Silk Wraps--light reinforcement, mainly for someone who already has hard nails and only wants to fix a crack in their nails. Not good for those who stay in a lot of water, not durable for weaker nails. VERY hard to repair broken wraps

∙ 9y agoI'd heard about silk wrap nails for years, but I never knew what they were. Last month the nail on my left thumb tore very deeply in the nail bed. I tried gluing it but it didn't last very long. My manicurist recommended a silk wrap for that nail, so I tried it and was very happy with the results. The next time I visited the salon I decided to try the silk wrap on all my nails.For more information visit : Body Ethics Sydney

∙ 11y agoA wrap is a piece of fabric applied to the nail plate. The technician coats your nail with resin, lays the fabric over the wet resin and works it in with an orange stick. It makes the natural nail stronger. If you want them longer you're better off with tips under acrylic, but if they just split all the time the wrap will help you out. They use three fabrics in wraps. Silk is the thinnest, then fiberglass and finally linen...which is so thick most people given the choice would rather go with acrylic or gel.

What are the differences between Acrylic Gel and Silk Wrapped artificial nails?
Here is more information about Gel and Acrylic nail http://www.nikanails.com/en/gel_or_acrylic_nails.htmlI'm a nail technician and to be honest, they're both going to damage your natural nail bed.Acrylic and wraps can be soaked off with acetone, but Gels must be clipped or filed off.I would not recommend Gel unless you plan on keeping up with it, and having it filled every 2 weeks.For a one-time application, I would go with just tips alone, or press ons. they will cause the least amount of damage, but if you want something a little stronger, go with the silk wraps.I personally prefer acrylic to wraps or gels. It's stronger than gel and lasts longer than wraps.
