HOW TO APPLY LILY AND FOX NAIL WRAPS. Short nail tips to make polish stickers last longer!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- Nail wrap technique for short nails and long nails. Those of you with long nails should not have to work as hard to get your lily and fox (or other brands) nail polish wraps securely on your nails. For those of you who, like me have short nails we have to really make sure to get all of the air bubbles out and get the bottom part of the sticker over the edge of the nail. Which sometimes does not even exist. So this video I demonstrate how I accomplish this! As I am posting this video, my nail wraps have been on for 5 days with no lifting around the edges! So it can be done! I hope this video is helpful! Let me know how your lily and fox nail wraps/ nail polish stickers turned out when you did your home manicure! ALSO, I have a video about how to shape your nails prior to applying your nail wraps- so check that out after you watch this!
If you're new here, WELCOME!!! I'm Rae- I am a professional hairstylist so a lot of my content is hair/beauty related! Additionally, I do a weekly whimsical Wednesday video that is more in the lifestyle category and is whatever fun uplifting subject that my heart desires. I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know either way so that I can make sure to put out future videos based on your enjoyment! Thanks For Watching!

Wow! This is the best video so far on nail wrap application! Thank you oh so much!! 💅❤️
The downward filing motion tip is a life saver! So is tucking under the cuticle. I've ended up with them sticking to my cuticle a few times. I knew there had to be a better way to do this. I love these wraps and my goal is to get them to last 2 weeks at a time. Better than $40 or more once a month at the nail salon, for sure.
I’m so glad I can help! Thanks for watching and the feedback! 💕
Thank you for this great demo, @ the Reel Rae!❤
I love your tutorial the most! Because I like to use the other half for another nail as well.💅 you show how to cut away the other side as opposed to throwing it away.
That way, you get 2 full manicures out of 1set!😁🙌
Thank you!!!
Thank you I hope I can do it right lol. Have to watch the video again and again lol. These are soooo great
Thanks for watching, I hope they worked out well for you!
Thanks!☺️ I just got these and wow they are sweet 😋
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. I appreciate you watching and commenting! I hope your nails turned out fabulous!!
@@TheReelRae 🤗 No worries! They do turn out great and last a lot longer for me than the gel strips that you have to cure. I got better at putting them on too. And prep is important ☺️
I'm like, a gazillion months late, but, thank you for this; the first time I ever applied these Lily & Fox nails on my own, I ignored the digital instruction, and just winged it. Big mistake. Air bubble were EVERYWHERE underneath the stickers after about a week of wearing them. They started developing before that, even, but didn't get problematic until about a week, like I said, after application. I was using flamingo ones that my sister bought me for Christmas, in case you're curious, haha.

LOVE me some bright nails! Have you done any after the flamingo ones?!
Lily and and Fox are best with a clear coat over them
I totally agree! Thanks for watching!! 🤗
I can't recommend these nail wraps enough. Everybody I meet comments on them and I have forwarded your emails on to friends. I still have my first nails after 13 days.

Thank you for letting me know to add a top coat because I just got these and I want them to last more than a day especially with all the washing of my hands.
You are so welcome! I think it makes a BIG difference!! 😃
Try the sally Hansen double duty clear makes mine last for 3 weeks probably more but my nails grow to fast ..
I just did this same thing last night! Only my second time using Lilly and fox.
So you ever get bubbles how long do they last? They have such fun designs and they are cheap!
When I get a bubble I just start that nail over- when I use these wraps they typically last about a week. Keep in mind that I am a hair stylist so my hands are constantly in water. How are you liking the lily and fox brand? Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

I love these and found them easier to apply than other ones I've tried. But has anyone experienced their nails start to have bumps or ridges on the surface?
Yes. I had ridges and bumps. I think I'll try buffing them. Also, I didn't like filing the polish down afterwards because I noticed that when the polish came off my nails were trimmer in some places. Especially in those areas where I may have had difficulty getting the wrap removed. 🤷🏻♀️

I have not had that issue with my nails, however, my hands are constantly in water and chemicals at work so they don't stay on for a super long time. Is it your actual nail or maybe an air bubble under the wrap? Either way that sounds frustrating :( Also, thank you for watching! Let me know what you've figured out about your nails!
Question, Do these nail wraps have a smell and is the top coat very necessary? My family member has COPD and cannot be around nail polish or certain scents.
The wraps do not have a smell and the top coat is not required. For my situation, I feel like it just helps them to stay on longer. I know this is a very delayed response but I hope it helps.
What do you do with the left over nail strips?
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. If the left over strips are big enough for one of my nails I save them to use later. What do you do with yours? Thanks for watching!
This seems like A LOT more work than color street.... but they are so much cheaper!!! I just ordered my first order so I will know for sure when I actually try it but CS, you can just rip the excess off. I have seen in a few places that you cant do that with Lily b/c its more "plastic-y" and need to actually cut it off. Regardless, thanks for this tutorial, very helpful !
The person doing this video makes it 10 times harder than it actually is. You don't need to cut them and file them and pick them with tweezers and cut them and file them more and pick out the bits and use a cuticle stick to push in the ragged edges. I don't have a clue what this person is doing but that's not how it's done. I do Lilly and Fox like any other brand. You file it and tear it off in one piece. This person shouldn't be doing a how-to video when they clearly don't know how to do it.

