These are so pretty. I used them on top of the Mylee Fix n Flash Short Almond Gel Tips because my natural nails were all different lengths and shapes - and because I’m not good at shaping nails using my non-dominant hand.
I was nervous adhesion to the gel tips wouldnt be great, but i buffed off the shiny surface with a nail file, used a prep wipe to dehydrate and applied the strips.
The gel strips can become distorted if you arent careful when stretching, but once I had found the knack of placing centrally on the nail and using the wooden stick to help pull them to both sides, it was a simple enough process. I loved how easy the excess filed off, and they didnt take long to cure. I didnt add a top coat until the next day but they were so solid i wasnt worried.
Pros
• no lifting after 10 days & counting.
• pretty design
• simple to use (but not quick)
• seem to be withstanding hair washing & styling & skincare and sunscreen etc
• compatible with mylee gel tips
Cons
• not sure how to remove them after sealing with top coat (that sealed the edges down so the MoYou instructions for removal dont seem to account for that)
• the top coat i used was repelled by the gel tip (think oil in water) which i didnt notice until after i’d cured. Its not noticeable unless inspecting the nails, but i know its there. Not sure if a con of gel tips or of top coat but just add your top coat to one nail and see how it behaves. Flash cure if need be. Working quickly will help.
• the gel tips can fold & crease so beware when sticking them down
Overall really glad i bought them, i can’t wait to use my next set!!
Love this print, it’s absolutely adorable. That being said the actual Care Bears designs were all on random nail stickers so I had to cut each and every one of them to size except for the last two which I had to stretch to fit. So it wasn’t as good of a fit as usual and we’re ready for replacing in a week rather than the usual 2
Had my first set on for two weeks now. Had to replace on as it chipped. Took about 40mins to do first time for whole set and over all super impressed with their strength and ease of application. Did one hand with clear top coat and other without to see difference in wear and overall not much difference so won't bother with top coat next time. Would definitely recommend.
