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

UPDATE: The last pics on the review are N Green Tea. This is a stunning set! It comes with 4 different patterns that all work together, and it is so beautiful. This might be my favorite set yet! As expected, they went on easily and adhered perfectly to create strong and beautiful nails. I absolutely love this set. It's subtle but stunning!I chose the N Glow Blush color, which is a light, semi-sheer pink with the center of the nail being a little bit more pink, followed by subtle silver sparkles that start at about the mid-nail and become more dense up to the tip.These nail strips are so pretty and subtle, but they make my nails look special. The little bit of sparkle is just enough, and they are so pretty when they catch the light. I originally chose them because I've only just started using gel nail strips, so I wanted to stay subtle with my color choices while I learn to perfect the application of the strips. But I've had them on for a few days now, and I find myself looking at them often, and I love them.This is only my third time using them as each set lasts a full two weeks before I start to feel like my nails are getting too long for comfort and change them out for new ones. they don't chip, come off, or break. They are amazing.Honestly, I am completely blown away by the ease of applying these and the professional-looking results.To remove these, I used a few drops of the Ohara remover, and I timed it last week. It took me 4 minutes total to remove the last set, and my nails underneath have never looked healthier.It took me a total of 1 hour and 8 minutes to remove the old set, cut and file my nails, push back the cuticles, put on the new strips, and cure them. So I'm not super quick yet, but I love that there is no smell, and my husband commented on this as well because I did it while we were having coffee in the morning. I found that I was quite a bit quicker doing my second hand, so I think that over time, I can get the entire process to around 40 minutes. That's my goal anyway!I love being able to do this at home with such stunning results. My nails look better with these strips than when I was going to the salon. And the value for two sets is unbelievable!Truly, I love these strips. I am not a 'girly girl' either. I work from home, I rarely wear makeup, and for the next two weeks, I will be laying new floors and baseboards with help from my dad and brother. I love that these strips make my nails so much stronger. They are not constantly peeling, breaking, and chipping. For that alone, I will continue to use them. But my nails looking crazy cute and professionally manicured is a really nice bonus! Highly recommended!UPDATE: I just tried the P Tanning Bear for toenails for the first time. I normally get pedicures at a nail salon with traditional polish, so I was nervous to try doing this myself, but it was really easy. The gel strips stuck securely, and it took me about 45 minutes total to do. A user error- it was a nice day and I decided to do my nails outside. These really do get hard in UV light, even without a lamp! As I was finishing my second foot, I noticed that they were getting hard to push into place. Then I remembered - sunlight!!! Doh! I did get them done in time, but I'm pretty sure that the rest of the set is toast. My fault! I did not even bother to use the UV light. I just sat outside for about 10 more minutes, and they are hard as can be. I've had them on for a few days now, and they are comfortable and cute, and they are staying put.I have had them on for 9 days now, and they still look like I just did them. I was a bit worried because they were curing naturally since I put them on outside, so I thought the last few nails might now last, but they are doing great and I love the way they look!

This is easy to apply and looks great. This brand lasts the longest from other brands. I wish there was a variation of size. I comes with two sets for 2 applications. But since I used some of the other strips I will only get one application of gels. Great value for money. Not thick at all.

Overall they get the job done, works fantasticly, look amazing and last for about 2 to 3 weeks.I even got compliments on this color in particular because its a nice shade and it's a little bit transparent.I used them because I needed to go to an event and didn't have time to go to a salon nor wanted to waste too much money on nails.Here are the pros, cons and recommendations:PROS:- They have some kind of layer on top that even though you use your fingers to apply, it won't leave a fingetip mark on top of them unlike other brands.- They last for about 2 to 3 weeks depending on how much work/picking you do with your hands.- The designs and quality it's really nice and it comes with a few tools for you to use.- The stickers are quite long so if you have long nails it will work just fine.CONS:- You need a cabin to cure them otherwise it won't work obviously.- They don't look professional unless you apply a top coat on them because it doesn't leave that "thick nail" look like you get when you go to a salon.- They might be a little hard to apply at first because you don't know which size might fit your nail.- The stickers are a little thin in wideness so if you have wide nails I doubt it will work on you. Even though you can stretch them, when you cure it it will shrink back a little.- When they start to lift a bit, grime and dirt will get stuck in those parts and might be noticeable. My hair would get stuck on the lifted parts whenever I brushed my hair with my hands.RECOMMENDATIONS (Updated):- I bought a 6 dollar small cabin and it worked just fine. I recommend you cure them for 2 minutes for better results, otherwise they will be a little soft or sticky.- If your small cabin has a USB cable, do not connect to the computer to use it. I realized that the UV light is weaker when connected to a PC compared to conencting directly to a socket. It was just not curing at all for me...- For a more professional look, get a gel top coat! it will be shinier and look much better and give you that "thicker nail" effect that you get when going to a salon.- After using it several times, to avoid them lifting and dirt and hair getting stuck, I recommend sealing the edges with topcoat! Specially the top part (cuticle area) and bottom part.- Cut the excess before curing because once they harden, if you cut them, they might break and ruin.- When they start to lift, BE PATIENT. If you start to pick them or lift them like I did because I'm anxious, you will get part of your nail bed ripped as well...- I got the product of the same brand that helps you remove them, not very sure if I'm using it properly but I don't really think it helps that much. Also, be careful when touching plastic when you have this product on your fingers, I feel like it kinda melts the plastic or leaves a sticky residue.- I wanted to remove them after 1 week of use because they were getting quite unconfortable. So I found that the best way to do it is, soaking them in acetone and they will start to soften and melt. It takes a while, it took me 20 minutes per hand or maybe less. You soak them, pick a bit with a wooden pick and soak them again until they start to melt and break by themselves. Be patient and don't pick too hard!This way you avoid damaging your nailbed.

The media could not be loaded. Wow! This is my new favorite color. I was worried they’ve be see through but they aren’t at all. They’re a perfect cream color. This brand really nailed it with ease of application and durability too. My hair doesn’t get caught in the cuticle line like it does with others and the nails usually last me THREE WEEKS! I’m a fan for life. These ones have been on for 6 days but I’m sure they’ll last just as long. I just had to hop on here a write a review because people should know! Also, it may just be my nail size and shape but I get two sets out of one package. Such a win!To take them off I use a cotton ball and apply whatever oil I have in my kitchen. Then I rub it over the nails and lift them off with a tooth pick. There are probably better ways but this works for me. It does do some damage to my nails but far less than any salon manicure I’ve ever had.
