ohora Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips (N Pixie Dust) - 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 absolutely fallen in love with semi cured gel nail strips. I had previously been doing my own gel nails for 13 years. It's very time consuming from start to finish to do gel polish. Removing the old, prepping, painting, curing - it's like a 1 to 1 1/2 process to do it really good. These semi cured strips have made it into like a 20 to 30 minute process. Plus, there are cute designs that you just can't get with paint (at home at least). Removing the old is fairly easy with this brands removal solution. Then a quick nail prep. Putting on the new stickers, curing and shaping. So easy! I use a gelish nail lamp and it works great. My favorite part is if I have one break I can just throw another one on in a few minutes. In my picture I've had these nails on for 9 days, but the pointer finger broke, so I put a new one on, hence why it's closer to the cuticle. Overall, I'm a life fan of these. I don't foresee myself ever going back to gel polish.

The only thing I don't like about these gels nail strips is that their pictures on amazon don't show the actual nail strip color very well. Besides that, I love them! They are super convenient, easy to put on my nails, and very long lasting. I can get my manicure done in way less time than using the dip powders that I used to use. Even though I got pretty good with the dip powders, the gel strips end up looking much better and have lasted longer for me Thant 2 weeks. I've removed them to change the color before they came off on their own. I love that they are better for my nails than the dip powders and my nails are growing out stronger under the gel strips. Before trying this brand I bought the brand in the local beauty supply store. This brand is way better because of more consistent quality where the gel strips come out of the box very flexible and easy to shape to the nail. Even if the size is a little smaller than the nail, it's very easy to stretch the gel strip and cover the nail and it's still just as strong after using the UV light. Also this brand is way better because my hair never catches or gets pulled by the edges of the nail because it doesn't have those edges. I've found the positives to be consistent after several orders and recommend these gel strips 100%

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.

These are my favorite! Out of all the nails I’ve tried from this brand I love these one. The color is beautiful with gold flakes and a gradient apple skin look. There’s a water drop on the thumb pieces that tend to come off over time but you can file that area easy and keep wearing the nail. Lasted about 2 weeks before I had to remove because of chipping. Make sure you cure for about 2 minutes on each hand for best results. Amazon please keep these in stock.

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.

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.

I feel like these are more work than they should be. I had to cure them multiple times and they’re still a little bendable. After I started filing one nail it broke off at the middle. Some of them don’t fit the nail bed all the way. I made them a little longer than my natural nail hoping they would harden. They’re over all just ok and worked for the time being. I’m going to stick with the press ons vs this.

I’m really puzzled by these nail strips getting only 4 stars. I’ve used color street nail polish strips that don’t require a uv light for curing for about 3 years and I’ve just grown so tired of them making my nails peel at the tips time and time again no matter what I do after about 6 days. I don’t want to be changing my polish every 5 days. I reluctantly started using these with a tiny uv light and I just knew they wouldn’t work. To my delight they really do work, and they last and last. This picture is after 15 days of wear. The tips haven’t peeled or lifted up in the least. My nails are very thin and even with color street polish strips my nails would bend backward sometimes when doing housework but these strips add so much strength and a really nice thickness to my nails without being overly chunky like with acrylic nails. I really love these and I’m finally done with nail polish strips. I even bought a bigger uv light to help cure the strips. It’s well worth the extra step for the hardness and strength. After 2 weeks the nails haven’t discolored or distorted at all. I work with young kids so I wash my hands many times a day with harsh soap and I use hand cream after every wash. This didn’t hurt the nails at all. The only thing I can say even remotely negative about them is that after about 10 days the end of the stip by the cuticle gets exposed as the nail grows out and it’s not flush to your skin any more. That part has acted like a trap for my hair once in a while in the shower or when I’m pulling my hair into a ponytail. It doesn’t pull my hair out but it’s a reminder that I need to change the nails. Changing them is simple. Make sure to soak them off in nail polish remover and DO NOT peel them off of your nails or it will take a significant amount of your nail with it. These are just amazing and I’ll never go back to the salon for gels or acrylics and I’ll never be a slave to the 6 day polish strip game, and my nails can finally be strong and pretty. I’ve bought a couple more different colors and I’ve even put these on my toes. I just used the ones for your fingers on my toenails and they have lasted 25 days + without any peeling or lifting. I’ve trimmed my toenails with them on and filed the corners and they still look great. If I could give more stars I would. Just make absolute sure you have a uv light or these will not ever harden, and you need to expose the strips to about 1-1.30 min for them to cure completely depending on the wattage of your uv light. I started with the weakest smallest light and used about 3 cycles for each nail. These were truly a game changer and time saver.

Terrible quality. It is not at all worth the hype. It does not look good either.

Went on a trip for 2 weeks where I was in either in a beach or pool for 1-2hrs at a time and they stayed on the entire time! Didn't lose a single one and none cracked. They weren't hard to apply, and when it came to removing, it was pretty easy too!

Saw a version of these on tiktok. These are pretty, but unfortunately they started to chip, break and split after two days. They also don't lie flat with the nail so my hair constantly got stuck under the edges. Was also frustrated with the instructions on the website. Video said curing times vary with each design but then didn't tell you what that time was!

bad quality

Pleasantly surprised. I use gel trips often but always go for plain colours and patterns. Had the perception that the glitter ones would be thicker and not last as long. This totally wasn’t the case they lasted just as well as any others and are perfect for a festive look.
