These have been life savers for me. I'm a teacher, I'm not rich. The gel strips have helped me stop biting my nails and the price is decent. I personally use Dashing Diva. They are gel strips and I have had them last up to a month. It takes practice for sure but I love all the different designs. It's fun for me. But I do splurge on gel pedicures once a month. 💜
I think they are a great idea for someone who doesn't do nail art as you said or someone who changes out looks frequently! I prefer doing my own nail art and how good I feel and how proud I am of my nails when I'm done!
Yup... me too. I also do my own so I can change designs every week. I couldn't afford to go to a salon that often and I really don't want the same design for 3 weeks.
I've been using semi cured gel strips for a few months now and love them! Much more durable than regular polish. There are a few tricks you can use to keep them from snagging your hair. I also recommend using a gel top coat even if the directions don't necessarily call for it. They look much better and are even more durable with it. So happy to see you try these!
@@iloveladiesman217 You can use the pointy end of the orange stick provided to roll the edges down, or melt the edges with a bit of acetone. Search for the acetone trick or jelly roll.
I recently bought some of these strips I got the ohora ones and I LOVE THEM!! Never going back to regular polish or gel polish!! They last and last!!! Easy to apply and my order of doing them: find size, apply to nail, cut excess, file excess off, cure in lamp, while gel is warm press down to ensure adhesion, cure one last time, press gel to nail again while warm, and start again and do each nail individually!! 😊😊😊oh and I use acetone first to dehydrate my nails 😊
I have used those in the past! Those were fun and fast! I used a brush with a bit of acetone on it around the cuticle area to thin it and shape it a bit. I had to finish with a clear coat afterward, but it did look good.
I sleep with suzies videos not cuz they boring but they are just so relaxing and like meditation to me. I also watch her when i fight with my bf and need to calm down 😂😂
I started using the Sally Hansen strips years ago. Tried Incoco strips(now Color Street). Also tried Dashing Diva. The regular dashing diva strips are ok but their gel cured ones are amazing!! Color street is my favorite for the regular nail strips. I use a UV gel topcoat over them. I can get up to 3 weeks of wear on natural & hybrid gel. You can bling them up as well. Lately I've been doing my own nail art but if you're strapped on time then the strips are the way to go!!
I prefer shorter nails so the few times I used the regular peel+stick style strips, I'd cut them in half and reshape the larger ones and I'd get three full manis out of a pack. There was one brand that had enough for me to eek out nearly a fourth; in that case, I used coordinating polish for two nails.
A UV squish light helps with preventing hair getting caught. Just press on all sides of the nail before curing. Also, do not slather oils on freshly done stickers (that loosens the adhesive) and I do mine before bed so that they are not exposed to water until the next day. 😊
I’ve used these gel stripes and nail polish strips in the past when I was in bit of a hurry and didn’t have time to do a cute design on my nails. They did hold up pretty great but I experienced the same thing with getting hair caught in the strips after 7 days or so. Overall these are good to have on hand for quick nail designs if you don’t have the time. Great video !!!!
I use the cheaper stickers for toes-cover with a gel top coat-once it's cured they last for a month easy. Mine made it through 2 weeks in HI with sand, water etc!
A trick to not get your hair stuck at the edges is by using acetone to thin the edges. I use a nail art brush to brush the acetone around the edges about 10 times per nail. I then use gel top coat. I also find it easier to cure the nails first and then cut off the extra length.
I use these. All different brands but dashing diva I find at tj maxx for less than 5.00 a pack. They are 100% worth the money IMO! if i paint my nails with gel polish it peels withing 7 days. I've tried like 20 brands 3 lights ph bond many top and base coats and I can't get then to last more than 7 days.... but these last me 2 weeks. I usually change out at 10ish days because of grow out! I work in the medical field and wear gloved 7-9 hours a day and wash my hands atleast 100 times.... these last better than any product I've ever used.
Yup, I love Dashing Diva. The only problem is, with all the moisture my hands are exposed to, between washing/sanitizing my hands and washing dishes, sometimes the moisture gets trapped underneath the nail strips and causes a little bit of staining or fungus.
@@charlenejo2490 weird.... I literally wash my hands like 100x a day and I get none of that. I do top coat them though. I use the sally Hanson hard as nails top coat because its slower dry time so it doesn't shrink the wraps. It takes about 5 minutes to fully dry, its not to bad really.
