super nail Nail Bandage Instant Nail Repair

This is so much better than I expected! I wish it had been my first and only purchase for my terribly broken toe nail. I had been struggling to protect a toenail as it has been growing out from an accident approximately 6 months ago. I wanted to ensure that I didn’t lose the nail completely so that my toe was protected as it grew out. I tried silk nail wraps which worked okay but these are so much better! They are completely clear, layer well, and basically conform to the nail. I didn’t realize they were meant to be permanent so I tried to remove them with acetone to replace (not because there was anything wrong but because they had been on for two weeks and I just assumed I needed to be) and they wouldn’t! They were basically a part of my nail now. Such a great value!

I'll give it one star & that is being generous. I had a nail crack & I tried this product. It is very easy to get on - just pick out one of the little clear self-adhesive ovals, press on the nail and your done. Problem is that it is quite thick on the nail. The biggest problem is that they don't stick for very long. I washed my hands hours after I applied this product and it came right off. Very disappointed!

There are different size oval shapes on the 3 sheets.. They are really small, and I'm confused why they are shaped like nails while they would only cover a nail for a little kid. It's only for the crack, but even that could be bigger than the largest size. It worked for me, putting on the biggest one across (horizontally) over a big open crack I suffered from a car door. It looks much better than a bandaid and holds longer. I've been wearing the first one for a day now, and it gave my freedom back. I can wash my hands, or my hair without it ripping my nails off, I can finally reach into my pockets safely, hold a towel without entanglement... I put a little clear nail polish over it, but I don't think that's necessary. I'm really happy I found this product.

The first time I tried these they were much more sticky and lasted through multiple hand washings. Thesenot good anymore. Only for an emergency until a professional repair.

I almost didn't buy this product because of the mixed reviews. I'm glad I did though, because it's exactly what I was looking for! I keep my Nails longer (usually somewhere around 1/4 inch), but have constant issues with my thumbnails cracking just below where the nail separates from my skin. This results in either me snagging it on clothes and other fabrics constantly, or trimming it off at an uncomfortably low length (which then often results in me trimming or biting all my other nails down because I can't stand them to be uneven). These little things are just what the doctor ordered to fix this issue! I got a split in my nail last Tuesday and tried this out in the evening. It says you can use it on bare Nails, or over / under polish. I didn't want to adhere it to my bare nail, so I buffed the area of the split, put a base coat on (Essie protein base), let it dry, buffed lightly once more, then applied one of the smaller bandages on top. I was careful not to touch the sticky part with my hands while I was putting it on so I didnt get any oils on it. It's now Monday and I've since put one on my other thumbnail, and painted my nails overtop the bandages. They are just now starting to peel away, but I'd say a solid 5-6 days isn't too shabby! I've had just as many showers, countless hand washings, and was even doing some manual labor over the weekend.These come in various sizes, but I tend to only get small cracks (1/8 - 1/4 inch at most), so I'll most likely trim down the larger ones to get more use out of them. I'll definitely be keeping a supply of these on hand!For the people who had them fall off quickly, I would be sure to use the buffer to file the nail slightly before applying. After buffing, wash and dry the nail thoroughly. You may even want to take a quick swab of rubbing alcohol across to pull out any additional oils that may be on the nail.

Exactly what I needed

Did not stick to nail for very long.. started lifting within a few hours.

I have used artificial nails for at least twenty years, but quit when we couldn't get them done during the pandemic. Because of all those chemicals, my natural nails have been a mess...thin, some with ridges, and some that keep splitting. I have been very happy with this product. I find it works best for me if I put a polish base coat on, then use the strips, then put a base coat on top. They last for a long time that way, and I feel like I am giving my damaged nails more time to improve without added colored polishes. The strips are truly invisible if they are used properly. My only complaint is that, because I have small hands and tiny nails, there are only a few of the tiniest ovals that fit my nails, but I have found that I can cut the larger ones in half, and still use them. I have two nails that have splits that would just not heal, even after months and months, but by using these "nail bandages" I can cover the entire weak area of my nail, and really give them a chance to heal, instead of always catching them on fabrics etc and ripping them again.They are truly a great product for splits or breaks in your nail, or for damaged ones like mine. They really give your nail a chance to grow and heal, instead of continuing to break.
