Once applied the veneers should not peel or chip, and no topcoat is required although some nail techs like to add a gel or acrylic overlay further enhance the veneer’s wear as well as increase revenue.
LenaWhite Ltd has recently introduced the N’applique collection of veneers. “N’Applique offers our salons an additional service to add to theirmenus,” says Lena. “This is not something that the customer can do at home and therefore is a perfect professional service. Clients love something new and something different and N’Applique ticks every box!”
N’Applique are designed andmanufactured in the UK, and were created by Session Nail TechnicianMike Pocock in conjunction with Creative Brand Developer, Charlie Knight. The nail wrapping treatment can be completed in 30minutes and results last up to 10 days on fingernails and four weeks on toenails. Design choices includemetallic gold, silver and bronze, snakeskin, denim, poker dots and stripes plusmanymore.
By using heat, the wrap is applied to the nail to achieve a progressively strong bond which allows for a smooth and flawless
texture.The wraps can be sized
to suit all nail shapes and lengths and removed using heat to warmthe adhesive to allow an all-in-one removal.
Available fromNSI, Salon Services and Beauty Express,Trendy NailWraps aremade fromhigh performance vinyl filmthat is designed to cover the nail
plate.All you need to do is apply heat to the individual wraps to activate the underside adhesive which then allows you to stretch the wrap across the nail for a perfect fitmaking themeasy to apply to fingers or toes. No lamp is required as aTrendy NailWraps nail dryer is available.
Not only can the wraps be used on the natural nail, they can be incorporated into your UV Gel orAcrylic enhancements putting a glamorous twist on any enhancement service in a fraction of the time that nail art would normally take. Designs available range from metallic gold and silver to animal prints to brightly coloured, psychedelic designs.
Trendy NailWraps come in two formats - Pro Cut, designed for tip coverage and accompanied by any acrylic or gel systemand will last a normal gel or acrylic cycle; and Get Nailed, designed for full coverage of the nail and doesn’t require the use of gel or acrylic - you just simply apply to the nail plate.
Each wrap sheet guarantees two full sets of nails with some spares, and once applied the wraps will last between one to two weeks on fingernails, and up to four weeks on toenails.

In addition to the growing popularity in nail veneers, technicians can also jazz up coloured gel or acrylic enhancements with easy-to-apply nail art stickers, which can overlayed with gel or acrylic will last the duration of the enhancement.

themanicure.To apply Instant NailArt, just lift the 3D sticker fromthe backing sheet with tweezers (or with an orange stick) and apply themto touch-dry varnish. Press the stickers lightly in place - their self- adhesive backingmeans that they stick to the nail - and finally, seal with any clear topcoat or clear gel. For optimumwear, top-up the topcoat every couple of days.
