I love manicures and pedicures. They are not only relaxing services to enjoy but they are wearable art for you to showcase to the world. However, consistently purchasing manicures and pedicures package take a toll my wallets. Thus, I resort to self-painting and decorating our nails. This led to another problem. Despite the intricate designs I have in my head, I can't paint well with my left hand. This is the reason why I chose the simplest design when I have the inspiration to create. Even those took a long time for me to paint. That's where Nailsicle's Nail stickers come to play. With Nailsicle, one can have an instant manicure in under ten minutes.

However, one can't simply launch a nail wraps producing company without any research or design ideas. Thus, after 3 years of working on the nail wraps, from designing to finding the right polish inks, printing methods and more, Nailsicle was finally launched their first collection in 2018.
Consisting of over 15 different designs in their first collection, these nail wraps were of supreme quality. Each wrap is made from layers of nail polish and can last up to 14 days. These designs were inspired by a fashion-infused design philosophy in Singapore. To ensure premium quality, these designs were sent to Korea for printing.
A unique and curious factor that I noticed is the flowery descriptions about their nail wrap designs. Presenting the nail wraps that I've chosen. :
Hearts dancing in red, green and violet. In commemoration of that someone whom you love, whom you miss, but whom you don't get to see often. Maybe they stay far away, or they're always travelling. We all know that feeling of longing. Bring them out on your lonely days and nights. Or when your outfit is a long dress in pink, green or purple. - Nailsicle

The enduring beauty of the modern woman manifested through bouquets of roses swaying in the wind. Splashed with deep hues of passion to convey her most intimate desires. Bitter and sweet, all in one.A power booster for floral printed outfits and accessories. And don't forget to complete the look with a floral fragrance. - Nailsicle
We love our fragrances because, like art and music, they evoke memories, passion and imagination. And it's our sneaky way to leave an impression. How will a scent adore by the modern woman look like? Our visualisation here is induced by the boldness of pop art and the expressiveness of pop music. Light coloured tops and plenty of accessories work well with this. Even better if you work in a perfumery. - Nailsicle
Each pack contains 20 nail wraps in 10 sizes. I like how they included the full list of ingredients at the back of the nail wraps packaging. Who knew there are so many ingredients involved!

How to use Nailsicle Nail Wraps?
Pictorial Instructions included
1. Remove from packaging
The nail wraps will be sealed in between 2 clear plastic sheets and a plastic package.
2. Choose Nail Wrap Size
There are 10 20 nail wraps in 10 different sizes. Compare them to your nails to find your size. The nail wraps allow a little bit of stretching so you can choose a nail wrap that's a little smaller than your nails.
3. Peel off Nail wrap & Remove Clear Cover*
*You can remove the clear cover before choosing your Nail Wrap size but I choose to remove it right before I peel off the nail wraps.
4. Fold down excess over the nail tip and file them off
Stretch the nail wraps if necessary and apply it to your nails. Paste it and ensure there are no air bubbles in between. Fold the excess down and file them off. If you have short nails like mine, there often is enough nail sticker to fill up another nail. With careful filing and creative placing, you can turn 1 nail wrap into 2!
Pop Scents - Nailsicle
Presenting Pop Scents popping on my nails. Each nail featured a different graphic and a different colour. I like how the design of the nail wraps were so detailed as well. I find it inevitable that the vibrancy of the nail wraps regress as the nail stickers stretch to wrap around the curvature of the nails. Despite that, I find this faded look to be very suitable for everyday wear.
All in all, I love this easy to use Nail Wraps. It felt like an instant manicure to me. Unless you have itchy fingers that pick on your nails all the time, these nail wraps can last way over 2 weeks. Aside from this youthful design, Nailsicle also has a various vibrant design for you to choose from.
