How It Works

Step by Step

THE PROCESS

Prep Your Nails

Remove any old polish. Push back your cuticles with the wooden stick. Lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine — this helps the wrap bond better. Wipe with a lint-free wipe to remove dust.

💡 Pro tip: Do NOT use oily cuticle removers before applying — oil breaks adhesion.

🧼

Select Your Size

Each TipDrip pack contains 20 gel strips across 10 sizes. Hold each strip near your nail to find the closest match. The wrap should cover the nail without touching the skin on the sides.

💡 Go slightly smaller rather than larger — it prevents lifting.

📏

Peel & Press

Peel off the protective film on the back. Starting from the cuticle line, press the wrap flat onto your nail. Smooth outward toward the tip using your thumb. Press firmly along the edges to seal.

💡 Use the wooden stick to press down edges for a seamless finish.

✋

Cure for 60 Seconds

For Semi-Cured Gel Wraps, place your hand under any LED nail lamp and cure for 60 seconds. For UV-Free Gel Wraps, skip this step entirely — no lamp needed. The wrap hardens and becomes chip-resistant.

💡 For UV-Free wraps — literally skip to step 5. Done in 3 minutes total!

💡

File & You're Done

Using the nail file included in every pack, file the excess wrap downward against the nail tip. Use short, downward strokes only. Optionally apply a layer of top coat to extend wear time up to 3 weeks.

💡 Always file downward, never sideways — it prevents tearing.

FAQ

Semi-cured gel wraps last up to 21 days with proper application. UV-free wraps last up to 14 days. Longevity depends on how well you prep your nails — clean, oil-free nails = longer wear.

Any standard LED nail lamp works — even inexpensive ones. The cure time is just 60 seconds. UV lamps also work but take about 2 minutes. If you want no lamp at all, go for our UV-Free Gel Wraps.

No. TipDrip wraps use a 14-free gel formula — free from formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, parabens, and other harmful chemicals. They're FDA certified and tested to global cosmetic safety standards. Remove them gently by soaking in warm water for a few minutes.

Soak your nails in warm water for 5–10 minutes, or use a nail wrap remover. Gently peel from the edge. Do not forcefully rip them off. You can also use nail polish remover on a cotton pad and let it sit on the wrap for 30 seconds before peeling.

Each pack contains 20 tips across 10 different sizes — 2 of each size. The sizes range from very narrow (8.5mm) to wider nails (16.3mm), ensuring a fit for virtually every nail shape. We also offer toenail packs (NGF series) with wider, shorter tips.

Absolutely! A gel or regular top coat works great over the wraps and can extend wear time. You can also add nail art, stamps, or stickers on top after curing. Just make sure to seal the edges with top coat to prevent peeling.
