NAILOG Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips 20pcs Long Lasting Nail Polish Strips│Buy 3 Get 1 UV Lamp│Salon-Quality Gel Nail Sticker, Nail Art Wrap Kit with Glossy Gel Finishing│Aurora

I usually do polygel nails but wanted to try something that would hopefully be easier and faster to apply, but still durable and pretty. Unfortunately I just don't like these. They felt too thick and even though I tried curing for a long time, they remained sticky. After around a week some of the pattern rubbed off which didn't look nice either, and they began to peel off. I don't think I'll try again and will stick with what I know works for me.

I was the girl who every 2 weeks would get a gel mani. Did it for 5 years. After a new nail salon and horrible nail fungus almost destroyed my nails I stopped going. I hate polishing my nails. Plus after one or two days its chipping. I loved the durability of gel and how long they lasted. Saw an add for semi cured gel nails. Why not try them?? I bought an LED lamp and gel top coat. OMG!!! These are even better then a gel mani!!! Super easy to apply. Gel top coat and in 90 seconds done. Start to finish took about 30 mins. They lasted 2 weeks. No chipping. No lifting. When I did take them off I didnt have to soak them. Just scraped off. No damage to my nails!!! Another bonus is for $30 a month I can do my nails. Half of what I was paying! I will never get another gel mani anyplace but my house!!

I finally took the nails off after 24 days! I was waiting to see how long these would last before getting a chip. And that was day 23 for me (chipped finger not in photos). This is my first time using this brand and I'm HOOKED! Incredibly easy to use. Went on so easy, lasted thru 6 hours of pool swimming each week- I'm so used to the chlorine eating away my painted nails. Camping, gardening, hand washing dishes. LEGIT! I'm not used to my nails being long with all the practical things I do so I took them off since I'm ready to cut my nails down. Zero damage to my nails. What else can I say about this glorious product!?

I have used a few other brands of semi cured gel sticker nails and nailog is my favorite. I have been using them exclusively for almost 2 years now and can't recommend them enough... I even got my mom hooked on them. My favorite pattern is aurora and I have purchased it several times. I have short nails and I can actually cut each sticker in half and use it for 2 nails instead of one. When I was first applying them I would get 2 to 3 weeks out of them but the more you use them the better you get at the application. They can last me 5 weeks now (maybe longer) but the regrowth starts to look weird so I have to change them out when you can see too much natural nail on the root. They never chip and the only thing I've noticed is at the 3rd week they may lose a bit of their original shine (esp the solid colors). They make my nails feel so strong and I can even say my nails are much healthier after I started using these vs getting a gel mani at the salon. The reason I think this is the case is because they don't damage your nails too much when you remove them. I actually noticed by the 4th time I removed them I had almost no damage at all. They are super easy to work with and are forgiving so you can stretch them to get them to fit just right. Nail prep is key... I always clean up my cuticles before I put these on so I can stick them super close to the cuticle. after I stick them on, I use the wooden cuticle pusher to push the sides down really well before I cure them. I notice when I take my time doing this, they don't peel up at all and my hair doesn't get stuck in between the sticker and my nail (my pet peeve). The designs are really nice and I get so many compliments on my nails when I have a fun pattern on.

The review below is for my order of Aurora Borealis nails however the red and glittery nails have an issue where the glittery ones do not stay on, I've had to use up all the glittery ones in about a week replacing them.They're still perfect over 2 weeks later! They are amazing and I'll get 3-4 manicures from this one pack. Take care when you're applying them to do it correctly and these last! I used a rubber cuticle pusher to really press the strips to my nails all over before curing and I cured it longer than it says. Absolutely love these and have received many compliments!
