DANNI & TONI Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips (Astral Dive) Metallic Gel Nail Wraps Klein Blue Glazed Donut Nails Mirror Nails 28 Stickers

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this product, but they are really easy to apply (and remove) with some cute colors/designs, perfect glossy finish with no worries about messing up wet polish, and zero nail damage… this was my second round of buying these gel nail strips. They’re pretty easy to apply, small learning curve, but I felt pretty comfortable with the process by the third diy mani (and I have never used any other nail color strip before, honestly haven’t painted my nails in 5 years or more). I’ll reiterate a few tips I came across that were helpful: 1) really pay attention to matching the size of the strip to each nail. My nail widths aren’t completely symmetric. 2) Do not skip doing a light filing of your nail surfaces with the fine side of the emery board provided to get good adherence 3) Really press the top edge of the gel strip firmly next to the cuticle with the angled flat stick provided or one of your own, I have a rubber one that I prefer - I had to trim a few of the strips at the top to get a perfect fit. 4) Clip or cut the gel strips a little bit longer than your nail with nail clippers or scissors and then cure them before filing to get a smooth edge. I found they file nicely after 1.5 to 2 cycles of light curing. They hold up pretty well as long as you’re not doing anything crazy (my current set are a bit scratched up, though only a bit, after I spent two hours trimming a new pool cover with my nails frequently scraping against the concrete). I have long hair so usually by day 4-5 I notice my hair is catching on the cuticle edges of the strips when I try to pull my hair up in a ponytail from my nails growing out a little. The gel strips typically are still adhering well and look fine, but I usually remove them around the 1 week mark bc the hair catching thing drives me crazy. Plus I like trying out new designs. They really are easy to remove as shown in the video on the product website and there is no nail damage. Just a bit of gooey adhesive that comes off with acetone or rubbing alcohol.

These nail wraps are totally worth the price. They come with a variety of sizes...plenty for 1 manicure--2 if you're lucky enough to have nails that fit the given sizes, or are patient enough to cut larger sizes down to fit your nails. The wraps are very easy to put on: choose size, unpeel backing, center it on your nail, press down and smooth out with the provided stick, cut off excess with the provided nail scissors, cure 60 seconds with lamp, then file to perfection with the provided nail file. Everything you need for this gel manicure is included in the 1 little box! Once cured, the nails are really sturdy. I'm hard on my hands (typing all the time, household chores and odd-jobs, don't always wear dish gloves) and these nail wraps are in it for the long haul!

I have brittle nails and wanted something to protect them from splitting all the time. So they were easy to apply and looked cute. My only issue was the sticky underside remains sticky after so the underside of your mail collects dirt and gunk, which is unsanitary. They also don’t fully harden so any length you have is flimsy. So I ended up trimming them all the way down to the edge of my real nails and just used them to protect my nails instead of having longer nails. So I think these are great for a night out when you want pretty, long nails for a night or two but not for every day wear.

These nails are TOO THIN and NEVER hardened to a stiff texture. They still bend after cured (as you can see in my picture), and I tried curing them for 90 seconds 4 times in a row. They bent at finger end where nail sticks out past finger with VERY LITTLE pressure and stay bent over. If you hit them so they bent backwards, they pop right off or tear right off. And they come off by just pulling on them lightly without hitting them even easier than regular press on nails.I tried even putting a gel nail polish on top and curing it to stiffen them up and again it didn't firm them any harder! If they would stiffen, I would try a nail bonder to at least get them to stay on.Someone needs to prefect these because they are really good idea and easy to put on compared to all other types of acrylic nails on the market, but they don't work yet!The color of these is great they really look professional and real! The idea of sticking on and curing is great too, so much better than the gel you have to form on top of your nail, which I can never get to stay on, which also break off at the finger end.I waited too long to try them and then to return them, so I will be throwing them away. It sucks I didn't try them sooner, but I was saving them for a special occasion I was using them for, so I ordered them early to make sure I had them in time for the event. Now I am out $17.99. Don't waste your $.

These lasted 2 weeks with no chipping at all when I put 1 coat of gel topcoat over them and were super easy to apply. The kit even came with cuticle scissors which I did not expect. You’ll need isopropyl alcohol with these since the wipes included are only dry wipes, not pre-wetted ones like other brands usually have. These were softer than Ohora brand wraps and so were easier to stretch to fit my nails. My only complaint is that the color in the photo of the product didn’t match the real product. The dark ones in the picture looked wine red and were actually warm brown. The lighter ones in the picture looked blush pink with gold glitter and were actually off-white with gold and copper glitter. I wore them anyway and they were still gorgeous. I didn’t have to remove them until my nails grew out too much but they still looked otherwise fresh on the last day.

I normally purchase this brand of semi-cured gel nails. I like the fact that they are pliable and I can stretch the nails to fit. The largest ones have to be trimmed because they are too large for my thumb and big enough to fit on my great toe. This particular set initially lasted me for 2 weeks, but when I went to reapply the glitter nails popped off within one day. I'm not sure if they were dried out or if it was an issue with my application. I will still continue to use this brand. I just wish they had more designs that are appropriate for a professional setting.

They take some skill to apply. Make sure you trim them to your current nail length. Once applied my lasted for two weeks before the edges started to lift and catch on things. I used acetone to remove them.

I received this product yesterday. So excited to try them, put them on as instructed looks ok. However I already have two nails that have broke. Not durable.

These DO NOT harden and peel off! I had them in my lamp for over 8 minutes and still soft. Peeled off easily. What a waste. Concept is great, maybe if you need something really quick. Don’t waste your money or time!

Love them! Easy to use , comes with small kit of scissors, file, and nail wipe …kits are so easy to use and I love the look and they lasted very well 😊 would definitely buy again

I was skeptical buying these because of mixed reviews so I thought the only way to know if they worked out was to try them myself !1. As mentioned in other reviews, the cleaning pads come dry but I'm not really sure they are needed ;2. Very easy to use, although if you're like me and don't have anyone to help you, cutting the strips with your non-dominant hand can be a little challenging haha ;3. I work in a hospital and need to wash my hands very often (hand sanitizer and or soap and water). I've been wearing these for only a day but they seem to hold on strongly and nothing has moved or been scratched or chipped ;4. I did need to cure them a little more than 60 seconds. I did 90 seconds, filed them and then cured again for 60 secs ;5. The finish is very shiny and beautiful. Had many compliments and people asked if they were salon nails ;6. If anyone is wondering if you can keep them longer than you natural nails in order to add some length, in my experience the answer is no. The part of the strip that isn't applied on the nail won't harden as much as the rest that sticks to your nail.Hope this helps anyone with questions !