I use to use them, both the peel and stick and the gel strips. I found that if you have an apex on your nail, they won't fit, even when you stretch them. These are made for the bare nail, not for sculpted nails. But some are better than others. It depends on the brand. But they dry out so fast. I prefer using gel out of the bottle over these strips.
I would much prefer using the gel from bottle. These are basically a hack for those who don’t want to use it from a bottle. And for those who may not have the patience for the skills to apply it out of the bottle. And there is obviously some compromise when using a peel and stick one size fits all situation
Thanks for another helpful video! It made me happy to spot the anniversary collection box on your table. I'll continue patiently waiting for there to be a Holo Taco x NCE Collab. 😄 What a dream that would be!
I looks like these gel strips have different curves at each end - one end seems to be flatter than the other, this would enable you to match the curve to the shape of your cuticle. Great review Suzie
A fun little challege for suzie would be to pick 3 random colors, a technique/material/extra (soap bubble nails, foil, bling, powder, ombre, oil slick, ... ) and a theme (natural, elegant, funky,...) and try to make the most beautiful design out of it. 🥰
Fell down RUclips rabbit hole 🙄searching for reviews on the GC nails, lol. Soon as I caught that you reviewed ‘em I KNEW I was going to get the information I needed✨
I have natural, not too long but really thin and bendy nails. The gel ones they cure get nice & hard and keep my nails from tearing. I love them. They usually stay on a week, sometimes a week & a half but I’m hard on my nails and type on a keyboard all day long. Also I’ve found a glass file works best.
I think these are super cool, esp for those nail emergencies, you have to go somewhere and its last min so cant get an appointment at salon, you can just apply these, also i think it can also be used in a salon as a quick sticker gel service can be charged a little cheaper. I wonder if it would last longer if you had put on topcoat? also if you can kinda file around cuticle area to make it more flush? oh my brain is just thinking of all the things one can do with these lol. thanks for sharing
You are wonderful! I did notice when you went up a size that you said the cuticle area was too square. It looked like the other end was more round. You could have turned it around.
My very first time seeing one of your videos and it was wonderful. The video and sound quality was top tier. Your explanation and tutorial was clear and patient and just your entire speach and delivery was perfect. I especially love how the entire review and the update was all in one video. So much better than these horrible "influencers" who like to break things up into 3 and 4 videos for more views. i love how you gave the product an honest chance and even said the raising bit on the nail bed could be due to many variables not just a poor product. I dont even know if you'll ever see this comment but that was one of the best reviews ive ever seen and im now a subscriber!!! ❤
These things will only stay on if you nails are already long if they aren’t already long don’t waste you time they will pop off in hours . You also can use clear gel nail polish to make them last longer
Absolutely any nail question, I know I can count on Suzzie to have the answer. Currently transitioning from my awesome nail technician to at home application and was hoping this was an option as I have hard gel in now. Thanks for the education like always❤
I just ordered the quinnas brand, have you tried them? (This is my first gel sticker buy) 6 sets and UV lamp for less than $13! Also 8 sets of toes for under $6! but we will see mainly bought the toes for my daughter to have nails (since the nail beds are smaller with toes)
Great video! I prefer polish & doing my own nail art, but I was curious to see how well these work. Now we just need someone who's clever to figure out how we can make our own gel strips able to be set aside to be applied at a later time. *That* would be cool!
You take gel polish, make a design on a rubber nail mat ir plastic wrap bag, etc. Semi cure it or if you want plain polish, jut use polish and let it dry. Then, follow the same steps to apply. 😀

Gawt Damn she has THEE single most condescending voice and tone. I’ll always come back again, but it’s quite the challenge not to skip through and leave early. No shade tho - I might just be so weak that I’m confusing her confidence for an air of superiority.
Can nail techs make their own gel nail strips/wraps? I'm searching YT for a tutorial on how to make gel nail strips/wraps. I haven't found anything so far. Seems like a nail tech should be able to make them. I was interested in making my own because I have tons of beautiful gel colors in my collection already. I'd feel wasteful if I skipped using the colors I already have and bought nail strips instead.
