Vintage Rose – Scratch Nail Wraps

Hi lovelies. Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Scratch recently sent me two sets of nail wraps from their newest Kickstarter collection where they collaborated with designers to create three new sets of nail wraps.
Today I will be showing you "Vintage Rose" from The Burkatron Collection, designed by Caroline Burke.

I have previously reviewed some Scratch nail wraps here so you know how much I love working with these wraps. They are extremely easy to work with and very pliable which is usually a problem with other nail wraps. You literally just press them onto a clean and dry nail, smoothing out as you roll the wrap from the cuticle to the tip. You can file of the excess or it will easily break off at the tip as the wraps are so soft.

Here is how I wore these wraps. I paired them up in a mix and match mani with a polish that complemented the colours of the roses. You may also notice that the wraps are sparkling, that's because I added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust. It makes for a really pretty spring mani.

You get a total of 16 nail wraps. Enough for a full mani and for an extra mix and match or an accent nail mani.

Sublime Sapphire - Scratch Nail Wraps

A few weeks ago, Scratch contacted me about their nail wraps. If you have been following me for a while, you'll know that I'm not the biggest fan of nail wraps, I've always been on the fence about them (see my holo snakeskin foil wraps post).
There are some lovely patterns out there and it's a quick way to achieve amazing nail designs but I can never get them completely smooth on my nail and to last longer than a few hours. However, as more and more brands start developing and improving their nail wraps, I'm always up for giving new ones a go.

Enter Scratch, the best nail wraps I've tried so far. Before I tell you all the positives about these nail wraps, let me show you what they look like. These are the "Sublime Sapphire" ones. A beautiful blue, gold and black pattern. I would normally use wraps for accent nails but this time decided to switch it up and actually use polish (and studs) on my accent nail to break up the rich pattern a little (Nails Inc Baker Street).

What I love about these wraps:
- Extremely pliable and therefore easy to work with and adhere perfectly to the curve of the nail
- Excess wrap doesn't even need filing, you can literally rip it off at the edge after it's covered your entire nail
- Don't need to use heat of any sort so no fumbling with the hairdryer
- If you make a placement mistake, the wrap can carefully be pulled off the nail and placed back down in the correct place
- Unbelievable longevity. I still can't believe I got 5 days wear out of these nail wraps with only minor tip wear. I did use use a top coat over the wraps (as I do with all other wraps I've tried) but I was still really impressed .

Scratch nail wraps retail for $12 and this includes two sets of 8 varying sized wraps (16 wraps in total), a wooden cuticle stick and a pink nail file. Check out their website for more information and you can also follow them on Twitter (@goscratchit), Facebook, and Instagram.
