Video transcript

  1. 0:00Are nail wraps just stickers? Usually not.
  2. 0:05A wrap is polish, ink and adhesive on the nail. US rules generally treat it as a cosmetic; 'antifungal' copy makes it a drug. Colourants must be permitted.
  3. 0:16Each build needs its own file, and EU gel adds TPO and HEMA checks. Review the adhesive too; never call wraps safe for gel allergies.
  4. 0:27Brands work in order: full formula per layer, market screening, safety assessment, labels, claims check, factory quality system, then register, list and notify before first sale.
  5. 0:39A listing isn't approval, so no 'FDA approved' badge or untested 'hypoallergenic'. Competitors' labels aren't proof, and US gel may not sell in the EU.
  6. 0:50Worn on the nail, every layer needs a file the brand owns.
  7. 0:55Not legal advice. Request a quote with your target markets.
