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

After a really bad manicure, where the manicurist damaged/bruised my nail beds, my nails were thin and sensitive. I have used this product to protect my nail beds whilst my nails grow. They are easy to apply and shape, look good and feel natural. Highly recommend.

I used them with a top coat of gel polish and they are two weeks old and still look decent. I had one nail tip have a small chip, but was easy to trim my nail and file, good to go! I like that I get nice clean lines, better than when I hand polish.

I'm a nail biter. My nails are bitten to the quick.Previously, I bought all of the things I would need to do an at home manicure with acrylic nails. The nails, the clippers, the powder, monamer, UV light, electric nail sander, nail glue, nail polish remover, brushes, cotton balls, gel polish (the whole shi-bang) - You get the idea.I did my nails with the things I previously purchased. My husband complained ALL the time about the monamer, nail polish, and nail polish remover scent - which permeated the entire house. He couldn't stand the smell!A co-worker said I should try "Nail Wraps" - I'd never heard of those. I decided to buy these, and give them a try.I bought a cheaper Ohora one (one without fancy designs), because, if they didn't work - I'd save money.These gel nails arrived today. I put them on loooong, and decided to clip and shape them after the UV light. You can't make these nails suuuuuper long. You have to keep the length close to your original length.But, like I said - I bite my nails - to the quick. (I should've taken a before pic).I put these nails on as instructed. However, I put them under the UV light at full length. After the light (which I used for 3 minutes), I realized these nails even after being under the light, keeping them long would not be an option. The nails ends were flimsy, and were not super strong. They were very flexible, and not ideal for a long length. So, I trimmed them with nail clippers, a tad bit longer than my bitten nails. I filed them with the nail file that is included with the kit.This was my first time using these. No fumes, easy to apply, and I am very satisfied with the results. I realize from my photo, that the next time I use these I will be even better at making them appear more professional.Bottom line - I bought the cheap set (it came with 28 nail wraps), nail cleaner (which smells as if it's just rubbing alcohol), a nail file, a cuticle pusher, and another item to smooth the nail after it is applied. I chose the cheapest ones, because if they didn't work, if they were difficult to apply, or if they just didn't seem to be what I needed - no big deal.Applying these nails is extremely easy. You must have a UV light to harden them. The instructions are in a foreign language, so watching the video helped A LOT. It took only a few minutes to apply, and then I put them under the UV light for 3 minutes. I clipped them VERY short (because I am used to very short nails). I filed them. And I couldn't be happier!!How long do these last? I have no idea, but I am going on vacation soon, and hope they last at least 2 weeks.For those of you wondering if these will be wide enough for your fingers - Some of the wraps are wide enough I am considering using the extras to put on my toes.Definitely going to buy these again. And I'm going to buy the ones with designs, because...it's cheaper than going to the salon.**Edit** - I have included some embarrassing photos of how short I bite my nails. And an embarrassing photo of my toes, (some people commented that these nail wraps are not large enough to cover fingernails, and I wanted to show just how large the fingernail nail wraps are).

I will say this. They look very pretty BUT its a lot of work to put them on. They dont get as hard as you would think so I’m not sure they will last very long, but they do get kind of hard. When you file them it gets kind of sticky. Its an ok product. Much more work it would be easier and faster to just buy gel polish honestly.

These nail strips look fantastic! This picture is after over a week, and I was not gentle with them. I’m a mom of 3 littles, constantly washing my hands and dishes. You can see there’s a chip here and there but they are still shiny. I applied with a “squish light” flashlight to seal them really good to the nail. I also bought to gel polish topcoat, which really makes it look even better.

These are the best thing since peanut butter! I’ve had them on for 6 days now with hardly any chipping. Where they’ve chipped, my nail actually broke so I can’t blame that on the product. I live on a farm and work in a warehouse opening boxes all day so I’m REALLY rough on nail polish. I’ve never had anything hold up so good no matter how expensive the polish. I need to get a little better at stretching them over my whole nail when I put them on but it’s a learning curve. I will continue to purchase.

Tried these for the first time and they're still on after about a week in but they lifted at the cuticle area right away, which keeps catching on my hair. And yes, I followed the prep well and made sure they were smoothed down very well before curing. It seems like something happens when they cure so it's been annoying. They did stretch a little to fit better, though, like shown on the application video.That said, my big problem with these is the COLOR. The description states N Chilly is "flaming red chili pepper" and pictures show a pretty deeper red. Even the nail strips look red before applying. But when they were on and cured? BROWN. And they oddly seemed to get more brown as time went on. As I'm *not* a warm neutrals person and only like brown in hair/eye color and tree bark, having these on my nails and stuck out of town without the option to remove & start over, I felt really uncomfortable with my nails a yucky brown. I couldn't even find a deep red polish locally to cover them so the picture above shows the first coat of a black/silver glitter to cover the bleh brown. Ugh.These are pretty decent nail strips but the color selection is too limited for my tastes and I don't trust other colors to be accurate, especially for the price. Definitely disappointed.

These nails look great! Very easy to apply. I work with my hands alot, so I got a week out of them and they started to chip off. It is just about 2 weeks I have 2 left on each hand. Maybe applying a clear coat over to will help. Other than that, I am happy and love the way they look!

I am very hard on my nails - real and fake - and I am not coordinated enough to do nail gel paint myself. I also find when I go to the salon they make them too long or they feel too heavy and then pop off within days. I bought these to try figuring it was cheaper than anything. Wow they were SO easy to apply. And they seem to be holding up well. Heck if I get 4 days wear I am doing better than any other process! Super shiny and they don't feel heavy on my natural nails!

I fell in love with these, im on my third set.Easy to apply, easy to remove.Ive never gotten along with gel/acrylic due to its thickness and nail damage in time..They do not last a month but you can stretch them to 10-14 days. Your hair will get stuck under the edges after a weeks mark at times but i didn't find it as annoying as i thought.My nails are quite brittle but these offer just the right amount of support to let them grow. A plus is that you dont need to file your nails before use.Also i love how no chemicals touch your skin in the application process.In general just a cool interesting new way to do nails.Also colour may vary from the images, they tend to go a tad lighter in some designs.Nail size wise they do fit nicely and you have the option to cut them to size too..you will be left with some that are either too small to use depending on the person

The colour is nice. Adheres to the nail very well and cures quite hard to make nails a bit stronger. I have an allergy for gel and my hands have no reaction to this product. When nails are done it remains shiny. One downside is that it’s better to go with more opaque colour as sometimes miniature bubbles can be seen up close just like with other similar products. But overall it’s great

I love this product had these on for 4 days now, sometimes the small nail gets a little loose but I just put it back under the light and re stick it but I didn’t have much nail to start with to stick them too. I am in hospitality and one of the days had my hands in the sink all day, plus I have horses so mucking out, riding, filling hay nets. As long as I keep them to my length of my nails they stay on, tried having them a bit longer and they did harden and would be ok for a night out but not for my hectic life style. When I do take them off there is no main damage and my nails feel really strong

It’s been 10 days and everything still look good! Will definitely buy again! If you’re worried about the quality - don’t it’s great!
