ohora Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips (N Cream Rose) - Brown, Solid, Works with Any UV/LED Lamps, Salon-Quality, Long Lasting, Easy to Apply & Remove - Includes 2 Prep Pads, Nail File & Wooden Stick

Let me start out by saying that I have wide nail beds, my nails break / chip easily, I have veryflat nails with very little to no natural apex, my nails have a moderate c-curve, my preferred nailshape is squoval and that I am VERY OCD about my nails, a perfectionist. My nails are slightly wideron my right hand compared to my left hand by two (2) to three (3) millimeters.I typically do my own gel and dip powder nails. When I do gel nails I always use builder gel toprovide the extra strength and protection that my nails need but also to build an apex.For these to fit I have to stretch these width wise as much as I can and two broke. After stretchingthese fit my left hand fine but this is not the case for my right hand leaving the free edges of mysidewalls uncovered (and by the same amount in which my right hand nail beds are wider by inrelation to my left hand nail beds).Now this could be due to the fact that these are applied to my nails in which I built up using abuilder gel to form a nice apex, overlay not extensions.Shaping the product couldn't be easier! I did use the included file but found myself switching to my100, 180 and 240 grit files. Instead of using the provided wooden cuticle stick I prefer to use myplastic cuticle stick with a silicone edge on the angled side. In both cases while pushing theproduct to cover as much of my sidewalls as possible I noticed that the product does dent and leavessome marks from the tool used. Similar situation for trying to thin out the line at the cuticle edgeas well. With that said imperfections are not even visible after curing the product.I don't have their curing lamp and use my curing lamp which cures absolutely everything inside of 60seconds. But I cured these three (3) times just in case. These cured very, very well.These are very easy to use and I think these are great for anyone that either just doesn't want tofuss with the more involved traditional gel or dip powder nail processes or just wants to befinished faster with a new set.I pressed these down prior to curing VERY hard on my cuticle line leaving a very small gap and theystill look like fake / false nails are on. Maybe I used them incorrectly? Perhaps I should havestretch them out along the cuticle line lengthwise? I don't know.Did I spend less time applying these than doing my own gel or dip powder nails? Absolutely.Did I achieve the polished / finished look I desired with this product? Yes, except for my cuticlelines and the slight gaps along my sidewalls in which the product is just too narrow for all of mynails on my right hand.Was the time I spent applying these worth it with the final look versus gel or dip powder nails?Yes and no due to cuticle lines and sidewalls.Should this product be updated to accommodate wider nail beds? Yes.Is this product easy to use? Yes.Would I recommend this product? Yes, provided that you don't have nails beds as wide as mine.

I was blown away how easy these were to apply to well-prepped nails. I love that they harden under LED and can then be shaped, leaving a perfectly manicured and polished nail. My nails felt a little long after a week so I filed them again and got another week of wear before I was ready to swap in a fresh color. Of note, the Ohora remover worked well to remove them in one piece without soaking or filing!

Doesn’t even deserve 1 star. These nails appear to be olive green on the front and when you open… they are light green. On top of this they don’t cure properly!!! I am so unbelievably disappointed. There is not consistency among their products. It’s a total hit or miss weather you are going to get a decent product or a faulty misrepresented product. I am very disappointed. So done giving my money to this company.

Pretty easy to apply! Mine only look good for about a week but I’m a hairstylist so it comes with the territory! Cheap enough though. Much better than going to the nail salon!

These are amazing! Way better then another brand you can buy in stores! Mine started to fall apart about one week and four days, but that's longer thank any other brand I've tried. I received so many compliments on the color. Just bought my next color of this brand. My nails break so easily, these are amazing to help my natural nail grow.

I love how stiff the Ohora nails are, but I think that stiffness is what also makes it so they don’t last more than a week for me. Which is a bummer because I really like their color range compared to a lot of other brands, I just can’t keep them on as long as some others.Other brands a slightly thinner which allows the nail to flex a bit while using them. The Ohora brand has zero give so by day 7 they are literally popping off of like press ons from my natural nails. I use a UV flashlight with a clear rubber stamp to press down while I cure for 90 seconds to ensure the cuticle adheres. I make sure my nails are clean and dry before application. I still get separation at the cuticle and tips. Compared to some other brands, these don’t hold up that well to repeated hot water contact like daily showers, washing face with warm water, or rinsing dishes. Short of scuffing the surface of my nail, which I won’t do because I refuse to damage them and that’s the whole point of using products like this for me as a protective barrier, I’ve tried all the tricks to form a good stick.The size of the strips are a bit lacking for me as well. I have narrower nails and the variance in the sticker sizes runs larger for me instead of offering more smaller, in between sizes. I end up having to use the same nail sticker for 2 nails and being thankful my nails are shorter or having to use the opposite side and sacrificing the set.It’s a great brand for a nice night out or a weekend away but not as a full time job for me when other brands can last pretty much 2 weeks in the same conditions.

I’m not a girly girl. Nail polish and i are not besties. It always comes out looking horrible as if my 4 year old niece did them (she could probably do better at painting my nails than i, to be honest) and getting my nails done at a salon is too expensive. Figuring these out was amazingly easy, and after having them go through my daily routines (work, shower, etc), every nail lasted through it all and there is no sign of them coming off. My favorite part is they are not like press on nails. They were easy to apply and before doing all my nails, i tested out the removal process after curing it. They don’t pop off like press on nails do and because of the glue that press on nails use, it can sometimes hurt. Instead, they peel off (but go slow). Also, after curing the nails, getting them to the length i want, and shaping them, they felt just like my actual nail.It’s ONLY been a day but they are feeling like they are here to stay. I will be buying more, especially for special occasions :)
