The Scoop
For this week’s #ManiMonday post I’m wearing a
brand that has been newly introduced to the U.S. called, INNI. What is
truly unique about these nail wraps is that YOU create your own designs; they
are completely customizable. If you aren’t the most creative when it comes to
things like this, no sweat, you can simply choose from their catalog of
customizable nail wraps already created by others on their website.
About INNI Nail Wraps
These
wraps are like gel polish but better because they last up to 14 days without
chipping or peeling even in water or hot temperatures. The wraps are created
from an extremely durable and flexible vinyl which allows you to stretch the
wraps to cover the entire nail surface for a flawless wrinkle-free manicure. To
remove the wraps simply peel off – no polish remover necessary.(from Inni)
I
think these nail wraps have quickly become my favorite nail wrap brand which
is tough because I’ve been such a huge fan of the Sally Hansen Salon Effects
since they released about three years ago. There are several factors that come
into play for me saying this:
1. Because these nail
wraps are not made of real nail polish but the durable vinyl as explained above
it gives you room for error. For instance, on my right index finger I just
couldn’t get it lined up right for the life of me. I was able to remove the
wrap several times and reapply it without breaking or ripping the wrap like I
had done with my Salon Effects nail wrap last week.
2. Each set comes with 30
wraps in 12 sizes which means it will fit an array of nail sizes. You guys know
I talk about how large my nail beds are all the time but this set I found, was
the closest to covering my full nail beds. I still have space on the sides of
some of my nails (thumb, middle, and ring) but not nearly as much as the
typical nail wrap sets.
3. In addition to being
able to upload any image you want or to create your own design from scratch,
because so many users have already created a ton of designs you can simply go
through the latest created designs and find one that you like if you don’t want
to create your own.
4. The last thing that I
love about these is the price. For $9.90 you get the 30 wraps AND free
shipping. And if you love switching up your nail designs often you will
definitely want to become a subscriber and receive 3 nail wrap sets per month
for $19.90 (that’s buy two get one free!).
One thing that I think the brand should offer
which it currently doesn’t is the ability to have one nail wrap set with a
different design for each finger (so think one set with five different
designs). Hopefully they will come up with that in the future.
The Look
When I received the nail wraps set it simply
looked like a design that was printed on paper. It reminded me of what a
picture looks like when you print your pictures at a Kodak kiosk. BUT, don’t be
discouraged because after I applied the nail wraps to my nails the design
really popped. One issue that does come up when you are dealing with nail wraps
that are not made of real nail polish is the “bubbling” effect. This mostly
occurs around the edges of the nails. With these I still had a little bubbling
but not as much as I have had with other nail wrap brands. To avoid this
bubbling try stretching the nail wrap as much as you to ensure it’s covering
the nail properly and then when you are filing away the excess be sure to file
DOWN and not side to side.
