I like the premise behind these gel nails
✅ better than my one polish/painting as no matter how correctly i do them, the polish breaks off by end of day
✅ love the different patterns & aesthetic for any occasion
- the end do hold up nicely / I usually find my nails chip so easily but once these are cured they harden nicely.
-trimming the ends was easy after curing (i found because its too sticky/flimsy when not cured). But in my pics you can still see some chips off the top. So not fool proof.
-only takes 60s of the lamp to cure them.
- i like that the led lamp is minimal coverage (still some tho so still need spf).
Update/ one thing i tried with a diff color set was apply them & cure them on the fake nails and THEN glue the fake nails on. But tbh its still frustrating working with the stickies. You can push out the nails on the sheet but then you’re still holding the tiny nail to trim etc. but just advice if you’re planning on trying ☺️
🚫 didnt like how flimsy they are (they come on this flimsy plastic sheet and nails are too close together without a good variety of sizes to work with, so you have to really carefully peel it off and try not to damage the gel and found even if i held down firm everywhere and then cured, it would still lift on the edges).
🚫 hard to get used to application without tearing some of the adhesive to begin with before curing (you only get 2x of each nail size which made it difficult to learn with over painting with gel. 📸 shows the gaps because the 2 sizes i could work with, it wasnt easy to handle or needed on a diff nail).
🚫not a big fan of the UV light in durability but also exposure like a tanning bed (need to wear spf on hands which then gets difficult to lay the adhesive down without scraping off spf & you cant have any oil residue for these to stick)
🚫 i thought these were like acrylic fake nails but they’re just like a sticker that you then need to cut or file to your own shape (this is difficult because of the base it comes on is flimsy and the nails are too close together). Not enough universal options to work with. Seems more geared for slim fingers sorta. (🎥 & 📸 if you look at the sides shows where it wasnt wide enough to cover).
- i had to go out & buy fake nails to be able to use these as my nails dont stay long without chipping lol so i found that also frustrating over just painting them or just buying designed press on nails
🚫didnt like the limited sizes to work with (only comes with 2 sizes per nail. So it wasnt easy for a first time using stickies & theyre too flimsy to trim on the base they come on to work with. Kinda like not enough options to pick the best sticky & you cant mess up because then you cant grab another. If you’re new to this like me, buy x2 sets to work with).
🚫difficult to get to stay on the nail (on the sides. Once they cure, they harden and even tho you press firmly, if it doesnt fit perfectly, it will stay lifted. I used nail glue to help but it didnt work everytime).
Would not recommend tbh
🎥📸Video shows what it looks like cured before trimming & had to use fake nails underneath as the gel lengths are more geared for slim, long nails. You can zoom in on the sides & still see gaps.
