Transparent

I was skeptical at first, but I’m glad I gave these a try! They’re super easy to use—even solo, though cutting with your non-dominant hand can be tricky. The strips held up perfectly through a full day of constant handwashing at the hospital—no chips or lifting. I cured them a bit longer (90 sec, filed, then another 60 sec), and the finish came out super shiny—got lots of compliments! Just note, they don’t really add length beyond your natural nails. Overall, really impressed!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE having my nails done but with inflation I'm just not willing to pay what it cost at the salon anymore. These semi cured gel strips are so easy to use and they look salon perfect. I did my toes in 30 mins and because these are extra long and my toe nails are small, I was able to complete both feet with just 4 strips. I can do my nails and feet for a fraction of the salon price and no one can tell I did it myself. Tip: If you like the fancy salon designs you can purchase decal stickers and add them like I did. These strips hold the decals well too for that added touch.

I’m officially converted! I’ll still get manicures for shaping and cleanup, but these semi-cured gel nails are now my go-to. I was initially worried about chipping and dullness after reading some reviews, but curing them under a UV light for double the time made a big difference in shine. Stretching the strips slightly for a perfect fit was another great tip—those nails lasted up to 5 weeks, while the ones I didn’t stretch started peeling after 3. Honestly, these lasted longer than many of my $100+ salon manicures. They're quick to apply, come in tons of colors and patterns, and even fooled my friends into thinking they were professionally done. Highly recommend!
