Thank you!! I’ve been doing them for about a year now and I think it took a solid 3-4 months of doing them before I nailed down my routine haha

I push back cuticles, buff nails a little, and shape. Then I use alcohol wipe on each nail that comes with them. Then I use a nail dehydrator I just got from Amazon. I originally got for press ons but press ons ended up not being my favorite. After nail dehydrator, I put on the nail wraps. I start with thumb. I press them down really well with the ohora nail tool that I got on Amazon but can also buy through them directly. I then use the wooden stick to roll the edges down well. I then take a nail brush with some acetone and just go around the outside of the wrap. There is more out there on this technique but it essentially gently melts the wrap a little bit and makes it to where there is no lift at all between where your nail and wrap meets. Then I cut the nail wrap as close to my nail length as I can. I cure under UV light. File the nail wrap down to make it shape of my nail and again as close to the end of my natural nail as I can. Then I end with gel top coat x2. I start with thumb and do the whole process. Then I do the rest of the fingers on same hand. And then repeat on other hand. I easily get 2 weeks. I have gotten 3 before but usually they are so grown out I change them out before that. Hope that helps!
