hello beautiful people! on my last trip to primark i spotted their new line of nail wraps by the tills and was intrigued. they only cost £1 a pack, which is enough for all of your fingers and toes, so they seemed like the perfect choice for my first ever nail wrap experience! they had a lot of really cute designs but i fell head over heels in love with the beautiful dusty floral pattern, so picked them up to try out.

when i first looked at the sizes they give you, i thought that most of them were going to be way too big and that i would just need multiples of the smallest sizes. however, i found that the smallest three strips were actually too small, and didn't cover the nail entirely. i have quite small hands and nails so i wonder if they would actually fit properly for anyone? the other nail wraps were a bit too big but it was really easy to trim them to the size i wanted before applying. they were so easy to apply and are basically like stickers; rub them between your fingers to warm them up, stick them to your nail, fold over the edge, and then file your nail to remove the excess.
i found the nail wraps to be really strong and they didn't start to peel at all. i did notice that they chipped a little, but no more than your average nail polish. i do wish that they were a bit sturdier, but maybe that's just because they're from primark, and for only £1, i can't really complain. the nail wraps were really easy to take off, they just peeled off straight away. they scuffed the nail a bit, which was quite annoying, but a good clear coat would've taken care of that just fine.
overall, i really like these nail wraps. they're cheap, easy to use, and look adorable, so what more can you ask for? the only thing i can think of to make the experience better is to use the wraps designed for your toes, which are the larger set, instead of the ones designed for fingers, so that you can cut them down to fit your nail perfectly.

have you guys tried the primark nail wraps? what did you think? xx
