ohora Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips (N Basic Nails no.3) - Nude, Glitter, Works with Any UV/LED Lamps, Salon-Quality, Long Lasting, Easy to Apply & Remove - Includes 2 Prep Pads, Nail File & Wooden Stick

I have very weak, splitty nails, so I can never grown them, or if one does actually get past the nail bed, it's so weak that it's useless, and just splits and snags. So, I've always had to wear acrylic nails, etc. But acrylics, dips, gels... all use a super-glue type product and do so much damage! I've even had some snag and tear part of the nail off down to the nail bed. OUCH! But now I've found these! I find them very easy to put on and they last at least a week. When it's time to take them off, they just peel off with no damage! Yay! My method is to put on all the stickers of one hand and smooth them down to the nail, then cure, THEN clip and file. Then do the other hand. This allows them to finish a little longer than my own nails. If I am careful to push the cuticles back and not get the stickers on top of them, I have no problem with lifting. Pro: EASY! Last a week. Look very nice; natural. Don't destroy the nail bed. 2 full sets per package. Con: Doesn't last 2 weeks like other "fake" nails. Will lift and snag if you place them on top of the cuticle.

These are great quality and super easy to apply. I would file them vs cutting them to size because it’s a cleaner look. I apply the strip, bend it over my natural nail, file off the excess, lightly shape, cure and then do a final shape with the file. They are super comfortable, shiny and seem very hard after curing. They look like professional acrylics. I used two different colors in this pic and they look great together.

I work a lot with my hands with mom life and I also play guitar so I needed something that will last and not break my bank. I had seen ads for these for a long time and I finally caved. I was so fed up with my nails constantly chipping but I wanted to have prettier looking hands. PROS: a great solution for long lasting nails, especially with how busy I am day to day. This package comes with two full sets for basic wear (short nails) or Point wear. And the designs are so beautiful!! Cons: As I said above it does come with two sets for nail length BUT there are limited sizes available and I have to pull from each set different sizes to get a full set on my nails. I have wide nails and it was very limited especially with my thumb nail size. (i have man hands like my dad). Another con was there are 4 designs and this makes it very difficult to have both hands match because of how the nail sizes went. (so each nail will have a different design in weird order) I'm okay with that but this might be a problem for the ladies with OCD or are more specific with design placement. Application takes a little time as you have to make sure you put the right size on and you can't peel the sticker off your nail and try to re-stick it and expect it to stay on your nail. the adhesion is more of a one time stick. I did one nail at a time just to make sure it was done right and would last. I HIGHLY encourage investing in the ohara pro glossy top gel to go over the strips once you've cured and sanded down the strips to your nails. be very careful though, I learned the hard way if any of the top gel touches your skin it will burn you under the UV Light. This set lasted me a week and a half before showing that they were starting to peel up from the nail and removal was super easy at that point. Overall though, I do like this product and I do plan on continuing to purchase this product.

My nails get brittle & break off easily when I repeatedly get gel manicure. It became so bad that I had to stop doing my nails to let it grow out (I hated having bare nails). I’ve been seeing Ohora for a while and thought I’d give it a try. I’ve tried the glue on extensions but they kept coming off so easily. I didn’t have high hope. It turned out these are much better than the type you glue on. Mind you, they will occasionally come off but not as easily as the glue on type. Also if you keep them longer than your natural nail, it will chip off more easily because they are not very strong without your natural nails. But I love how these don’t require filing off your natural nails & don’t make my nails brittle. I’m sticking to Ohora from now on. I’ve ordered a bunch of them already & will be ordering more! <Pros> * Easy to apply * They do last ~2 weeks (but a few might come off & you may need to replace them) * Fantastic patterns that can’t be accomplished by regular manicures * They don’t make your natural nails brittle because you don’t need to file them off. * Professional looking nails for a fraction of nail salon cost <Cons> * You have to make sure the edges are securely adhered. Otherwise, hairs get in between when you wash your hair. It’s quite annoying * They will chip if you keep them longer than you natural nails. They require your natural nail backing for strength. * You do need their primer for better adherence. * You end up wasting the ones that don’t fit your nails. You can stretch them slightly if they are a bit narrow. But there are a few that are way too small to even stretch. They just don’t get used.

Love it. Super cute and perfect for Christmas. Easy to apply and lasts long.

They're pretty and easy to apply, but they started chipping about one day into wear. They lasted almost two weeks, but overall, I'd say they chipped in about 8 places total. Something to consider when purchasing.

I was so tired of acrylic damage to my nails. I wanted an alternative, and these nails are perfect! So easy to use, no odors, or mess. I just stuck them on, put them under my mini LED light and they were done. They are extremely comfortable and easy-to-use.

I was all excited to try these and when I received them I follow the instructions, got them on and they were all very pretty. My problem was that these tips weren't as wide as I needed them for my finger nails. I feel that I don't have wide finger nails and going to nail salons they've never said anything to me nor did I see them using wider larger tips for me. Fortunately since these gel nails are semi-cured they are pliable and I was able to stretch them a bit to cover my nail. And result looked really nice, I was actually very pleased. I went on and about my day not thinking about it but the next morning as I'm washing dishes they started to come off. I did try a second set same thing happened. My final thoughts is that these are great for parties or an event but for mom day activities (washing dishes, doing laundry general cleaning around the house) they start falling off right away. It seems like any exposure to moisture/water, I'm guessing, gets under the gel and they just start coming off. Oh! And they work well over a natural nail...but they are not thick enough to stand on their own beyond your nail. I don't wear nail tips so I could not tell you how they would perform on tips.
