3 Best Top Coats for Nail Wraps

Ivy & Ash nail wraps are durable and designed to last - but we highly recommend wearing a top coat for longer wear and extra protection!

Some sunscreens, bug sprays, lotions, and soaps may contain chemicals that don't play nicely with our nail wraps, causing them to become gummy or sticky. Also, increased hand washing and hand sanitizer application can wear out your nail wraps faster.  A quality clear top coat can help protect your nail wraps and ensure you get the longest wear time possible!

3 Best Top Coats for Nail Wraps

We have tested several top coats to see what works best with our nail wraps.  Most top coats work just fine, but here are our 3 favorite clear top coats for Ivy & Ash nail wraps!

1. Glam & Grace Non-Toxic Clear Top Coat

Our number one favorite top coat for Ivy & Ash nail wraps is the Glam & Grace Non-Toxic Clear Top Coat for several reasons! (We love it so much that we decided to sell it on our store, so add it to your cart along with your nail wrap order!) This top coat is non-toxic and pairs perfectly with our non-toxic nail wraps. That alone makes it a winner. But on top of that, the formula won't make your nail wraps shrink, and while it's not a quick dry, the dry time is still pretty fast.

2. Essie Gel Setter

We also love the Essie Gel Setter clear top coat.  It is a thicker polish with a wider brush for easy application.  It glides on the nail smoothly and dries within a few minutes.  The Essie Gel Setter top coat provides a thicker, gel-like finish to protect your nail wrap for days.  

3. Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat

For mamas on the go and other busy folks, we recommend the Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat. This quick-drying top coat dries the fastest of the three, with minimal nail wrap shrinkage. It is a thinner polish that applies quickly and easily, giving you a glass-like finish and great protection in minutes.
