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

I wanted to take a break from press-on nails/nail glue so I bought a few packs, Cream Moss (a beautiful dark olive green), Candy Blood (cool sparkly drippy style for Halloween) and Einspanner (patterned white/espresso combo). I read a few reviews for instructions and also purchased the Ohora UV curing light (which is plenty powerful for a such a small thing) and the gel top coat. I knew nothing about how to make these nails work, but figured the prep would be similar to press-ons. My first effort with the Einspanner style stunk: I lost three nails in less than 8 hours. Second efforts was infinitely better. Here’s what I learned: 1. Shape your bare nails and buff; 2. Put on high spf on your hands to protect from the UV light; 3. Use a nail dehydrator or acetone polish remover to dry out your nails: this is a crucial step imo. I used the alcohol pad that came in the box from that first set I tried and several nails popped off in less than a day; 4. Place the strips and press firmly into your nail with a tool that won’t put creases into the gel, and be sure to spend time on area around nail bed to reduce potential hair-snagging. Unfortunately, I put a couple of creases into the Candy Blood nails, but they weren’t too noticeable because of the sparkle; 5. Trim the strips down to your nail. I discovered you can allow for a tiny “lip” if the strip to go past your nail tips, but not much more than that or they might curl slightly up unnaturally after curing; 6. Cure nails twice as long: I hit the button twice, dunno if this actually helped but didn’t seem to hurt; 7. Filed cured strips into shape; 8. Applied Ohora top coat and cured again. Overall, when you prep correctly the strips are awesome. They allow your nails to grow in, and removal is pretty easy and undamaging. The Candy Blood nails lasted 12 days and I didn’t have any snagging. The green nails have lasted 8 days, but a few nails are snagging my hair, which probably means I should do a better job pressing down by the nail bed before curing. I prefer the solid green color to the brown patterned nails I tried first because they sort of looked like they were printed, not terribly so but maybe a little I’m looking forward to buying more of these and also trying other recommended brands!

N Cream Leaf color-- These were very easy to put on and did not get dingy during the time I wore them. They do get caught in your hair after about 9 to10 days, though. They aren't that transparent- I don't think I can see through it at all as a matter of fact. Dashing Diva makes these nail stickers that you don't have to cure and they're kind of thin but also durable. I like these better. These ones are thicker but comparable if not the same as the ones by Dashing Diva that you cure with the lamp, so just choose what you like. I like Ohora's colors better and am willing to pay a little more for colors I like. I did have to cure them three times in order to get them to be shiny The way they're supposed to look. I would say that for the money these are a very great quality. As far as functionality goes- I can definitely do everything that I could do before I put the nails on. I type on the computer for many hours a day and they didn't bother me. I wash my child's, I make dinner, I pick up little tiny earrings just fine . I do like my nails very short and have never tried them with longer nails. I hate it when my nails are long. It wasn't hard to find the correct size to fit my fingernails and I have quite small nails in comparison to some, especially thumbnail. This color is absolutely beautiful and matches a lot of my wardrobe. The photo that is attached is probably day two or three and I forgot to get a photo of anymore. However, I know for a fact that these nails lasted me 14 days or more. I had to take them off because they started to look ridiculous. My nails grow really quickly and they had been looking kind of silly for a couple days before I took them off but only because my nails grew out.