I love these and can't wait to try them! I just recently and finally stopped biting my nails completely. Yes I've been biting them for 41 years, but this should help me out tons! P.S where did you get those beautiful glasses?! Amazing look on you! Love the tutorials! 🤓
I bought some from Amazon different color same brand. I did everything as you did with one caveat, I put a coat of clear builder gel over it after one week to seal the edges so it would not catch my curly hair. They last 3 weeks, I took them off to change the color and due to nail growth. This was an easy way to save my nails by giving them extra protection but allowing them to grow without tips acrylics or hybrid gel. Love yr channel especially helpful for someone new to diy at home, thanx Suzie and happy holidays 🥰
When I'm feeling sad or down I tend to do self care, ie skin care nail etc. Dashing diva is amazing and helps my weakened nails. They last for so long, and even my mom can keep them on, and her nails are SUPER oily.
Probably because lots of other countries call nail polish “varnish”. Thanks for this! I am about to try mine and am so nervous. Not a nail girlie usually.
I really don’t wanna watch you because you already have nails on I’m talking about the people that don’t have nails. Why are you gonna put that over right now? That’s so crazy crazy.
I tried these when they first came out. Went through at least 10 packets. They just would not last. I have longish nails, they would peal no matter how i prepped😩
I use nail strips all of the time and have been for a couple years. I do use them over builder gel and I always use a clear gel top coat to seal it all in. They last until I take them off.
Thank you so much for testing out products like these. I’ve been curious after seeing a number of at home dip products advertised…care to give that one a go?🤷🏼♀️😊 Could it really be an option?
They’re pretty cool for people who want cute nails and don’t have the skill or time yo gain skills to do designs. I prefer painting my own but for a sometimes mani these would be pretty cute Edit: also I wanted to mention I’ve watched another nail tech/RUclipsr Tatyana Bugry do gel strips and she suggests using a cuticle stick to apply the nail strips so you’re not touching the part that sticks to your nail. And she stretches them over her nails using the stick as well. It looks and sounds easier said than done lol.
I use these whenever I want to do my nails since they are quick easy and durable (Im a stay at home mom of 1 crazy girl, a spoiled cat and 2 hyper guin pigs and I love to make crafts lol) they last about 2 weeks give or take for me even with all the dishes and laundry and cooking and more lol
i get rlly bad anxiety and i pick at my nails and my cuticles my nails are rlly bad rn and my mom is literally like banning me from everything every time i pick at them i got the gel nail strips to hopefully help with picking bc when i had acrylics it was way harder to pick at my cuticals and all i also want long natural nails without acrylics i hope these work cos i literally like have no other ideas
By stretching and touching them with your fingers, you got skin oils, bacteria and dead skin cells all over it. Kind of defeats the purpose of cleaning the nail bed before. Just saying. And for the rounder cuticle you could have just flipped it. The other end was more semi-circular.
wow i really need to try them out!!! i love doing my nails myself but also i am far from good and far from having enough time to make it a serious hobby, so i feel like these would be a really nice option from time to time! thank you so much for this video! I
Can you do a video on like proper cleaning of tools for us at home that do our nails? And how not prevent you from getting allergic reaction to product? I have been very careful at not getting product all over my skin and still got an allergic reaction after over a year of doing my own nails. Thanks suzie!!
Oh that sucks eh. Sorry to hear that. Allergies don’t have much to with not being clean, it has everything to do with yr own bodies sensitivity and uncured product - so many variables like the lamp the amount ingredients the product and how you use and incompatibilities. 🙁but yes good idea
I have some polish strips from Color Street, I find they aren't as easy to get off the backing paper, I have some on in between my nail appointments. It's nice to not have the mess around my cuticle and skin from nail polish though.
My favorite semi cured gel nail wraps are by Jelcie. They're stretchy and the strips are longer so you can get more manis out of them. Removal is very easy too.
Well this might be just for me. I always have trouble with ordinary polish drying quickly and not ruining the design in meantime. And with gel i hate it. I don't like soaking it with the acetone. I have quite short nails. I like to keep them short. Don't like long ones too much. I might just have to try these
I would recommend NOT prepping the nail with acetone as acetone will break down the gel and is really harsh to be leaving on your nail and cuticles. I would recomment alcohal the alcohal pads that are included or your own rubbing alcohal. Also, if the square shape does not fit the shape of your cuticle try using the other end or the gel nail which is more round.
