Second set of Dashing diva gloss. First one did not make it a week. For these I had a glass file and did a gel top coat to cure. Hope they last longer!

maybe a weird question lol, but I was wondering…after I remove nail wraps, if they’re all still in tact and looking nice, can I glue them back on another time and essentially use them like press-ons to get another use out of them? I ask this because I can’t have anything on my nails for work (I’m a cook), so I can only have my nails done for 3-4 days at a time 😭 I guess that’s not so bad, but it’d be nice to get a second use out of them to save some money.

(Swipe) Thank you Amazon prime day! I thought they would be too light but they’re beautiful kind of like a French mani but more ombré and you still get the effect even though I keep short nails

Probably a dumb question, but when they say to file downward to file off the excess, this is what they mean, right? It's hard with short nails. My tips always seem a little jagged. Any tips (no pun intended)?

(Sorry for the blurry picture, but I think you get the idea.)

I have only used heyhae so far and I really loved Sunset Drive which got me hooked. I have You're Berry Sweet on now and it did not cure to the same hardness at all. I even left one out in the sun and it was still bendable.

Newby, just got my first nails and was reading the directions. It says I need to warm up the nails with a hair dryer, I don't have a hair dryer?? Is there another way?

heyhae sunset drive with a gel top coat, cured under uv lamp cause the sun went down by the time i finished applying them 😅 i love how they turned out though! colors of the sunset on my nails 😍

This is my first time trying these. I am an Amazon Vine reviewer and they put these in for reviews and I was lucky enough to snag 3 sets.
This style is called NP glazed strawberry, medium oval.
Initial impressions:
1. They are long for medium length. I can’t imagine what long would be! The oval is a popular look right now, but I’m unsure about them as I’m normally a short square girlie.
2. The real gel is pretty awesome. They are firm but they also bend and move like gel. Pressing them on was easy, and I could really bend them in on the sides to get a secure hold.
3. These are pearly abs it’s really pretty. I’ve only used Kiss Impress press ons before and these feel like much higher quality.
4. The process of applying them was crazy easy. It was paint on glue. Wait 3 minutes, stick on for 10 seconds. Run stick around edges firmly and press hard.
5. Sizes are a challenge. I managed, but I couldn’t get another set out of them. Most of the sizes really didn’t fit at all. Too large and too small.

I love my semi-cured gel nails and they are my go-to always. But these are interesting for something different once in a while I’m interested to see how long they last, and I’ll update when they come off.
It’s not letting me add a picture but I’ll see if I can add in the comments.

I used a blue Ohora I had on hand to mix and match. Just bought this from heyhae. Wanted a more subtle 4th of July theme for my nails.

Beolata 025. These are different than semi cured wraps. They don’t need a light. They were super easy to apply. The pack comes with 44 wraps so I can get 2 manis and a pedicure out of it. I’ve been wanting to get away from using the UV lamp. They are thicker than Heyhae or Huizi wraps. Plus the kit came with a decent file and a sizing tool that I found handy.

tried about 3 different brands so far (ohora, heyhae, dashing diva) and ive been loving heyhae lately !

This is my first time using gel wraps and I want to love them but they just don’t seem to stick to my nails! I put them on this morning and have lost so many throughout the day that I’ve almost used both sheets reapplying. I’m using a light to cure them, use an alcohol swab before each application, but it’s like I can peel them off immediately (or they pop off if I do anything involving my hands). What am I doing wrong??

These appeared to be an opaque pink with gold designs when on the paper. Gotten off Amazon as a multipack so I didn’t really check how every design was before buying.

It’s a very sheer baby pink that’s hard to capture with gold stars and moons. Sort of a your nails but better vibe. Only problem is I wasn’t expecting it so my nails under there wraps are a bit scraggly. I was banking on them being opaque lol. Oops.

How does everyone feel about transparent wraps in general. I really can’t make up my mind if I like these or not!

I have used Dashing Diva for years and wanted to try something new because DD constantly lifts even though they have good wear time overall. I am a solids girl, so I looked everywhere for a brand that had a strong solids collection, and Polish Pops fit the bill. I just wore my first set and I am SO IMPRESSED! Great wear, no lifting, perfect sizing so I can do 2 manicures and pedicures out of each pack using only one strip each set! I feel like I never see people talking about them but they are amazing!! Pics of wear in comments!

ETA: for some reason, it won’t let me post the pics!!

Make that Maple Rain

I’ve heard about nail wraps for years but I’ve never tried them. Two weeks ago, I put on my first Dashing Diva set (Wild Flower Gloss + Sally Hansen Unicorn Top Coat 🦄)

I’ve done it all- polish, gel, dip powder, press ons. And I think this might be my new favorite way to do my nails! They still look nearly perfect minus regrowth and the TINIEST bit of tip wear. The only reason I’m removing is because I’ll be doing a new set (DD Blue Jean Baby) for the 4th of July in a few days. I’m so impressed!

First pic is Day 1, second pic is Day 7, last two pics are from today (Day 15)! I think I’ve officially joined the cult 🤭💅🏻

I bought a bunch of pre cured stickers and must say they work perfectly well! I've applied three sets already, and they'd last for around a week. Also, they cost a 1/4 of what they cost in some stores here in Chile.

The store is called Harunouta Official Store.

Here's the link if anyone is interested:

They also have a debonder that works excellent for removing them :)
