ohora Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips (N Cream Rose) - Brown, Solid, Works with Any UV/LED Lamps, Salon-Quality, Long Lasting, Easy to Apply & Remove - Includes 2 Prep Pads, Nail File & Wooden Stick

Let me start out by saying that I have wide nail beds, my nails break / chip easily, I have veryflat nails with very little to no natural apex, my nails have a moderate c-curve, my preferred nailshape is squoval and that I am VERY OCD about my nails, a perfectionist. My nails are slightly wideron my right hand compared to my left hand by two (2) to three (3) millimeters.I typically do my own gel and dip powder nails. When I do gel nails I always use builder gel toprovide the extra strength and protection that my nails need but also to build an apex.For these to fit I have to stretch these width wise as much as I can and two broke. After stretchingthese fit my left hand fine but this is not the case for my right hand leaving the free edges of mysidewalls uncovered (and by the same amount in which my right hand nail beds are wider by inrelation to my left hand nail beds).Now this could be due to the fact that these are applied to my nails in which I built up using abuilder gel to form a nice apex, overlay not extensions.Shaping the product couldn't be easier! I did use the included file but found myself switching to my100, 180 and 240 grit files. Instead of using the provided wooden cuticle stick I prefer to use myplastic cuticle stick with a silicone edge on the angled side. In both cases while pushing theproduct to cover as much of my sidewalls as possible I noticed that the product does dent and leavessome marks from the tool used. Similar situation for trying to thin out the line at the cuticle edgeas well. With that said imperfections are not even visible after curing the product.I don't have their curing lamp and use my curing lamp which cures absolutely everything inside of 60seconds. But I cured these three (3) times just in case. These cured very, very well.These are very easy to use and I think these are great for anyone that either just doesn't want tofuss with the more involved traditional gel or dip powder nail processes or just wants to befinished faster with a new set.I pressed these down prior to curing VERY hard on my cuticle line leaving a very small gap and theystill look like fake / false nails are on. Maybe I used them incorrectly? Perhaps I should havestretch them out along the cuticle line lengthwise? I don't know.Did I spend less time applying these than doing my own gel or dip powder nails? Absolutely.Did I achieve the polished / finished look I desired with this product? Yes, except for my cuticlelines and the slight gaps along my sidewalls in which the product is just too narrow for all of mynails on my right hand.Was the time I spent applying these worth it with the final look versus gel or dip powder nails?Yes and no due to cuticle lines and sidewalls.Should this product be updated to accommodate wider nail beds? Yes.Is this product easy to use? Yes.Would I recommend this product? Yes, provided that you don't have nails beds as wide as mine.

I have used a couple of these before and I love the O’Hara! They are always easy to apply and so many colors to choose from. They are very durable and usually last me 2+ weeks. Sometimes the edges near the cuticle will start to lift sooner than I’d like so I just put a coat of clear nail polish back there to seal it! They look classy and like real gel! Very functional for my everyday which include lifting weights and even rock climbing and I haven’t had any chipping.

I REALLY wanted to love these! The colors are fabulous but the product is so disappointing. I’ve tried 2 different packages and both times within a day the nails started chipping and popping off randomly (when sitting still or typing). In both instances I had to replace at least 4 nails within the first 3 days ☹️ I do not have this problem with any other brand and I take my time putting them on to ensure a quality application. It’s such a shame because the colors are truly gorgeous 😫 Such a bummer. Their colors are the best.

First time purchasing these and they were a little tough to tear off my nail when applying but I used nail clippers and then the file it came with and it was fine just took a little longer. But once the nail strip is on it stays put! I’m still wearing them a week after putting on as shown in the pictures and they barely show any wear almost like the first day I put them on. I will only be taking them off in a few days to swap out the colors. I like the color and design options so it’s easy to mix and match and there was still plenty enough to do my toes too! I love the gel style shine this set has and the right amount of thickness to feel comfortable but good quality. They’re a little harder to apply and remove than other brands I’ve tried but also doesn’t peel or crack as easily.

I’m not a girly girl. Nail polish and i are not besties. It always comes out looking horrible as if my 4 year old niece did them (she could probably do better at painting my nails than i, to be honest) and getting my nails done at a salon is too expensive. Figuring these out was amazingly easy, and after having them go through my daily routines (work, shower, etc), every nail lasted through it all and there is no sign of them coming off. My favorite part is they are not like press on nails. They were easy to apply and before doing all my nails, i tested out the removal process after curing it. They don’t pop off like press on nails do and because of the glue that press on nails use, it can sometimes hurt. Instead, they peel off (but go slow). Also, after curing the nails, getting them to the length i want, and shaping them, they felt just like my actual nail.It’s ONLY been a day but they are feeling like they are here to stay. I will be buying more, especially for special occasions :)

This is a great option if you need your nails done for a specific day/event and you don’t have time to go to a nail salon.They are easy to install and they hold perfect for one day, after that you will see how they start to break, breaking my own nail in the process.The colors are amazing but like I said, this works as a short term solution, don’t expect to have them intact for a couple of weeks like regular Gel and this will not be a cheap option compared to going to a salon

Super easy to use. My favorite part is how fast this is to get a nice looking Mani. I usually do dip at home but it’s messy and takes a lot more time. This may be my new go to! Also obsessed with the green!
