I never comment on videos but wanted to say thank you so much for talking about paper thin nails that have always been that way - I feel like I’ve finally been heard! And I love these gel strips as well!
I also have the weakest nails ever. For years I was getting the dip powder done because I wanted my nails to feel hard and have some strength to them. Then in 2020 when the world came to a halt. I ended up looking on You Tube for directions on how to do dip powder at home. That’s also when I came across the Dashing Diva semi cured nail strips. They really do work. As long as you apply them at night do not touch any water until the next morning and do not apply any type cuticle oil these semi cured nail strips will do the trick. I also watched a video on here on how to encapsulate the regular nails strips which also gives them some hardness.I hope by now you have given the semi cured ones a try. Best of luck with your nail journey.
@@dawntheagentwhocares all you have to do is apply the nail strips as you normally do. Then get yourself some builder gel and an inexpensive uv/led lap I use one of those small ones that you can fit 4 fingers under at one time. I also use the Aimilli builder gel you can get it on Amazon. I use bought the package that come with the no wipe top coat. After you put the nail strip on apply a coat of the builder gel put it under the lamp and cure once you have done that then apply the top coat and cure it as well. It truly looks amazing. I hope that helps you.
Thanks for your review. I just bought these and can’t wait to try them. I saw someone say in a comment on DD’s website that they put a coat of their favorite colored polish on before applying the gel strips which then protect the polish as well as their natural nails. I also heard you can polish the clear ones. Can’t wait to play!
Thanks for the video/review. I especially appreciate the removal part of this review bc I’ve tried so many products from watching videos and they trash my nails when I remove them. Now I’m willing to try these bc of your video.
I just tried Dashing Diva and I love the them. I tried the Glaze strips and they look like I went to a salon. When I try to polish my nails it looks like a child polished them. Dashing Diva is so easy that even I can get the salon look, They are a lot cheaper than going to a salon too,
I bought the regular Glaze at Ulta and applied yesterday and was really happy with the ease of application vs a regular polish strip. I keep my nails short and find it difficult to file off the excess polish of a nail strip. Some of my nail beds aren’t the exact shape of the strips, but when the OCD is in check 😅 at the end of the day it’s not noticeable unless someone is closely inspecting them. I’m anxious to see how long these last. Oh- my nails are also paper thin, oily, and peely and the regular Glaze made them feel quite thick and strong; *almost* as strong as dip even.
Thank you for sharing your video. I just bought a set of the glaze gel. I watch your video and you were amazing, on point in every you talked about. I will try them out.
Its the adhesive that swells with oils and acetone and turns gooey, you want to see gooey it means you gave your remover enough time, acetone takes care of it
I'm just like you i have been wearing press on for about 5 years now I can't see paying so much every 2-3 weeks. I just bought dashing Diva glaze and am gonna try, thats how I found your video glad I did... 😄
You have to make sure that you don’t get it on your cuticle (at the base of your nail) since that will be lifted and more noticeable with grow out. I always use a rubber tipped cuticle pusher to smooth the nail on, especially at the cuticle to really make sure it is stuck down.
Why does the film on the stickers not come off when I tried this? I’ve tried taking it off and peeling the film off but when I did there wasn’t anything to peel, I was so excited to try these but😭
I peel to top film off before I even pull the strip from the plastic, its supposed to help placement i think, or maybe to keep fingerprints from forming when pressing the strip down before you cure them, but its much easier to apply them without it and fingerprints self level/heal before you cure them anyways
I tried these nails and was very happy. But when I removed the nails and tried to put on a new set, I found that they wouldn't adhere around the edges very well. Probably because of all the oil I used to remove. I cleaned them with soap and water, went over with polish remover and wiped with alcohol. I am going to try to wait a day before putting on a new set. If you have any advice, please give it.
I file my down and then soak in 100% acetone for at least 10 min, I don’t use oil, so avoiding oil at all could help! I have been using these for about a year now 24/7 lol still love them
I would just get the colored line its the same, but to answer I have used gel polish over the glaze for a shimmer effect and it was only okay, they are so smooth that polish doesn’t stick well to them it lasted about a week and then started flaking off the glaze while the glaze was perfect still underneath so i just kinda scratched the polish off the glaze because it was bothering me… I suppose if you filed the top of the glaze first it should stick better, I think i will try that… or apply before curing the glaze is another idea…
Thanks so much for letting me know!! Now I’m super stoked to try it! Just did a cross country move & all the packing carrying boxes has destroyed my nails. Can’t get to all my nail stuff yet bc it packed away so was trying to find alternatives that wouldn’t further ruin my nails. Now knowing you can polish on top of the clear glaze is wonderful news
One thing I often do is put oil on my nails and underneath them. Then I put on latex gloves and go to bed. I take off the gloves the following morning, and my nails are well oiled, and my hands are very soft. When I use jojoba oil, they feel GREAT without being greasy. At any rate, I can see the oil-and-glove method as being a great way to remove the product. I bought the Dashing Diva Glaze. I haven't applied it yet, but I plan to. This is a great tutorial.
I think she means if you are quitting acrylics. Acrylics really damage your nails and make them so bendy thin and sensitive. I think it would be a good transition to natural nails for sure. They give a hardness that feel protective and eliminates bending and sensitivity, though be very patient and careful with the removal to not cause further damage because if you are not you can definitely cause damage in the removal I have pulled off layers of my nails in certain spots before I learned to be more patient and gentle
I use hairspray when I curl my hair but not that much. For perfume I like the clean brand by Rosie Jane. They have a sample pack that is only $25 and has so many great scents!
I think the difference between glaze strong and the other colored glaze is just marketing. People who only want stronger nails might just want clear or clear with a little glitter, its more the intent of the product and marketing, but the colored glaze lines are protective as well, as long as you remove them carefully! I like to file them down first, then soak in 100% acetone and then gentllllly remove with a wooden stick. If they dont come off with gentle pressure, wait longer!

