I feel like you keep moving your hands fast so we cannot tell they aren't sticking on the edges. Could we hold with a cuticle pusher until it holds? These do not look as good or easy as they have been presented to be... We'll see.
This is by far the best video instruction for the application of these. I just opened a brand new strips pkg and the whole set wasn't in there. I bought these through a gal I don't know. I'm so sad. I have no idea how to get in touch with her.
I tried applying a clear coat and the strips all pulled away from the edges of my nails. The clear coat definitely does something to the strips so I had to stop doing that. However what I have done is touch up using glitter polish. I order cupcake polish from cupcakepolish dot com and match it up to my cs strips. They make so many colors toullnaleays find a match up for your color street. This is what works for me after the first 5-7 days I touch up with the glitter polish. Cupcake Polish is super glittery. So you only need 1 coat on the tips only. And I mean only on the very tip of your nail. A little pricey for $13 - bottle but they always have specials. And you save a lot!
I'm a Color Street Independent Stylist. Clear coats should be applied at least 24 hours after you apply Color Street and not all brands of clear coat are going to react well with Color Street. I suggest using a different brand of clear coat or getting our Clear As Day strips. If you have any questions ask your Stylist and I'm sure she will be able to help you further.
@@Shellyj107 it does help, you will have to wait until its cure to do so, I would wait an hr or so before applying it. and make sure its a good brand one, OPI, Out the Door, and there are a few others.
So glad I saw this video BEFORE I bought solids. Now I know to skip on Color Street - The first nail you did on camera came out okay, but that second one looked ratchet.
Very nice video. I paid $44 for 4 different ones and I ended up throwing out half of each package because I only do my fingernails and I m make each strip cover 2 nails.
Why throw it away? I seal mine back up with my straightener. I’ve reopened some 6 months later and they were just as good as the first day I opened it.
@@joeking1011 I was advised to place my unused strips in the freezer then take them out and let them set to room temperature when I'm ready to reapply.
Joe King what a bummer you threw the leftovers out. I taped the edge up before I learned about the flat iron. Being that whatever the sleeve is made of seals with heat. We can reseal them with the flat iron. I got me a mini one from a friend that is perfect. I’m sure a curling iron would work as well
I've never had two prep pads in my packs
Me too!
Agree they last better to always crease under then good topcoat on top & free edge
I am a stylist too -- I love how you describe the stretch and smooth! I love this video!!!
New stylist here - thank you for this video!

Thanks!
It was a pretty good video but kept going off camera. Thanks, this will be my first time trying them!
yea she kept moving her hands too often. Not able to really see how they set.
Great tips 👍🏽TY

I was wondering about that. Do you think adding a base coat would help?

The important bits aren’t in camera frame! 😖 but you get the general idea.
The key is to stretch before you press down. Nice tips though.
Big Thumbs up 👍🏻. I neede this so much. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber & rang the bell🛎. Please let’s stay in touch. 💕

it looked ratchet? What do you mean by ratchet?
@@cherylboinske3411 ragged or crappy. But, I disagree. All it needed was a bit of smoothing with a rubber tipped cuticle pusher and some mild warmth.
I honestly find... if I do them at night, the next morning once they've set they look awesome!
@@ZoloThoughts Agreed! The 'saran wrap fairy' comes during the night and makes things all smoooooooth! I love it!
I'm guessing S,S, meant "wretched"

Your hair straightener? I never thought of that. Thank you

@@RachelSantiago816 ok thank you I will try that if I get them again.
