I’ve been using then since January. I like them, so far each set I’ve done lasts me a more than 2 weeks. I cut the excess with nail clippers and save the end to do my toes. So i get manicures plus pedicures out of my strip sets. I do put a layer of regular top coat to help seal them so there’s no gaps that could potentially get my hair stuck.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Great tips! Thank you for sharing😊

[@ravenimani20]

Thank you for the tip ! I always only use on my toes because I don’t like them snagging my hair ! Top coat may help that

[@stardustgirl2904]

They don't want to stay on, there thin and feel incredibly cheap! The sticky stuff has gone away and it just doesn't work! I'm really glad I got them pretty cheap ❗🚩I have used a different brand in the past from Ulta beauty, that we're totally amazing, and they actually worked! But they don't carry them anymore and I don't remember the name sadly!

[@wiggilytaco7570]

How do you get tips at the edge of the nail from peeling upwards?

[@Brandi62]

@@stardustgirl2904 I had some that were called gel nails and high gloss, in this brand and they stayed on for 4 weeks!

[@Randilynn66]

A tip that works well for me is to do the thumbs last, in case you need your thumbs to help peel off a strip.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

That's a great tip!!🤗

[@purediva81]

Great tip!!

[@chrissys7332]

I agree. excellent tip.

[@Char-Williams]

Thank you

[@vettriley675]

😂, that was my first thing I did.

[@omazingspecialtiesbyteresa3017]

[@tiffanyshipp5315]

One tip from my experience...save the mirrored strip from the packaging. Once you use the stickers you need, store your remaining strips with the shiny foil between them. That keeps the nail stickers from sticking to each other. Mine got so stuck I had to toss some of them.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

What a great tip!! You are right, they do get kind of stuck together in the package....note to self, "keep that mirrored sheet!"😘

[@marynoel2278]

Thanks! I was wondering what the foil was for!

[@dayanararivera6186]

Gracias jjaja decia que estaban ahinpor algo pero no sabia para que

[@Sarappreciates]

I love this! OMG! I bought some without thinking because the checkered pattern looked cool and difficult to do with polish, but I had no idea what do with them when they arrived. Also, being over 50 my eyes aren't what they used to be. Me attempting to read fine print instructions nowadays is like watching a comedy of errors, so *THANK YOU* for this tutorial! ♡

[@mb7489]

Omg. Same here...thanks.

[@Kczari]

FILING DOWN MADE THIS WORK SO WELL!!! thank you for sharing, I was getting so frustrated with the little bits on the end. But filing down made them perfect and I was able to correct the corners

[@zukini8763]

I just started using nail strips about a month ago, ordered a set from Amazon that has 72 strips with a variety of designs. First, I love the option of being able to mix and match. Secondly, if you have any mishaps or misapplications you have many more left available. I have found that applying a base coat first helps them to adhere better and last longer, in addition to using a top coat. Bottom line, as someone who has always experienced chronic chipping from using regular polish, I love these strips. They're relatively quick and easy to use, and you can get a lot of wear and use out of them. Also I found some pretty Dashing Diva strips for $5 which I haven't tried yet because I'm still having fun trying the others, but I'm excited to check them out.

[@nowelle427]

I just tried these tonight, and I can’t believe how easy it was to do and how great my nails look! You and I did my nails “together,” because I pulled up your video and watched your giving of instructions through the entire process! Thanks for “dropping by!”

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Wahoo!! It was my pleasure! Always fun to do nails with friends😘 I’m so glad the application process went smoothly....hope you enjoy them!!😍

[@jeanne2846]

I have been using DD Gloss for two years, unfortunately, nail polish chips in less than 48 hrs after applying. I suggest pushing your cuticles back and sanding the nail slightly to remove any ridges you may have. Then use the alcohol pad to remove any powder or oil from the nail bed. Apply the strip just under the cuticle -- you'll get three weeks out of a mani. You can cut the excess strip off the nail with a small scissor or file it off in one direction with a nail file. Apply a coat of clear polish and you're good to go.

[@elainemullins7860]

These nails are so pretty. I'm so glad you showed how they look after 14 days.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

I’ve really enjoyed them! Glad you found this review helpful💕

[@heatherratliff1813]

I just put these on and only lasted a few minutes and came right off!

[@gaylelogsdon4013]

I’ve been doing gel nails for a long time but it was fun watching you apply the clever nail strips a quick and easy way to be creative. Enjoyed another Sunday solo. Looking forward to your next selection. 💖

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Gel nails are wonderful! So happy you continue to enjoy my Sunday's Songs♥️🥰

[@user-uh2dn9ks3k]

I received these as a gift and was not sure exactly on how to use them, I will try them this weekend , your video has been very helpful, thank you so much 💕

[@terricardinale3185]

I just tried these recently...awesome!!! I had to take them off for a manicure. I’m allergic to acrylics, gels, nexgen...tried them all. Can’t even wear nail polish. These are amazing and lasted for over 2 weeks.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

That’s wonderful to hear they worked so well for you!! Knowing that you are allergic to all the other nail products probably made you super excited to find something that works!😘

[@charris1ful]

Great detailed video.You also can use a lil oil of your choice and a floss pick starting from the base of the nail. They also have the dashing diva red therapy as a base seal treated before applying the strips.

[@cindydistenfeld8055]

I just ordered two sets from the website. I can’t wait to try them! Thank you for showing how to apply them! Have a great weekend!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Wahoo!! Have fun!💅🏻😘

[@anitadompkowski4664]

LOVE these. I have had these on 3 weeks now and I LOVE them.

