Dashing Diva Gloss Nail Strips - Desert Quartz - UV Free, Chip Resistant, Long Lasting Gel Stickers - Contains 32 Wraps, 1 Prep Pad, 1 File

I have used two sets of these Dashing Diva nail strips. They were relatively easy to apply, no wrinkles or bubbles, but application was slow at first, as I didn't really know what I was doing. The first set lasted 9 days, with minimal chipping, and I removed due to nail growth, which moved the strip up on my nail and away from the cuticle. I found that removing the strips with cuticle oil took longer than putting them on, but will share a quicker way of removing them in Tips, below. I used a second set in a different color scheme, after watching various videos and reading tips online. The second set lasted 12 days with absolutely no chips! And I only removed due to nail growth and shifting of the strip away from my cuticles. These nail strips are a great alternative to home nail polish or salon application. They are so pretty. I genuinely believe that the finished product looks like you had your nails done in a salon. My home manicures, even gel manicures with a UV light, only last for a few days, so it was great to find a product that is easy to use and that actually lasts for more than few days. Tips: -Be sure your nails are clean, smooth, and dry, and that the cuticles have been pushed back. -After placing the strip, file the excess strip downward (not side to side), this will leave a better edge for coverage at the tip of your nail. Practice helped me with application, the first set I used was good, but not perfect, due to my learning curve. -Be gentle when filing the excess strip, use a one-way downward filing direction, as sawing back and forth makes the strips edges rough. -I started filing the excess with the provided rough emery board, but finished removing the excess strip with a super smooth glass nail file, which resulted in much smoother edges on the my nail tips. Rough edges can lead to lifting or chips. -Once I had everything smooth, I put on a layer of top coat polish, being sure to cap the tips of my nails. -I found that a quick soak of my nails in a small bowl of water/dishwashing soap was a much better (and quicker) way to remove the strips. I let the nails soak for a minute or so, then gently lift the edge near my cuticles. When I meet resistance, I dip the nail back into the soapy water for a bit, then gently lift more of the strip away from the nail bed. This was much quicker, but you still don't want to rush through this step, and yanking off the strips could damage your nails.

I love these nail stickers! Easy to apply myself and I’m 65 and have arthritis in my hands. They stay on for about 2 weeks and easily peel off without damaging my nails. My nails are soft, split and chip easily and never grow but these stickers protect my nails and allow them to grow. I love the beautiful variety of colors and specialty designs. Great price, so much less expensive than a trip to the salon.

I am HARD on my nails. Even gel manicures. I LOVED these (essentially) nail stickers because they LAST. Do be sure your nails are prepped, be careful when filing the excess sticker off, and cover with a good top coat. I was so excited to have cute nails for nearly a month (replaced a nail or two during that time).

It was not Crystal Clear. It was more nude. The excess material after application was not easy to file off.

Cute. Comes in 2nd to color street strips. Affordable mom nails.

They come off quickly if you wash your hands frequently

I have the most thin brittle nails. I chuckle when I see people actually needing a nail clippers. I'm happy if they're just a little bit of a nail. I've used many (I may have a dashing diva problem!) of these nail strips over the years. They definitely last the 14 days with each. I'm a nurse constantly washing my hands. They never dry out unlike color street strips. Extremely easy to place. They do have some wiggle room to stretch if you have fat stubby nail beds like me! Great color options. This is a different color set but 9 days of wear.

I love Dashing Diva nails , I had bought them in person and I love how long they last and how beautiful they look and they had never disappointed me so far . This is my first time buying them from Amazon and at first I was happy that I got them earlier than expected but then I found out they are not the one I ordered. They are different. The one in the picture is not the one I received. This is why I left only 4 Stars .I will keep them because they are pretty but I will not buy them again online . these nails I prefer continuing buying them in person like I always had done in the past , like that I can see what I ' am really getting. They last me more than 14 days but I haven't try these ones yet so will see how they do . I hope they are the same quality like my others ones from Dashing Diva that I had bought in my town. They are very reasonable in price though and save me money . I ' am just disappointed they sent me the wrong one ..

These are terrific, easy to apply, look professionally done. I have had them on for 3 weeks and still look decent. Have used this product a few times, different colors. My go to gel strips.

I was pleasantly surprised

Great product

I have frequently used this product and always had good results, along with lots of nice compliments. This supplier has added good value to my purchase.

My nails are like shale. These press on strips are easy to apply, durable, retains shine, long wearing adhesive. Easy to remove without damage to nails. Would order more if the price of the product was reasonable. Also, delivery was expensive. Walmart carries only 3 colors for $11.99. Great alternative to salon nails at a huge fraction of the price. They did include a gift of a $12 major brand lip gloss which was a nice surprise
