Grape Glitter layers dense blue-violet glitter with warm gold flecks for a richly textured finish that changes character depending on the light. Each wrap is packed with fine deep blue-violet glitter scattered with gold accents throughout. In bright light the gold flashes against the cool blue base, and in lower light the wrap deepens into a luxurious indigo, a design that wears differently every time you look at it. A glitter that doesn't need a top coat to look finished Unlike loose glitter polish, which often needs several coats and a thick layer of top coat to look full, Grape Glitter is dense and full-coverage straight off the wrap. A top coat still helps seal and deepen the colour, but you're not relying on it to hide gaps. Styling it It's a strong enough design to wear alone, especially for evening events or the festive season when a bit of sparkle feels right. If you want to tone it down for daytime, pair it with a plain solid shade like Mystic Plum on your other hand or as an accent nail.

White is one of those colours everyone thinks they know until they try it, there's a big difference between a sheer, milky white and a true, solid one. Pure White is the latter: a fully opaque white with nothing to see through, just clean, even colour from base to tip. Why opaque matters A sheer or milky white can look uneven depending on the natural colour underneath it, patchy in places, translucent at the tip. Pure White is formulated to be fully opaque, so it covers evenly no matter what's underneath, giving you the same crisp, bright finish on every nail. Styling it Worn alone, it's a bold, graphic look, more striking than people expect from "just white." It also works as a genuine blank canvas for nail art, a single thin gold or black line reads crisply against it, and it's opaque enough that any pattern or sticker layered on top shows up clearly rather than getting lost underneath. When it works Pure White suits pretty much any season, it reads fresh in summer and crisp against darker winter layers alike. It's also a popular pick for anyone wanting a manicure that photographs cleanly, since there's no undertone to catch unevenly in different lighting. The details Fully opaque, solid white with a smooth, even, non-sheer finish Long-wearing semi-cured gel lasts up to two weeks with lamp curing Pairs beautifully with Gloss Top Coat for extra shine and depth Shop Pure White
A few small habits can make a big difference to how your semi-cured gel nails turn out. Here are our top tips for a smooth application, and why each one matters. Store strips properly before use Keep unused strips in their black sleeve, away from light, until you're ready to apply. Since the gel is light-reactive, extended light exposure can start curing it prematurely in the packet. Prep matters more than people expect Clean nails thoroughly and make sure they're completely dry before you start. Any trace of oil or moisture on the nail surface is one of the biggest reasons wraps lift early, more so than the application technique itself. Size down, not up Choose a size slightly smaller than your nail bed and gently stretch to fit, rather than sizing up and trimming. A strip that touches your skin or cuticle won't seal properly at the edge. Seal, cure, then file Press down firmly on the edges to seal each wrap before curing under your UV/LED lamp. Once cured, file in one direction only, in a downward motion, to avoid lifting the edge you just sealed. Give it time to set Keep hands dry for two to three hours after curing to let the adhesive fully set. Most people find their sizing and technique within two or three applications, so don't judge the product on your very first set. Shop Semi-Cured Gel Nail Wraps
Cherry Red is a deep, warm cherry-toned jelly with a glossy, dimensional finish that makes nails look lit from within. Each wrap is a rich, saturated red with a warm brick undertone and the plump, glass-like quality of a true jelly finish, not a flat polish red and not a hint of matte in sight. It catches the light from every angle and keeps catching it all day. Why the jelly finish matters A jelly finish has more translucency than a standard solid polish, so the colour has a sense of depth rather than sitting flat on the nail. It's part of what makes Cherry Red look more like a lacquered cherry than a plain red block colour. Styling it It's a strong enough red to wear on its own for date nights, the festive season, or any occasion that calls for a classic red mani. For something a little different, try it with a single French Stars or Gold Bows accent nail rather than a full nail art design, since the depth of the jelly finish is the main event here. The details Deep cherry-red with a warm undertone and a high-gloss jelly finish Long-wearing semi-cured gel lasts up to two weeks with lamp curing Pairs beautifully with Gloss Top Coat to intensify the jelly effect Shop Cherry Red

"How long do these actually last?" is one of the most common questions we get, and the honest answer is: it depends on your prep as much as the product. What two weeks of wear looks like With proper application, semi-cured gel nail wraps hold up through washing dishes, exercising, typing, and normal day-to-day wear for more than two weeks. The gel itself is durable once fully cured, the wear time mostly comes down to how well the wrap was sealed in the first place. What actually helps them last Starting with clean, completely oil-free nails Sealing the edges firmly so nothing catches or lifts Curing for the full recommended time under a UV/LED lamp, not just until it looks set Avoiding water and lotion for the first two hours after application When wraps might not go the distance Some nail types are naturally harder on any nail product, very oily nails or nails that see a lot of water exposure from dishes, swimming or gardening may see shorter wear than the average two weeks. That's not a flaw in the product, just something worth knowing so you can prep accordingly. Shop Semi-Cured Gel Nail Wraps
If you've ever wanted a manicure that looks like your nails but better, Rose Garden is probably the shade you're picturing.
Shellac has long been a salon favourite for long-wearing colour, but semi-cured gel nail wraps offer a comparable finish without the appointment, and there are a few real differences worth knowing before you choose. Time and convenience A full set of semi-cured wraps takes around 15 minutes to apply and cure at home, no booking, no travel, no sitting in a salon chair while your colour sets. Shellac requires a salon visit each time, which adds up over a year of regular manicures. Removal Shellac is generally removed by soaking in pure acetone, often with foil wraps, for around 10 to 15 minutes. Semi-cured wraps are removed gently with oil: lift the edge, apply cuticle oil, and ease the wrap off. No acetone soak required. Wear and cost Both options last around two weeks with proper application and care. The main difference is cost: one set of semi-cured wraps is a fraction of the price of a single shellac appointment, and you can reapply as often as you like without booking ahead.

Not all nail wraps are the same, and the difference between semi-cured gel and a regular plastic nail sticker is bigger than the price tag suggests. What they're actually made from Regular nail stickers are usually a thin layer of plastic film with an adhesive backing, essentially a sticker for your nail. Semi-cured gel wraps are made from real gel polish, partially cured before it reaches you, so what you're applying is closer to salon gel than to a sticker. How that shows up in wear Because the base is real gel, the finish has more depth and a glossier shine than a printed plastic sticker can manage. It also holds up longer: with proper prep, semi-cured wraps last more than two weeks, while regular stickers tend to lift and peel much sooner, especially at the edges and tips where they get the most contact. Comfort and nail health Semi-cured wraps are flexible enough to move with your natural nail rather than sitting rigidly on top of it, which is more comfortable day to day and less likely to catch or lift. They're also removed with oil rather than being peeled or scraped off, which is gentler on the nail underneath. Shop Semi-Cured Gel Nail Wraps
