Do the FX wraps apply the same as Minx ?

I could be wrong but I don't think heat is needed from what I was told at Beauty UK last year xx

Correct you can also retail them. If you want your professional salon applications to last much longer then apply Shellac Base Coat & Top Coat on top of the FX wraps and seal all edges. I presume you could do the same thing with gel brands.

Can't wait!!

Definitely going to buy them and use shellac instead!

I don't haves my clients who have French however I think the colour combinations will tempt a lot of my crazy clients!! Also looking forward to trying some of the other products.

I'm absolutely certain you could

No, The French wraps are nothing like Minx at all.

Thankyou Geeg.

I can see how different they are now. I think i might just have to give them a try now S2 are stocking them. I'm not bad at a french polish but i'm not as perfect as this looks xx

How would you price these if you were doing it with shellac? Xx

No one is as perfect as these are, but they do take extra time similar to applying a tip, but no real buffing to speak of and no blending. I would add 15 minutes more to your timing and add to the price accordingly along with the cost of the French wraps.of course..

 

[chrogers]

Just to confirm the procedure Geeg, would you prep the nail as normal, scrubfresh, apply the dd, then base, colour and top coat with shellac or is there another recommended application?

Also would you buff the nail plate as for tips or would scrubfresh be enough?

Thank you in advance

They look a good idea for someone that wants french but not quite got enough length x

These French wraps are not a tip extension ... You cannot add length with them. They are as thin as a coat of paint which is why you need the applicator to apply them easily. Any over hang from the natural nail would not last long Which is why any excess if filed down..

oh ok, the video just looked like had been stuck on giving them slightly more length, but anyway what a vast improvement they give to improve the look of nails.

Hello. Just about to order DD to try it out. Can I ask if you use it, do you price it the same as your Shellac manicure or any extra? x

 

[geeg]

Unless you care to absorb the 'extra' you must charge for it! It takes extra time and there is additional cost.

Understood! Do you know how much extra to charge would be advised? x

 

[Pinkbunny28]

I can see how lovely and perfect they look but after using shellac and brisa lite I'm just not keen on the pink buffer...as much as I love pink! Can you do this applying it over the shellac base coat? x

(Although I just got a lovely comment on my fb page about a french shellac I did the other day so feeling a bit big headed and smug now haha)

I made my order for DD on Tuesday.

Never used them before but excited to try. Was going to charge £15 to start for client feedback?

Also can you use these on toe nails?

I've got the dashing diva fx, after 2 coats of shellac to carry on with top coat then put the dashing diva on with the gel topcoat?
