French Wrap

So, as I was sifting through my local Sally Beauty Supply store a couple months ago, I stumbled across a new product by Nail Bliss Pro called French Wrap Professional Manicure Kit.  I was intrigued by it, so I purchased for about 34.99.  Although a little pricey, it claimed that it would last well after one week so I figured that if it lasted, then it would be well worth the money spent.
A look at what the box looks like.
Contents include: 2 different styles of french wraps (thick and thin), instruction manual, buffer, file, nail glue, base seal, and top seal.
Always read the instructions before beginning your manicure.  Clip, clean, file, and remove cuticles on your nails.  Decide which thickness style you prefer for your manicure and then size up your french wraps to your nail by matching the nail wrap to your nail bed.  Remember that these are not meant to be tips to your nails, therefore, they DO NOT add any length whatsoever.  Then, buff your nail with the pink buffer and then begin gluing your wraps to your nails.  Only glue the white wrap to your nail and not the clear housing.  Once your wrap is secured to your nail, the instructions explain that you should clip the tab off of the housing and the rest of the housing will fall away, however, I prefer to just bend the tab and then the housing will just come apart from your nail without all of the different pieces.  After all of your wraps are in place, file the excess to be flush with your natural nail and apply one coat of the base seal.  Allow the base seal to dry for at least five minutes and then apply two coats of the top seal.  The top seal appears to dry fairly quickly, but be careful because if you accidentally bump into something with your nails, it will damage the top seal.
The finished product =) Sorry if the above picture isn't the best quality.  
After having this product for a couple months, I think it is fair to say that I really enjoy this product and would definitely repurchase and recommend to others (and have lol).  The only downside to this product is that it claims to last at least a week and it never lasted that long for me.  At most, four to five days, although this could be because at my job, I am extremely hard on my nails.  Who knows...but, overall I give it an 8 out of 10.
