Metallic Red Mirror Semi-Cured Gel Nail Strips | Ruby Chrome-2809

"I was very skeptical at first but thought I had nothing to lose. Struggling with foot problems throughout my life, going for a manicure wasn't easy at times and was always looking for a at home solution. I bought a UV light lamp and tried these at home. I am floored at the results! They were so easy to apply. I would cut with scissors, then nail clippersto get right up to the nail and file. I set for 60 seconds as the instructions said but just to be safe did the 120 seconds.

The results are AMAZING!!!! Looks like I just got them done at the salon. These have my life so much easier and I can do my feet in the comfort of my own home."

Fantastic color and quality. Semi-cured gel pedicure was easy and quick to apply and lasted over 3 weeks!

These are fab nails. Easy to pop in place and trim. They look professional and I'm a week in and they are still looking great. No chipping or peeling. The packaging is lovely and you even get all the tools you need with it. I will absolutely be purchasing them again.

"I love semi-cured gel nail stickers and the holiday offerings especially. I work with kids and they love to see the different holiday versions I wear. I have tried so many different brands over the last couple of years and I can say that DANNI & TONI are among the best for design, value, and longevity. I've had my current set (the Christmas set) on for a week and they're still going strong. I like to do my own nails at home bc going to the salon costs more money, causes more damage to my nails, and takes way too much time.

There are a few tricks you need to know to get the best experience with ANY semi-cured gel nail set. Frist, PREP IS EVERYTHING. You HAVE to push your cuticles back, make sure all polish or adhesive is off, and you HAVE to rough your nails up just a bit and wipe them with alcohol in order to get the ideal surface for your stickers to adhere to. Second, don't apply your stickers onto ANY part of your skin. They can't be touching your cuticles or the skin on the side of your nails. Third and finally, no set ever says this but you NEED a clear top coat. Do not cure the stickers under the lamp longer than is advised, apply a thin coat of clear top coat, SEAL THE TIPS OF YOUR NAILS WITH A SWIPE, and then wipe the excess off your cuticles and sides before you cure it (being sure to flip your hands over for a few second to cure the bit of top coat at the ends of your nails). I like to reapply a thin layer of top coat five to seven days later. By 12-14 days I've either got one nail that's come loose, I'm bored, or my nails have grown out so long I need a new set applied anyway. To remove these without damaging your nails, lift up the edges a bit and work some cuticle oil, olive oil, coconut oil, etc under each sticker until they lift easily. You might need some remover to get any leftover residue, but I've found that I can usually work it all off with the oil. I wash my hands and allow my nails to 'breathe' for a day, if I can, then go at it all over again.

I get so many compliments and feel so much more 'put together' when my nails are done and the semi-cured gel nail sticker option has so far been the best option for me to maintain a nice manicure without exorbitant expense, a big time commitment, or too much damage to my nails. The colors and designs DANNI & TONI offers are a bonus. Enjoy!"

I started using these when my nails became too weak for gel manicures. They are amazing! They last much longer than gel manicures (at least two weeks, and that's with swimming once a week and being pretty hard on my hands). I think they are probably a lot better for your nails. Easy to apply, easy to take off, takes me about 30 minutes to apply. You don't need any special equipment, I just hold mine up to a standard LED light bulb for a minute after after they set great. Just don't expose them to light for long before you apply them or they will harden. Keep the 2nd set in the black sleeve while you apply the first set.