[@debbiebifolck4291]

This is a nice alternative to going to the salon. I used to get silk nails before covid and I haven't gone back since. My nails were damaged and have finally grown back to a more healthy nails. I'm getting really good at manicure but unfortunately they don't last very long! Thanks for the video! ❤

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Yes, I think these might be a great alternative! I’ve had 3 pairs on now and so far, no damage whatsoever😘

[@carolvigilante950]

I just bought these strips the other day at ULTA. I also tried the ons that you use the led light with. The Dashing Diva that you use the light with stay on really good in fact so good that they were a little hard to remove. They in my option aren't as easy to put on. Took me like 45 min to get them done. But they came out pretty darn good for my first try. These strips look much easier. Should have started with the easy ones first lol😉 Love all your tutorials on make up & hair. You are one very beautiful lady.😘❤

[@yesrodca7191]

Thank you for your care in explaining & filming! Gonna try these really soon. Couldnt stop staring at your beauty! Your hair, skin, smile, teeth, lashes, eye makeup, coloring...just lovely! Even your brows are soooo on point. I cant even guess your age! Your profession agrees with you!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

You are so sweet💗 Thank you for all of those amazing compliments!🥰

[@ep8812]

Loved the informative video! Thank you. Please share your lipstick brand and color...it's perfect!!❤

[@mariaziarnik6909]

I was curious on these nail stickers. The tutorial was very helpful and do not see so intimidating! Will be picking some up tomorrow for the holiday.

[@monicag.6462]

Love your concise and clear explanation!

[@reginacline897]

I have wondered about these. I have never used them but seeing how easy they come off I think I'm going to give them a try.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

I’m the same way! Easy removal is a HUGE selling point!😘

[@OcelotlAlma13]

I use them in between salon visits and I really love them. I use Essie all-in-one top & base coat with it and They've stayed on for a month and some change. Before I started using the Essie as a top coat, I didn't use anything besides the DD Red therapy base seal & They wouldn't even stay on for a week.

[@kS-yw6sg]

Very helpful review, thanks! Just bought two pair, including the one you tried on this video, at five below. Can't wait to try! 🤗 Have a great week everyone! 🌺

[@D_Phlebnursingstudent]

Thank you for this video I just got mine today at Sally’s beauty. I was so excited about getting them but I wanted to make sure I was applying them on right and your video made it so easy for me to follow thanks again 😁🙋🏾‍♀️

[@rogojo9853]

This video is going to assist me with learning how to apply them. Very helpful! I too just purchased one package at Ulta, and Ulta sells the pre pads too.

[@bobbi12781]

I have a few packs of these waiting to be applied, but wanted to make sure I was doing it right so of course I came to KZbin! Very helpful. Looking forward to trying these.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

I'm so glad!💗

[@deniseherud]

i'm new to this type of polish so ty for the tips 💗 So far i'm not super stoked for my hands--i think i prefer my regular gel polish. But i adore these for pedis!!!!🥰 I hate the multiple layer of gels you have to do, and curing time..ugh--So these strips are amazing!!! Just slap them on, trim and done. So much easier and faster!!! Plus i can change them up whenever i want, and bonus there are strips tiny enough for my tiny little baby toe nail. I'll have to practice to get my hands right but i already am loving how cute they make my toes look. TY so much for great tips!💐

[@samariab332]

This video was soooo helpful! I can't wait to apply my gel strips! Thank you!

[@earenc]

Can’t wait to try these sometime! I’m amazed at how long they lasted and how great they looked!! Great tips!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

I think you’d love them!! Thank you for introducing me to them!😘💕

[@kellimccormick4474]

LOVE these so much! A friend introduced me to them back in March and I have not stopped using them. I will say the ones I order online are easier to apply than the ones I got in the store. I don't know if the strips sitting on the shelves makes a difference or what, but that has been my experience. I highly recommend ordering them online. Also Aqua's Beauty Nail Strips and Nails Mailed are great options. They wear down faster than Dashing Diva, but are also a few dollars cheaper.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

I’m so happy to hear you are a big fan of these too!! I actually ordered a few designs from their website so now I’ll be able to compare to the ones in the store. Sounds like you may be on to something there! I’ve not tried those other brands but will have to check them out. Thanks for the tips!😊

Yes, filing down kinda seals them better

I absolutely love these!..on my 4th set now, and I finally have the knack of using them..also... I do use a base and top coat...also..I do my thumbs last, so I can use them to help get the other strip on other nails

[@helenam529]

Do u use gel base and top coat or regular?

[@bgtsy]

These kinds of nail stickers are so perfect. I have trouble with tips I think I’m filing too vigorously. If they’re still sticking few days/week in you can fill in the base of your mail with a couple dabs of glitter nail polish to hide the line of demarcation. Thx for sharing!

Ulta and Sally’s sell them too! Also I find that using a Uv gel top coat and curing in a lamp for one minute. They last even better! I’m a dog groomer so I need that extra strength.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Thank you for this comment. I was wondering if this was possible

[@donnapeterson1945]

Thank you....!! Exactly what I was looking for!!!

[@chrisie1995]

I agree. I use a gel topcoat too. I'm a nurse and the hand sanitizer breaks down the strips. Using the gel topcoat to seal them makes them last a least 2 weeks for me.

will the light from the curing lamp age the skin on my hand?

[@tranquility9325]

It's always best to start from the pinky. This way if you need your thumb, you can have it available. Also, once you put the strips on, use the rubber cuticle pusher to really press the edges down on all sides. Finally, for longevity, you can use a gel polish on top to seal the free edge and to give extra shine to the strip. Make sure the gel doesn't need to be cured under the UV light unless you are using semi cured strips.

[@gabbyvalenciano5956]
