I apply all the coats and let them dry. Once dry, they can be used immediately. They store for awhile, but after a month they do become brittle depending on the polish used.
How do you store these to use later? Won’t they dry out? I made my first ones last night and tried to remove them this morning and they were breaking. I added another layer of base coat so it can be more pliable and I was able to lift them all flawlessly. But once I put them on my nail and I pressed down, I could see my finger prints and they melted down in my cuticles. Any tips?
They don't last long, they are temporary as far as long term storage. Once they are dry, I use a cutical pusher to lift them up. The clear coat can't be fast drying. That will make them brittle. I have the name of the bottle of clear, mentioned in the info box. I'll get a link to the clear coat asap.
@@theshabbyrose thanks! I didn’t use a fast drying coat. I think I just left them out too long. I was able to lift them with tweezers once I added a layer of base coat on top.
Here is the clear coat I used. It seemed like a neat thing to try, but they do lack longevity. www.wetnwildbeauty.com/product/wild-shine-nail-color-protector/
I have tried to make my own nail wraps recently and your tips/advice are excellent. Thank you!
That is so exciting 😍
Do you apply the coats consecutively to dry all at once or do you let them dry between each layer.? How soon can you use them?

If you store them in an air-tight bag, sealed with a vacuum sealer, will they last longer than a month?
It depends on the longevity on the polish. I noticed that some brands get brittle faster then others. Fast dry brands seem to become brittle quicker.

What is that that ur putting the nail polish on
It is a silicone Nail art mat from Amazon. It helps peel the polish off easily. Any silicone mat will work.
