For once my nails weren't looking too yellow for me to be able to wear this lovely transparent strawberry nail wraps from Scratch Nail Wraps.

I've previously sampled the Pisces wraps from the Zodiac Collection. These ones were just as easy to apply but have a totally different effect due to the fact that they feature a lot of negative space.  Negative space in nail terms basically just means parts of the bare nail show through where only clear polish is on the nail.

This set of wraps comes with three designs across 16 individual nail wraps. There are small strawberries, a single large strawberry and colour blocking with two shades of green.  The colours were vibrant and clear and they wore well.  They are sturdy to apply, meaning you can lift them and reposition them, yet they are thin and flexible.  They stuck really well to the nail, but were easy to remove with polish remover.  All in all, I really liked this sweet and fresh design.  My only gripe is that I prefer my design facing the other way around.  I did turn around the large strawberry by cutting the other end of the wrap to fit my cuticle, and I could have done that with the small strawberry design too, but it is a little fiddly to get the curve right.

Have you heard of Scratch nail wraps? I've recently seen a few of the designs popping up on Instagram, and then I got the opportunity to select a set to review.  There were lots of designs that really appealed to me on Scratch website, but I ended up settling on the Pisces design from their Zodiac Collection.  They are releasing a new star sign as the year goes by, and they just released Leo.  OMG I love the combo of colours and designs on Leo, I think I might have to buy a set of those.

Scratch nail wraps came from the idea that nail wraps are really cool but most of the designs currently out there are not. They work with a range of creative designers to come up with unique and interesting nail wrap designs.  The main thing I noticed across many of the designs that sets them apart from other brands, is the variety of designs in each pack.  They are not just sets of the same design for every nail. 

Each set of Scratch nail wraps comes in a set of 16 wraps in total, packaged with a small black nail file and an orange stick.  I do love that these nail wraps are extra long.  I was easily able to use both ends of the wrap, which meant I was able to complete my full mani and use up only 5/16 of the wraps.

I love how sharp and clean all the black lines are, it's an effect that is really difficult to recreate using stamping decals or freehand.  That's when I really think nail wraps come into their own. I don't get excited by wraps that have prints that can be easily created with stamping, especially two tone designs. But ones like this make nail wraps totally worth it.

I also love nail wraps for their quick application with an amazing finish.  I was able to apply all ten of these within 15-20mins. If I tried to recreated this with stamping and freehand, I would have been here for hours.

The colours in this design are really striking and bold. Love them!