I've been through a million nail products, all the way back to silk wraps (Yes, I'm old.) I am finally absolutely delighted without reservations. This is my second time doing semi-cured. My shaping isn't going to win any awards, but they are so easy to do. They last 2+ weeks (I did one layer of Mefa gel topcoat when I applied them and then another a week later to freshen them up.), and most importantly, they don't damage my nails when I take them off! I was very dubious. I've trashed my nails with no chip and gel and dip powder and glue ons and sticker-ons. These somehow stay on well, but come off easy. It must be witchcraft. Whatever, they're my new favorite thing. I like that they can be stretched a little bit if a strip isn't quite wide enough or, like me, you have a crooked nail ("no honey, that your nail!" = truth) that needs a little extra on one corner. I also easily cut like half a millimeter from one side to fit my thumb perfectly. I give a lot of attention to the edges, pressing them down hard with the flat end of an orange stick, and then going back and rolling over the edges with a good amount of pressure on the side of the orange stick. Then I press/roll the orange stick from the cuticle to the free edge, overlapping passes, to smoosh and smooth it over the nail. This dulls the strip, but it doesn't matter because my top coat shines it up again. I can even cut these a tiny bit longer than my nail - not much, I wouldn't go as far as an extension - but it helps to even them out of it have a shorty or two. I used a glueless press-on to help shape it, putting it under the UV light for a few seconds and then rubbing the gel strip with the press on to get it in shape, then under the UV light again. (See my 3rd picture, it's hard to describe.) Then I did a layer of topcoat on the underside of my nail, sealing the free edge to the strip. (Remember to wipe any excess off your skin - the pointy end of the orange stick works well for this - or it will burn the blank out of you under the UV light!) Plus, there's enough in the package with the right sizes for me to do another set. So the price is only half, per set. I just save them in a black sleeve in an airtight zip top bag. I decided not to do accent or mixed nails - again, old - so I have a whole glitter set from this package waiting for me, and 5 more of this dark purple ombre I can cut or stretch if I need to replace any. They feel as strong and secure as gel nails, but they're almost as thin as no-chip over natural nails. I'm in love.

I do like these a lot, but leaving this to set expectations. For me they last about five days. Less hair snagging than heyhae brand. Easy to take off, no damage to nail. Good value at $9 and change. Application was easy! Sizes were good! Had hair snagging on day four and nails chipped on day five. Overall for what it is, works great, mostly as described. Nice color. Looks great!

These nail strips have changed my life! I cure them then add a layer of clear gel polish on top and they last a minimum of 2 weeks! Love all the colors and how easy they are to peel and stick on! Just cut, cure, and file. Will use these all the time now!!

I’m not a nail girl. Thick gel nails or press ons have never been my thing, we just don’t get along. I’ll paint my nails but the paint chips within a day or two. I decided to try these out to see and they are fantastic. Easy to apply, lasted me two weeks AND I got a ton of compliments on them. They looked amazing especially for someone who is clueless and impatient when it comes to things like this. Picking the size to fit your nail is pretty easy and they’re pretty solid once cured. You can pick them of relatively easy so if you’re a picker, these will either be great (with a good nail strengthener so you don’t damage your nails pulling them off) or drive you crazy (because you want to pick them but remember it’s not acceptable to show up somewhere with 10 nails and leave with 4.) I’ve ordered a few more colors and I really enjoy the easy confidence boost it gives me as a young mom! Helps me feel more like myself in this busy season of life. I will recommend doing them away from your toddler who is obsessed with stickers… That one is at your own discretion.

These are the second time I’ve used a gel nail sticker like this. They apply easily, they look great, BUT they aren’t durable. I had 2 pop off within 4 days and then several chip by day 5. Polish pops are far more durable, but I don’t think they apply quite as easily as these. I think these are great if you’re in a pinch for something for an event.

This is my first time using this brand and this neutral color. I’ve had them on for 5 days now and this is what I am seeing.. They started as a nice nude pink color but they’re starting to yellow and fade from the original color. I had a previous set on from a different brand that lasted a full 14 days, and they did not discolor. The fit is also a little off for my nails- particularly the thumb sizes. I was in between the sizes provided for two of my nails, leaving the fit not perfect. No one would notice, but there is a gap between my polish and nail, but the next size up was too large. They were easier to apply, cut and file compared to other brands. They are a little thicker and feel stronger when they have been cured. However- I am seeing some scratches and small chips at the tips of some of the nails- I have not seen this with previous brands so soon after applying. They are sticking well and I have not had any issues with snagging or peeling as yet. I am hoping to get another week out of them but I may remove earlier due to the color change I am seeing in the nails. Overall the brand has a great color selection and I enjoy using them- expect discoloration with some of the pastel and lighter colors (just like salon gels or dip nails)

Il prodotto sembra ok, poi vedremo . La consegna purtroppo scandalosa con poste italiane . Pacchetto buttato in terra fuori dall'ingresso e dichiarano -consegna effettuata alla reception- nessun rispetto !

Bellissimi è la prima volta che li applico e il risultato è stupefacente

Terrible quality… I have been doing my nails with other brands for ages long time and my manicure has always lasted 2 weeks, I tried this ohara nails for the first time and lost my first nail after two days… also they feel very thin and fragile compared to other brands. i won't buy them again

As a long time user of this type of product, I must say that these are especially terrible
