Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips (White Checkered), French, 20 Pcs Gel Nail Wraps, Stickers, UV Light Required, Salon Quality, Long Lasting

Times are tough right now, and not only do I not have the cash to sit in a nail salon, I also don’t have the time. These nail strips are THE. ANSWER.They go on so easily and quickly — no artistic/creative talents needed, just make sure the sticker goes on straight (don’t remove it and re-stick, better to just scrap the sticker and start a new one). Some people can get them on in 10 minutes but it usually takes me around 20 if I’m doing a set like a French where lining up the strip actually matters.They cure quick — if I’m in a rush I can cure each for 60 seconds but if I have more time I like to do 120 seconds per nail.They line up beautifully to my nails — as you can see in the pics there’s not much of my real nail sticking out on the side and sizing is key.I have to tell people they’re not a salon manicure — I get so many compliments!Long wear — I get at LEAST a week with these. And when I say a week I don’t mean they start peeling, I mean maybe my hair gets stuck occasionally between the strip and nail due to natural growth. I’ve gone up to three weeks and what made me change them wasn’t the durability of the nail, but rather my natural nails growing out!Removal is quick and painless — the little wooden toothpick lookin thing brings them right up with little to no damage to my natural nail. A little buff and file and they’re ready for a new set immediately.In sum — I won’t go back to a salon when I can DIY my favorite colors/patterns in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the price in my own home. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a $10 20 minute French gel manicure advertised!Do it! Try it for $9.99 and see for yourself, they will not disappoint!

Amazing staying power. Granted, I have had two nails come off my dominant hand, but replaced easily. I likely did not prep as well as I should have since I was also enjoying a cocktail at the time, and just harder to apply using my nondominant hand. Also the dominant hand obviously gets more use. I finished off with a clear gel topper, which is probably the secret to the long wear. So easy, fast and way less money and time than getting a salon gel manicure but looks as good.

**Pros:**- **Easy to Apply:** These stick-on nails are incredibly simple to use, with no need for glue or complex instructions.- **Great Appearance:** They look sleek and polished, providing a professional manicure at home.- **Long-Lasting:** With proper care, they stay intact for 7 to 14 days, which is a solid duration for stick-on nails.**Cons:**- **Lifting at Edges:** After about two days, the edges begin to lift, which can be annoying and might lead to early removal.- **Color Change:** By day 5, the white parts of the nails begin to yellow, detracting from the fresh look they initially have.**Final Thoughts:**These stick-on nails are a quick and convenient option for those looking for a temporary manicure. While they deliver a great look and last for over a week, the issues with lifting and color change over time may be a drawback for some users.

They looked really nice (I had the French tip style), but when they came off about 2.5 weeks later my nail was severely damaged. Prior to using this product I had no nail separation. This one nail is clearly not in good condition.I found a good YouTube video from a nail expert that explained how to treat nail separation, so if you experience this I recommend looking that up. It is possible that this gel nail product has strong chemicals and it may be that the chemicals penetrated the nail bed, which could be the problem here.Apparently if you can’t get your nail to reattach in a timely fashion, it may be a permanent condition. I will have to watch it closely to be sure there is no fungal infection, steer clear of allowing this nail to become and stay moist, and also avoid nail polish for months to heal this nail. This will not be fun.I will not be using these semi cured gel nails again obviously. Once my nail heels (likely months from now) I will go back the powder dip nail kit, as it was working fine for me overall.Hope this helps someone!

I purchased these nail strips last month but wanted to see how they wore before writing a review. Holy Toledo do these things have some staying power! I applied these on Feb 21st and they are still looking good (just don't look too close at the grow out. Lol) Usually my thumbs are the first to chip and both are still holding strong. There's slight wear at the tips but it's hardly noticeable. I took these pictures today (March 14th) Now that I've tested these things I'll definitely be ordering more.

I really wanted to love these semi-cured nail strips because the idea of an easy, salon-quality manicure at home is super appealing. And while they do have some great qualities, there were a few things that left me a little disappointed.First, the pros: The designs are gorgeous, and the strips themselves are flexible and easy to apply. I love that they have that real gel look without the mess of liquid polish. Once cured under the lamp, they feel sturdy and glossy, just like a fresh gel manicure. Plus, no dry time—huge win!Now, the cons: I found that the edges didn’t always fully adhere, no matter how much I pressed them down or how carefully I applied them. After just a couple of days, I noticed some lifting, which was frustrating. Also, removal wasn’t as easy as I expected—they claim to peel off gently, but mine left behind some residue and made my nails feel a little weak.Overall, they’re a fun alternative to salon gel manicures, but they’re not quite as long-lasting as I’d hoped. If you’re okay with a shorter wear time (maybe 4-5 days max) and don’t mind a little extra effort in application and removal, they’re worth trying. But for me, they didn’t quite live up to the hype. Would I repurchase? Maybe—but only if they improve the adhesion! 💅✨

Good but bad. The nails fell off the first day dm had to ouch the back on and every 5 minutes or so the would get more like a sticker but they where sticky!!!
