| 20 Exquisite Gel Nail Polish Strips w/Application Accessories - No UV/LED Lamp Required (Black & Sparkles)

Very good product! I’m so glad I found it. It’s been three days and they’re still holding on perfectly. They look so shiny, and I’ll definitely be buying more.

I wanted to love these so much! As a professional cleaner, I’d love to get my nails done but always use wraps instead because it’s money down the drain (literally) after a couple days. I had never heard of this brand before but was so excited to try them - even the packaging states “thicker, tougher” and I instantly purchased. The shipping was quick, the packaging is sleek and the design was beautiful. That’s where it ends. I put these wraps on, on a Monday. I followed directions to a tee, even showering before I put them on to avoid direct heat for 12 hours (as the directions state) Two hours later, one wrap already had a scuff mark. I hadn’t even made it into work yet! Though I do clean and my nails take a beating, I always wear gloves at work. So, there is little to no direct contact with any cleaners or water with the exception of hand washing. By Tuesday afternoon, a few more nails were peeled along the top. One wrap had even chipped on the corner, something I have never seen before with wraps. I removed them only 5 days after putting them on. They were just awful. Every single wrap had either peeled, chipped, scuffed - you name it, it happened. I purchased a cheap Amazon brand nail wrap at the same time I purchased these. The cheap Amazon brand, which I used prior to these - lasted 2 weeks!! Save your money, prettier and “tougher” is clearly not any better. I can’t recommend this brand at all - not even for a quick weekend wedding or date night. Poor quality, high price for the poor quality and an absolute waste of time and money. Cannot recommend at all.

Very easy to use. These feel stiffer initially than a popular competitor, but were easy to file and shape for the nail. I have short nails and struggle with the tips lifting from similar products, but not Tough Girls! I also have trouble with picking and the sensation of something on my nails - I have tried dip, gel, polish stickers, with varying results - none lasting more than 3-4 days. These lasted over 9 days before I decided to change the style! In addition, I have a "toe thumb" that is hard to find pre-made items to fit. These were plenty wide! I am looking forward to trying other styles from Tough Girls!

☆☆☆Update. March, 2022☆☆☆ I wore them for 3 weeks and tried to use polish remover to take them off as stated in the instructions but that did not work. It got some off maybe 10% if that, the rest I had to just hand peel which they do say not to do but dang, these things do not come off or dissolve in solvent. It has now been two months since I removed them and I am still trying to get my nails back in shape. Brittle, cracking, splitting. You name it, I have had it happen since removing these strips. Sadly, I wont be able to purchase them again. ☆☆End Update☆☆☆ This was my first time getting any nail strips. I chose this brand because I loved their name and the design of their packaging. Upon receiving them and opening it up, it comes with all you need to get the job done. The emery board included is great quality, better than some I have paid good money for. Strips were easy to apply, though I did the first couple backwards but they still worked just fine, lol. Maybe for dummies like me an arrow or something showing which end is which, though it did make for a hilarious moment when I realized what I had done. The strips didnt perfectly fit our nails and I didnt expect them too but they did turn out way better than I ever expected and it was a fun new years eve girls night in treat and we had such a blast doing it. No strip will ever fit perfectly because of how nails are but these were great and great fun! I love their statement on the back of their packaging and I am very glad I chose this brand! I like polishes with the stuff in it so I dont know how often I will buy again just because there was just this one with specks in it but I so love them and will be a nails guinea pig any day! Its been over a week now and still going strong, cant say how easy to remove because I havent tried yet. Thank you Tough Girls!