I understand that this is not how a lot of people apply these. Unfortunately, I have short, brittle nails and this is the only way that I can get nail stickers/wraps to adhere to my nails. I created this video because I thought that others may have the same issue. Again, thank you for watching and the feedback.

My nails are thin, brittle, and a little sad. So, this is the way that I have found works for me. If you have had success applying the CS nails the simple way I am sure that would work with this brand as well! Thank you for watching and the kind feedback! :)
Question of the day- What is your go-to nail color?
Agree with previous post. Soft instrumental jazz or piano would be far more pleasant.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Thank you perfect straight to the point tutorial!

@@TheReelRae no prob
Normally start with your pinky first n use your thumb to remove the access .
Thanks for the tip!!! 💕
Thanks for this video. I make a mess of tucking the wrap and filing it.
It can totally be a struggle getting those edges perfect- Especially if you have shorter nails! Thank you for watching and the feedback!
I use the same techniques and they come off within a couple of days.
I'm sorry to hear that! I will say that some patterns seem to stick better than others if that makes sense. My go-to easy polish is always the Essie gel couture- it will typically last me about 5 days before I have to re-polish. Since there is no light required it's no big deal bc it's a quick polish job! Thanks for watching and commenting! ☺
My nails are extremely oily. Or not dry. To the point where they are flexible. Because of this I can't wear anything on them. It peels off within 24 hours. Even gel and acrylic nails!! One tech I worked with got my nails to finally accept gel polish and I used to use the Sally Hanson wraps that lasted 2 weeks. The trick...file so they are a bit rough, then use pure acetone, clip cuticles back and then use rubbing alcohol to thoroughly dry each nail. The tech even scrapped my nails using a scraper.
I always put mine on before bed actually I have a little lap desk and do it in bed so that they cure overnight

I just got some of these and I never knew they even existed. Seems like much work vs painting nails
They are but no dry time is what saves me! No matter when I polish with non gel cured products I always seem to smudge them! I do put a clear coat over the wrap though just to give em shine & secure them even more but clear coat is no problem
I think the benefit is no dry time plus really fun patterns! I will say when I don't have as much time I will choose to paint them instead of using the nail wrap.
Very true but I like the fact that they come in kool designs and much cheaper than going to the shop especially in these covid streets
Once you get practice in applying them it takes about 10 minutes to do both hands. One strip does 2 nails (if your nails are short). I place a strip on left hand nail, cut excess, them immediately use the other half on right hand corresponding finger ( pinky left, then pinky right). Thumbs very last. These last over 3 wks. I file my nails down and the strip doesn't chip. It is really easier than video shows😁
@@polishmehappy That's a very smart idea!
Ty for demoing how to use these stickers. But please end the music I could barely hear what you were saying. Thanks again!

Plus I have a new microphone that I am very excited about. This unfortunately does not help my previous videos, and as far as I can tell once I have uploaded a video to UA-cam I can not adjust the music and sounds :( I appreciate your watching and your feedback. I hope you will give me another chance on future videos!
My nails are like an off white/greenish yellow.
I think you may need to talk to a medical professional about that one...
background music is just noise and annoying

This seems like a lot of work. Has anyone ever asked their nail salon to apply them?
This is probably more work for me, bc I have thin sad nails. I know that some people can do this with less steps. I like the idea of getting a nail tech to do them tho!
the music is to loud

What a mess, they sent me a tester. But I didn’t get any clear coAt and you can see the ridges under neath

Oh no!! I'm sorry! That sounds like a frustrating experience. Did you try again after that or call it on the nail sticker/wraps?
Way too many steps for me. Too much cutting etc.
The person doing this video doesn't have a clue what she's doing. If I had watched this video before purchasing I wouldn't have bought them. She makes it 10 times more difficult than it actually is. You don't need to cut them and then file them and then pick them with tweezers multiple times and use a cuticle stick to push in the ends and file some more and pick some more..... Omg watching this I want to scream what are you doing! You just stick them on, file off the end and it comes off in one piece. It is not the ordeal she shows in the video.

Way more trouble than color street!
It may just be my application. My nails are short and and fussy. If you have nice strong nails then you can probably pop them on easy peasy. That being said, I posted this video because I figured that I couldn't be the only person with these nails struggle that wanted to use nail wraps! Anyways, Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
This is not how you should do this 🤷🏽♀️
