Backscratchers Sheeeer Magic Silk Wrap - Self Adhesive Manicure Nail Art Tool - DIY Nail Extension - 2 Count

This is perfect. There is a bit of a learning curve doing it on yourself. So after two failed tries I got it done and it looks like my nail isn’t broken deep into the skin. I’m glad I tried this. I’m sure I’ll use this over and over. Be sure to order the resin and prepare to be amazed.

This is amazing. I am new to this product. I purchased this product because my nails need help and I saw a video on YouTube that said this product was good for short nails. Easy to use, but I'm still learning -- but it's has not given me any problems so far and it has cut my time down on doing my nails. And people I was able to do my none dominant hand with no problems and it looked great. I'm so glad I saw the video and purchased the silk wrap.

While this does help to keep slightly torn nails in place until they can grow out, it is not actually self adhesive. The adhesive doesn't stick well even if placed correctly on the first try. If you have to readjust placement the adhesive goes away. I always have to use nail glue to keep them in place.

Very convenient

I’ve kept my natural nails long for 10 years so I’ve broken them like 9237828382 times. I’ve used every combination of silk wrap/teabag/repair kit/whatever out there to fix them but nothing would ever last longer than like 5 minutes lol. This silk wrap makes my repairs last 2 weeks. Here is what I do: 1. Cut a piece of the silk wrap larger than the size of the break and use tweezers to remove it from the backing and apply it to your nail. Make sure it’s firmly attached but don’t use your fingers to push it down (oil from your skin will affect adhesion) 2. Apply a very small amount of Backscratchers’ Stikr resin; just enough to saturate the silk 3. Spray with resin activator (I use Karlash) and wait 30 seconds for it dry 4. Repeat steps 2-3 twice and you’re done Bonus points if you prep your nail beforehand—it will make a big difference in lasting power: 1. Remove all polish/nail coatings with pure acetone so your nail is 100% free of product 2. Apply a nail dehydrator to the break (I use Gelish pH Prep) 3. Apply primer sparingly to the break (I use either OPI Bondex 2 or ORLY Nail Tip Primer) To remove the patch, just soak your nail in pure acetone for 1-2 minutes and it will dissolve enough to be easily wiped away with a cotton ball. Don’t pick it off or you’ll damage your nail. Hope this helped! :)

This silk wrap is exactly what I needed to reinforce the vertical split in my nail. Combined with nail repair gel under and over the wrap, it looks beautiful and ready for nail polish.

The adhesive is really bad. It was hard to stick to my nails and it kept peeling up. I had to glue it down and some of it kept bubbling up. If you’re looking for adhesive, this isn’t strong enough to stick. My nails were clear of any dust and oils. I like that you hardly see it on my nails when I added enough glue to get it to stay. And you do get a lot of the silk wrapping but I would never purchase this again nor do I recommend it. It’s difficult and annoying to deal with.

Have been a nail tech for 34 years. Silk nails are less damaging and so natural looking. So glad to have found this product! Had to add to review...just looked at price and passed out! What's up with the price gouging? There's no silk shortage! It's almost $20 more than the last time I ordered it. Will be the last time I order it from you. Reel that back in people. Should be ashamed of yourselves!!!
