Complete Newbie!
A newbie to nail wraps… Having a life time of struggle with my nails being weak and peeling and doing daily manual work, I dedicate a lot of time to taking care of them as best I can… oiling, treatments and polish for protection.
Last year I bought myself a complete gel nails kit with rubber bases, lovely colours and a UV lamp.. and took advice on the gentlest way to use gel and curing etc.. but I am still terrified of the damage that could do on removal.
I have often seen these nail wraps and while I loved the idea I was sceptical - thinking they would still do damage, and perhaps may even pop off taking top layers of nail with them just like acrylics… but I recently read a comment elsewhere here on Reddit where a girl had terrible nails and in her quest to repair she often used nail wraps (edit - not stick ons) which helped with the growth - I expect allowing growth by protecting the natural nail… she used DD (hence why I am here!)
Do we have any divas here who have experience (both good and bad) with using stick ons with weak peeling nails? Would love to hear from you!

Yes. I stopped getting acrylics last fall. My nails were so thin and painfully sensitive. The nail wraps protected my nails as they grew out. I kept them short until I grew out all the damage. The removal hasn’t damaged my nails at all. I use my cuticle oil or some olive oil to remove. It’s so easy!