Aww luv ur chanel, iv just leant polygel and 1 of mine is shaving on my hair, its gligter polhgel, never tried a system like it, so quick 😮😮, iv managed to get 2 of 5 perfect, first try very pleased, although was hard to get off, iv bn able to pull the others off easily with a dip in acidtone, and orange wool sticks
I’ve been using nail stickers from Shein with a gel top coat for durability. They’re not all created equally 😆 Some are so thin and tear easily and some are great. I tried the semi cured gel ones for the first time yesterday. Wow! The application is so much easier. They don’t curl up when you apply them, they hide nail ridges, they don’t crease or bubble. However, I never experience hair snagging with the plastic stickers but the gel ones are snagging.
Love watching your videos Suzie! I do have a question so if anyone else can answer for me from experience. I’ve been wanting to try these so bad but I am a mom of 2 boys and am constantly doing dishes and bath time and such. Can anyone attest to how well they last through the soap/water trials of motherhood 🤣
Anybody here manipulating these semi cured strips with a non gloved hand start getting an allergic reaction? I am curious to know if these are a lot less risky to handle with bare hands as opposed to getting some gel polish or gel products on your hands repeatedly.

So the stickers are meant to have 2 different cuticles shapes if you look one side is square one side is round 😊
Hello Kiley 👋
I thought I saw that too!
Thank you
No actually the round end is supposed to go towards the cuticle. I do a lot of stickers.
Ahhh!!!!! I didn’t notice that before!!! Good to know!!!! 😊😊😊😊
The best HT collection ❤
whats on my other haaaaaaaand?
🎉😊😊
Geez, the music + voice + colors + lights made this video so soothing.
These have been life savers for me. I'm a teacher, I'm not rich. The gel strips have helped me stop biting my nails and the price is decent. I personally use Dashing Diva. They are gel strips and I have had them last up to a month. It takes practice for sure but I love all the different designs. It's fun for me. But I do splurge on gel pedicures once a month. 💜
Love Dashing Diva!!!
Do you have to soak them off or do they just peel?
@@mab1564No, you saturate the nail bed with cuticle oil and carefully push off nail color.
Omg I have dashing diva and I wanted to make sure they worked well before I wore them, so thank you so much!

When you use gel top coat, do you then need to use regular soak off acetone because it's a gel top?
How long do they last? Are they eco friendly? Or made out of some type of plastic?
How about you share your tricks instead of just teasing us all? haha

For stickers like the one used for the thumb, if one side is too square you could try the other side if it looks more round.
They usually have a square end( for toes) and a round end (for fingers)
I was just thinking why didn't she just flip it around so the curved side was against her cuticle :D

I use nail strips all of the time and have been for a couple years. I do use them over builder gel and I always use a clear gel top coat to seal it all in. They last until I take them off.
Thank you so much for testing out products like these. I’ve been curious after seeing a number of at home dip products advertised…care to give that one a go?🤷🏼♀️😊 Could it really be an option?

Hello Cherry 👋
They’re pretty cool for people who want cute nails and don’t have the skill or time yo gain skills to do designs. I prefer painting my own but for a sometimes mani these would be pretty cute
Edit: also I wanted to mention I’ve watched another nail tech/RUclipsr Tatyana Bugry do gel strips and she suggests using a cuticle stick to apply the nail strips so you’re not touching the part that sticks to your nail. And she stretches them over her nails using the stick as well. It looks and sounds easier said than done lol.
I use these whenever I want to do my nails since they are quick easy and durable (Im a stay at home mom of 1 crazy girl, a spoiled cat and 2 hyper guin pigs and I love to make crafts lol) they last about 2 weeks give or take for me even with all the dishes and laundry and cooking and more lol
Great for special occasions and yyou didn't have the time to go get your nails done!!
i get rlly bad anxiety and i pick at my nails and my cuticles
my nails are rlly bad rn and my mom is literally like banning me from everything every time i pick at them
i got the gel nail strips to hopefully help with picking
bc when i had acrylics it was way harder to pick at my cuticals and all
i also want long natural nails without acrylics
i hope these work cos i literally like have no other ideas
you have inspired me to buy some and try them out for myself, thank you...ill definitely make a video and try a wear test...
By stretching and touching them with your fingers, you got skin oils, bacteria and dead skin cells all over it. Kind of defeats the purpose of cleaning the nail bed before. Just saying. And for the rounder cuticle you could have just flipped it. The other end was more semi-circular.
