NCLA Nail Wraps in Wax Print

I was contacted by NailPolishCanada.com to test and review two sets of NCLA Nail Wraps. I was super excited to try them and honored that NailPolishCanada.com sought me out! I am so excited that I have the other set to show to you today. 
 
This geometric, almost tribal design, is inspired by wax print cloth. Each nail wrap is a different pattern and color. They are so much fun and scream summer to me! 
 For a tutorial on how to apply NCLA Nail Wraps and to look at the awesome It Don't Matter Nail Wraps look at this post here.

The Verdict:
Everyone is pressed for time in this day and age. Who has time for killer nail art? What if I'm just not that creative/talented to paint designs on my nails? NCLA Nail Wraps change this dilemma  I adore these! They save time, last a while, and look fabulous while saving you time and aggravation:) I love them as accent nails (as you can see) and cannot wait to order new, exciting designs to play with! I recommend these to anyone and everyone (especially the novice), so go pick some out today!

There are 29 different designs to choose from on NailPolishCanada.com and they retail for $16.00 for one set.

Polishes used: Barielle Nail Rebuilding Protein (base coat), Barielle Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender (top coat), Barielle Head of the Class Green

NCLA Nail Wraps in It Don't Matter (& a brief tutorial)

I was contacted by NailPolishCanada.com to test and review NCLA Nail Wraps. I was so excited to try out another brand of nail wraps/polish strips. Everyone is pressed for time in this day and age and NCLA Nail Wraps are a saving grace. When you want to have killer nail art but either don't have the time or skill to execute it, NCLA Nail Wraps come to the rescue.

Here is a brief tutorial on how to apply the NCLA Nail Wraps:
Each kit comes with 2 sheets of 22 wraps (good for 3-4 applications), a NCLA nail file, easy-to-follow directions. 
This kit is called It Don't Matter and features a variety of black and white geometric designs. The images below match the instructions described below.
1. Apply a base coat to clean nails.
2. Choose the size and design that you would like to wear. Peel the chosen strip off of the backing.
3. Line the curved side up with your cuticle. Stretch the strip and smooth out the bubbles.
4. File off the excess in a downward motion using the included file.
5. Apply a top coat to seal and protect your nail wrap.

The result...

The Verdict:
These are a time saver. They are quite durable. These are beautiful without the painstaking work of creating these designs as nail art. NCLA Nail Wraps can be worn as a full manicure or as accent nails. The wraps come in a variety of sizes. I have VERY small fingers so it made it somewhat difficult to wear this as a full mani. I don't know if there are strips small enough for my pinkies. That being said, these can be cut so they can be the appropriate size.  I would definitely recommend these to anyone and everyone. Go pick some out today!
