Nail Pro Tests Gel Semi Cured Nail Strips. Do They Last? 🤔

[@kileystanley8088]

So the stickers are meant to have 2 different cuticles shapes if you look one side is square one side is round 😊

No actually the round end is supposed to go towards the cuticle. I do a lot of stickers.

Ahhh!!!!! I didn’t notice that before!!! Good to know!!!! 😊😊😊😊

[@mariazuniga88]

These have been life savers for me. I'm a teacher, I'm not rich. The gel strips have helped me stop biting my nails and the price is decent. I personally use Dashing Diva. They are gel strips and I have had them last up to a month. It takes practice for sure but I love all the different designs. It's fun for me. But I do splurge on gel pedicures once a month. 💜

[@NYtoNC]

Love Dashing Diva!!!

[@mab1564]

Do you have to soak them off or do they just peel?

[@Venus-bb7cd]

​@@mab1564No, you saturate the nail bed with cuticle oil and carefully push off nail color.

I've been using semi cured gel strips for a few months now and love them! Much more durable than regular polish. There are a few tricks you can use to keep them from snagging your hair. I also recommend using a gel top coat even if the directions don't necessarily call for it. They look much better and are even more durable with it. So happy to see you try these!

[@iloveladiesman217]

what are your tricks??

[@houndstoothdinosaur]

@@iloveladiesman217 You can use the pointy end of the orange stick provided to roll the edges down, or melt the edges with a bit of acetone. Search for the acetone trick or jelly roll.

[@Cattiva]

When you use gel top coat, do you then need to use regular soak off acetone because it's a gel top?

[@GuidetteExpert]

How long do they last? Are they eco friendly? Or made out of some type of plastic?

[@bluezy710]

How about you share your tricks instead of just teasing us all? haha

[@sherryskewes]

I think they are a great idea for someone who doesn't do nail art as you said or someone who changes out looks frequently! I prefer doing my own nail art and how good I feel and how proud I am of my nails when I'm done!

[@noneya1691]

Yup... me too. I also do my own so I can change designs every week. I couldn't afford to go to a salon that often and I really don't want the same design for 3 weeks.

[@breec3346]

I recently bought some of these strips I got the ohora ones and I LOVE THEM!! Never going back to regular polish or gel polish!! They last and last!!! Easy to apply and my order of doing them: find size, apply to nail, cut excess, file excess off, cure in lamp, while gel is warm press down to ensure adhesion, cure one last time, press gel to nail again while warm, and start again and do each nail individually!! 😊😊😊oh and I use acetone first to dehydrate my nails 😊

[@creedmoor8405]

Thanks for the tip! I will be trying for the first time

[@nicolajones3643]

I love them so easy to apply and I switch up regularly so makes it easy💅🏻

[@MicheleCheeseman]

I have used those in the past! Those were fun and fast! I used a brush with a bit of acetone on it around the cuticle area to thin it and shape it a bit. I had to finish with a clear coat afterward, but it did look good.

[@salleesa]

I love that idea!!

My very first time seeing one of your videos and it was wonderful. The video and sound quality was top tier. Your explanation and tutorial was clear and patient and just your entire speach and delivery was perfect. I especially love how the entire review and the update was all in one video. So much better than these horrible "influencers" who like to break things up into 3 and 4 videos for more views. i love how you gave the product an honest chance and even said the raising bit on the nail bed could be due to many variables not just a poor product. I dont even know if you'll ever see this comment but that was one of the best reviews ive ever seen and im now a subscriber!!! ❤

[@laurasmith2173]

For stickers like the one used for the thumb, if one side is too square you could try the other side if it looks more round.

[@kasie680]

They usually have a square end( for toes) and a round end (for fingers)

[@ACWells13]

I was just thinking why didn't she just flip it around so the curved side was against her cuticle :D

[@DeannaS]

I started using the Sally Hansen strips years ago. Tried Incoco strips(now Color Street). Also tried Dashing Diva. The regular dashing diva strips are ok but their gel cured ones are amazing!! Color street is my favorite for the regular nail strips. I use a UV gel topcoat over them. I can get up to 3 weeks of wear on natural & hybrid gel. You can bling them up as well. Lately I've been doing my own nail art but if you're strapped on time then the strips are the way to go!!

[@bluezy710]

Your music and your voice together are so satisfying. I felt like I was in a spa session ♥

[@monykalynf3604]

I use the cheaper stickers for toes-cover with a gel top coat-once it's cured they last for a month easy. Mine made it through 2 weeks in HI with sand, water etc!