Agreed! I'm obsessed with Dashing Diva too! I just discovered them about 2 months ago and LOVE!

Thank you 👏 You covered all my newbie questions 👏💕

They’re so easy!
I use these and love them. They last 14 days on me.

You should try the glaze strong in glitter, it looks amazing and covers some imperfections on your nails.
Thanks for the tip!
Can you leave them longer and paint ontop?
Thank you for sharing your video. I just bought a set of the glaze gel. I watch your video and you were amazing, on point in every you talked about. I will try them out.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Lauren! I would love a follow up on your thoughts with the color package!
Thank you for this video! You do such a great job always. My nails are exactly like yours. I’m going to try these!
Thank you! That means so much to me! Please let me know how you like these nails 🤍
Did you ever figure out what the sticky residue was when you removed them? How did you get it off? Thanks!
Its the adhesive that swells with oils and acetone and turns gooey, you want to see gooey it means you gave your remover enough time, acetone takes care of it
I'm just like you i have been wearing press on for about 5 years now I can't see paying so much every 2-3 weeks. I just bought dashing Diva glaze and am gonna try, thats how I found your video glad I did... 😄
Any tricks for how to keep your hair from getting ripped out after a little while of wearing the nails? Thx
You have to make sure that you don’t get it on your cuticle (at the base of your nail) since that will be lifted and more noticeable with grow out. I always use a rubber tipped cuticle pusher to smooth the nail on, especially at the cuticle to really make sure it is stuck down.
I just bought these today! I am so excited to give this a try! I’m so sick of the nail salon!
Hope you like it!

Can you use nailposlish over the clear base??
I would just get the colored line its the same, but to answer I have used gel polish over the glaze for a shimmer effect and it was only okay, they are so smooth that polish doesn’t stick well to them it lasted about a week and then started flaking off the glaze while the glaze was perfect still underneath so i just kinda scratched the polish off the glaze because it was bothering me… I suppose if you filed the top of the glaze first it should stick better, I think i will try that… or apply before curing the glaze is another idea…
So glad you asked this question bc I was curious about the same thing! Thanks
@@madelynn1026 I tried it and it turned out so good!!
Thanks so much for letting me know!! Now I’m super stoked to try it! Just did a cross country move & all the packing carrying boxes has destroyed my nails. Can’t get to all my nail stuff yet bc it packed away so was trying to find alternatives that wouldn’t further ruin my nails. Now knowing you can polish on top of the clear glaze is wonderful news
@@madelynn1026 yes I love it I still do it!! I would recommend using normal nail polish ive never tried gel with it!
Can you leave the nails long?
Yes
Thank you I was wondering the same thing!
How do u keep them from bubbling after a day or two?

I get it in pink color
I love it! My nails looks from $80 salon plus $20 tips
What’s the cuticle serum you use, please?
Can you paint over the clear nails?
Thanks!
Hey! I added both to my caption- one is the cuticle removing serum and one is the cuticle care serum!
Thank-you! I'm now getting ready to put the clear ones on!!
Wonderful!
What do you think of putting these on your acrylic nails as they grow out so you don’t have those thin, awful nails to deal with?
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean?

Are these nails thick ?
Nope
These did not stick even though I followed the instructions. Started losing nails within the hour :(
do you use hairspray? or a lot of perfume?
For what?
@@LaurenErro just in general?
I use hairspray when I curl my hair but not that much. For perfume I like the clean brand by Rosie Jane. They have a sample pack that is only $25 and has so many great scents!
@@LaurenErro can you please do a how i apply or spray a lot perfume video with the Rosie jane perfume? if not that's fine!!!