Hello Johannes 👋
wow i really need to try them out!!!
i love doing my nails myself but also i am far from good and far from having enough time to make it a serious hobby, so i feel like these would be a really nice option from time to time!
thank you so much for this video! I
14:13 😂 😂 Those big eyes peering out from among all those boxes 😂 😂
Why wont my nails cure? They come out sticky and still bendy please help.
Thank you so much for this review and since you are a professional it does mean a lot!
No matter what I do, the nails still chip the day after I do them. What am I doing wrong?
I like how 1 end was square and the other end was round!
I'm sorry I was wrong maybe it was the angle I saw my apologies!
You were right/ it was like that. Guess they are giving options
Ive been using these for a few years now they are. Brilliant
Even the cameraman knows the difference between fine and polish 😍
Can you do a video on like proper cleaning of tools for us at home that do our nails? And how not prevent you from getting allergic reaction to product? I have been very careful at not getting product all over my skin and still got an allergic reaction after over a year of doing my own nails.
Thanks suzie!!
Oh that sucks eh. Sorry to hear that. Allergies don’t have much to with not being clean, it has everything to do with yr own bodies sensitivity and uncured product - so many variables like the lamp the amount ingredients the product and how you use and incompatibilities. 🙁but yes good idea
Love your videos
Learnt so much from you
Thank you 🙏
I have some polish strips from Color Street, I find they aren't as easy to get off the backing paper, I have some on in between my nail appointments. It's nice to not have the mess around my cuticle and skin from nail polish though.
Hello Jana
My favorite semi cured gel nail wraps are by Jelcie. They're stretchy and the strips are longer so you can get more manis out of them. Removal is very easy too.
Thank you!
Hello 👋
Polish ( shape) in a downward motion. Not side to side. That will loosen the edges
Hi, do you have a tutorial on how to remove them. Thanks
Woww Amaizing...I Love it
How come they didn’t grow at all in 10 days?
Well this might be just for me. I always have trouble with ordinary polish drying quickly and not ruining the design in meantime. And with gel i hate it. I don't like soaking it with the acetone. I have quite short nails. I like to keep them short. Don't like long ones too much. I might just have to try these
Hello 👋
Do i need to file the surface of the nail to make them stick ?
How do you make them ??? I want to make my own vs buying them
I use Dashing Diva Glaze and they are great!
Thank you so much for teaching us 💅
If it doesn't fit your nail all the way you can stretch them
I would recommend NOT prepping the nail with acetone as acetone will break down the gel and is really harsh to be leaving on your nail and cuticles. I would recomment alcohal the alcohal pads that are included or your own rubbing alcohal. Also, if the square shape does not fit the shape of your cuticle try using the other end or the gel nail which is more round.
Acetone will Not affect the gel it evaporates immediate
All acetone does is remove oil
Don’t you have to takeoff them fake nails u have on
Don't mind me over here obsessing about the cap being left off the acetone bottle and worrying it will get knocked over 😂
😂
She reminds me so much of Valerie Bertinelli
How do you get them off again? 😅
One end or square the other end is rounded.
how long will it last after watering
Aww luv ur chanel, iv just leant polygel and 1 of mine is shaving on my hair, its gligter polhgel, never tried a system like it, so quick 😮😮, iv managed to get 2 of 5 perfect, first try very pleased, although was hard to get off, iv bn able to pull the others off easily with a dip in acidtone, and orange wool sticks
I’ve been using nail stickers from Shein with a gel top coat for durability. They’re not all created equally 😆 Some are so thin and tear easily and some are great. I tried the semi cured gel ones for the first time yesterday. Wow! The application is so much easier. They don’t curl up when you apply them, they hide nail ridges, they don’t crease or bubble. However, I never experience hair snagging with the plastic stickers but the gel ones are snagging.
I don't like that they are not shiny.
Love watching your videos Suzie! I do have a question so if anyone else can answer for me from experience. I’ve been wanting to try these so bad but I am a mom of 2 boys and am constantly doing dishes and bath time and such. Can anyone attest to how well they last through the soap/water trials of motherhood 🤣
Anybody here manipulating these semi cured strips with a non gloved hand start getting an allergic reaction? I am curious to know if these are a lot less risky to handle with bare hands as opposed to getting some gel polish or gel products on your hands repeatedly.
very interesting product i wonder how it is removed? do you have to soak/file them off? or can they just be peeled off?
Hello Marie 👋
Use plain nail polish remover. I use NON acetone and it works just fine
@@katherinegoldeneagle2665 thank you!!!
