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

I definitely recommend these! Easy to apply and last a while. I’m very picky with my nail stickers and these ones definitely pass. They’re pretty and good quality!

As a classical pianist, my hands are constantly in the spotlight, so having well-manicured nails is essential. After four years of doing my nails at home, I found that I had over-drilled my nail plate, and my nail tech suggested I take a break from the gel/drill cycle. However, I still needed a polished look, so I decided to try Ohora gel nail strips. I am so glad I did!These strips are fantastic because they don’t require a soak-off or drilling, which is perfect for giving my nails a break. After going without nails for two weeks, the stress on the tips started to show. That’s when I bought the Ohora strips, and they’ve been a game-changer. If you’re careful with the application, they save about an hour compared to the gel nail process, but it’s still not super quick if you prep your nail plate properly. My routine involves scraping and cleaning the cuticles, buffing with a fine grit (finer than what’s in the kit), and then cleaning the nail. After that, I apply the strips, trim, cure, shape, and finish with a topcoat.I also use my own professional supplies, including an acid-free primer and a no-wipe topcoat, taking extra care to cap the tips. The result? My damaged nails feel reinforced, look presentable, and even if I change them weekly, the cost is still half of what I would spend at a salon.I’m planning to use Ohora for the next eight weeks before transitioning back to hard gel. Thank you, Ohora, for providing a fantastic solution for damaged nails that doesn’t require excessive exposure to acetone or drills! Highly recommend for anyone in a similar situation.

FIRST IMPRESSION: I didn’t expect too much and just wanted a fun manicure for a few days at least. So I followed a video tutorial in one of the other reviews that was very thorough. I made sure to rough up my nails, alcohol wipe them well, and didn’t move the sticker too much on my actual nails before curing. Looked really pretty upon first application and next morning. I had a mixture of lengths at exactly my real nail length and then a few a couple mm off the free edge to do a small extension. Full disclaimer, I work in a lab where I wear gloves all day and wash my hands often. This could definitely play into why my nails didn’t last very long (with the sticker alone). If I put extra things like a special base and top coat, then I could extend longevity. I would suggest not doing any minor extensions with these so they can last a bit longer. Really seal the end of your nails so they stick.The morning after application, I noticed slight chipping on the under side where I made small extensions. I had cured the undersides of my nails regardless of length. The actual glossy top coat layer remained in tact. I later noticed that clear coat lifting off my left ring finger.For removal, I ended up picking off the lifted ones. This did not damage my nails. I was only left with the adhesive residue. These don’t come off in one piece if you do that of course, and I wouldn’t recommend peeling them off regardless.Overall, fun little experiment and first time trying but because I work in a lab and my hands are always damp/wet/hitting things, I don’t think these work well with my lifestyle. I’ll give 4 stars for application, design and look (very glossy, doesn’t look cheap and is a great short manicure), and easy removal without damage. Leaving out a star because they couldn’t withstand a day of wear and tear but for someone with a different lifestyle I can see these being perfect. I will probably go for press ons so I can at least reuse the nails or actual gel for when I want a hard and long lasting manicure.

**I will reassess after I see how long these stay on. The bare pink color is so pretty, it's light and neutral. Application, trimming (recommend you do trim to pretty close to what you want your final length to be), and filing are pretty darn easy. I will say, I cured the hell out of these nails once they were on - 60 s per nail and a few more rounds to grow on. Not sure if that has anything to do with how well they will stick on or it's just nail hardness but I had time to play so why not. I scraped the tops of my nails with the file and used the alcohol wipe as prep. What I like is when I push my fingers into the table, it doesn't feel like my nails want to pop off like with stick on/glue on nails. It doesn't feel like anything at all which is great because while I like fake nails, they are super distracting to me. What is odd is that the nails will bend beyond your finger so I'm not sure how anyone who kept these long, doesn't have warp-y nails. I recommend before you start curing you run something under the un-cured nails to shape them. Then reshape again after cure #1. I cut mine so they were just beyond my fingertips as I have no nail length and didn't want a lot, and I can still see warping. I'm hoping these won't damage my nails and will stay on long enough for me to grow some of my own (my nails peel very easily). I would consider these fun for a night out or just because, and definitely not professional looking or as strong as a dip or acrylic. My second image, you can see an example of bending on my ring finger.**Well, my final assessment is that these are cute, fun, and good for a night out. Again, they warp and mine were super short as you see in the photos. The first nail fell off today (not even 3 days). The others peeled off easily. Such a shame these don't last as they are very comfortable.

I've tried a variety of nail dashes/ stickers and I'm really excited about these. SUPER simple to put on and feel high quality. I'm especially stoked to finally have found some that are a set of all one color (and a really pretty one) instead of an assortment of patterns that aren't my style. Lastly, the sizes of the stickers fit me perfectly and I'll get two uses out of the box, which is a great deal!

Very impressed with product 1 week in and still looking perfect!

Good alternative to a manicure, they look good and are easy to use

I followed the directions through the QR code on the box and they popped off after an hour, seems like a waste of time as I had to glue them back on

Love how easy it was to put on and how it cured under the uv lamp for 2 minutes and I had perfect nails!

Loved the colours but sizing is of hard to find matching sizes for each hand. Didn’t cure properly at tips so left gaps. Hopefully will last one night but will be removing next day.
