the underlying nail in the first few weeks after your fake nails are
applied, therefore you may need to visit the nail salon more
frequently to begin with.
Leaving fake nails without regular attention can cause health
problems for your nails. Water can seep in between the natural nail bed
and the covering causing a green fungal infection to begin. This is
unsightly and in extreme cases painful. If infection occurs, you will need to have the nails removed and start afresh with new extensions after the fungus is treated.