[@PRAngelicHeart]

I’ve used these gel stripes and nail polish strips in the past when I was in bit of a hurry and didn’t have time to do a cute design on my nails. They did hold up pretty great but I experienced the same thing with getting hair caught in the strips after 7 days or so. Overall these are good to have on hand for quick nail designs if you don’t have the time. Great video !!!!

[@anthonydereck8468]

Hello Angelica 👋

[@bdctrans70]

I use to use them, both the peel and stick and the gel strips. I found that if you have an apex on your nail, they won't fit, even when you stretch them. These are made for the bare nail, not for sculpted nails. But some are better than others. It depends on the brand. But they dry out so fast. I prefer using gel out of the bottle over these strips.

[@NailCareerEducation]

I would much prefer using the gel from bottle. These are basically a hack for those who don’t want to use it from a bottle. And for those who may not have the patience for the skills to apply it out of the bottle. And there is obviously some compromise when using a peel and stick one size fits all situation

[@anthonydereck8468]

@@NailCareerEducation how do you cure them? If you don’t have a UV light, can you Make a video of some sort

[@fuzzybunny3235]

@@PsoasmusclepainApparently you can sit outside in strong sunlight to cure them but a lamp is ideal.

[@tranquility9325]

A UV squish light helps with preventing hair getting caught. Just press on all sides of the nail before curing. Also, do not slather oils on freshly done stickers (that loosens the adhesive) and I do mine before bed so that they are not exposed to water until the next day. 😊

[@Andrea00013]

[@fuzzybunny3235]

I have the Dashing Diva UV wraps on for a week now and I love them. No lifting. I did gel top coat the and seal the tips. Lasts longer. I’m a nail tech in Michigan and I started adding these as a service for my clients. I have all different colors and designs. Try the Dashing Diva ones. I get them at Ulta and Sally Beauty Supply

[@jejaramillo]

A trick to not get your hair stuck at the edges is by using acetone to thin the edges. I use a nail art brush to brush the acetone around the edges about 10 times per nail. I then use gel top coat. I also find it easier to cure the nails first and then cut off the extra length.

[@anthonydereck8468]

Hello Paula 👋

[@ManifestGirl7811]

I bought some from Amazon different color same brand. I did everything as you did with one caveat, I put a coat of clear builder gel over it after one week to seal the edges so it would not catch my curly hair. They last 3 weeks, I took them off to change the color and due to nail growth. This was an easy way to save my nails by giving them extra protection but allowing them to grow without tips acrylics or hybrid gel. Love yr channel especially helpful for someone new to diy at home, thanx Suzie and happy holidays 🥰

[@realjettlag]

I prefer shorter nails so the few times I used the regular peel+stick style strips, I'd cut them in half and reshape the larger ones and I'd get three full manis out of a pack. There was one brand that had enough for me to eek out nearly a fourth; in that case, I used coordinating polish for two nails.

[@af3893]

Love these sticker polish nails, I take the cheap ones and put an acrylic or gel/cure top coat on. Helps them last like a manicure.

I use these. All different brands but dashing diva I find at tj maxx for less than 5.00 a pack. They are 100% worth the money IMO! if i paint my nails with gel polish it peels withing 7 days. I've tried like 20 brands 3 lights ph bond many top and base coats and I can't get then to last more than 7 days.... but these last me 2 weeks. I usually change out at 10ish days because of grow out! I work in the medical field and wear gloved 7-9 hours a day and wash my hands atleast 100 times.... these last better than any product I've ever used.

[@charlenejo2490]

Yup, I love Dashing Diva. The only problem is, with all the moisture my hands are exposed to, between washing/sanitizing my hands and washing dishes, sometimes the moisture gets trapped underneath the nail strips and causes a little bit of staining or fungus.

[@XgreeneyegeminiX]

@@charlenejo2490 weird.... I literally wash my hands like 100x a day and I get none of that. I do top coat them though. I use the sally Hanson hard as nails top coat because its slower dry time so it doesn't shrink the wraps. It takes about 5 minutes to fully dry, its not to bad really.

In my experience, the gel nail stickers last pretty well even if the only thing you do is use the prep pads they provide, and you don't use any extra top coat. Some random ones I got off Amazon lasted at least a week - I took them off after a week because my nails grow fast, not because they had started to come off or anything. I think they probably would have started to lift up in another couple days if I hadn't, but again, that's with me doing almost literally nothing to extend the wear time. I didn't even push my cuticles back.
