Achieving a beautiful DIY manicure has never been easier.
Let’s be honest: Painting your nails at home can be a challenge. While super handy tools make it a touch easier to paint with your non-dominant hand, it’s still all too easy to accidentally get a smidge of polish outside the lines. Thankfully, nail wraps and nail stickers exist to make perfecting at-home manicures easier than ever.
“Nail wraps are perfect for at-home DIY manicures,” says celebrity manicurist Pattie Yankee, who is a consultant for Dashing Diva. “They are already dry and ‘cured,’ so [there’s] no chance of messing up a nail if you need to get a phone call or attend to your child. You can stop the application process at any point in between without compromising the results, which is impossible with other nail coatings.”
We’re all for making DIY manicures as simple as possible, so we set out to find the best nail stickers and wraps of 2023. With the help of Yankee (and four other manicurists) we narrowed down the over-saturated nail wrap and sticker market to just 13 picks that offer countless designs and salon-quality results — all from the comfort of your home.
Best Splurge

What We Love: The finishes — including glitter and holographic mirrored options — feel and look more luxe than other nail wraps.
What We Don’t Love: Compared to other options on our list, there aren’t many designs to choose from.
Hanna is a big fan of the Lauren B. Beauty Gel Nail Wraps thanks to their thicker design. Each wrap comes pre-painted with gel nail polish, which makes them feel a bit more like a true gel manicure (and ultimately extends the longevity). Sold in 14 designs — including holographic and glittery options – each pack includes 18 gel nail wraps that simply need to be stuck on and filed down to fit.
