UPDATE AFTER TWO WEEKS! As you can see by the second photo my nails still look great. This is after cooking and washing a lot of dishes and pots and pans!! Had a compliment yesterday that my nail were beautiful. The lady was surprised to hear they were Gel Nail Strips. I am thrilled to know I can save $50-60 a month by using these and still have my nails looking beautiful. ORIGINAL REVIEW I am very impressed. These gel nail strips work very well. This photo is after they were on for a week. As you can see there are no chips or pulling away from the nail. I cook a lot and my hands spend a lot of time in dishwater. I even had to scrub a pan after letting some beef stew scorch. I do not like wearing gloves so my hands were bare in the dishwater. The nail strips were not difficult to apply. Since it was my first time to use them, I did learn a few tips to make it easier and more like a salon manicure. First, make sure your nails on both hands are all the same length. Mine were a little shorter on my left hand than my right and it shows. Second, use a cuticle remover to soften your cuticles and gently push your cuticles back all around the nail so the nail strip will slip under the cuticle. Be sure you wash your hands with soap and water and use the alcohol pad so the strip will properly adhere to your nail. Before I removed the nail strip backing, I held it over my nail to make sure I had the proper size. Once you have the strip properly centered on your nail and right up against the cuticle (I had to carefully remove a couple and recenter it) use the wood stick to smooth it out all along the edges. I also smoothed and rubbed it with my finger to make sure it adhered properly. Use a pair very small sharp scissors and trim the excess off the nail leaving about one-eighth inch. Then press and rub the excess down around and under the nail. That made it easier to gently file the excess off. After using the UV light for 90 seconds, my nails were done to perfection and I saved a ton of money and a lot of time using the nail strips. I am going to give the gel strips for toes next. Good luck!!

Application was pretty easy. Definitely worth it especially for the price! Gets the job done. Will continue to buy.

These are thick and very difficult to get to conform to the shape of your nail. Because of this, they lift very easily. I may try heating them before applying to see if that works.

These nails are really cute, i was told they last for about 3 weeks, 1 nail lasted 1 day, it started getting soft and not sticking to my nail. The fit wasn't snug. The durability wasn't the best saying when i was knitting they bent. The application is good but it took longer then expected for an easy application. The design and colors are adopted.

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!
