⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️: according to nail techs I follow, gel does not ruin your nails: improper removal of gel does. Or in my case, a new tool I bought which was way too sharp and dug into my nail - which is why I switched to a plastic scraper after. When you're soaking off gel polish, it should easily flake off or be soft enough to scrape off with ease. If you're struggling, then keep soaking until it comes off easily. What's worked for me as aftercare is to hydrate your hands and nails and give them a break for a day or two before applying your next gel/nail polish. I finally have an update to my rubber base experiment! In conclusion, I liked it a lot and it definitely helped keep my nails from breaking or cracking. But it is not a replacement for hand/nail care and proper nutrition, etc, it is simply a product to add structure and strength to your nail (not a nail tech lol I just like to learn about things) Clickable links are in the Community Tab OR you can screenshot this caption and click the link in your camera roll:) 🍰 Birthslay Cake Cuticle Oil (use code thegraytergood10) : www.cirquecolors.com/products/nail-cuticle-oil?bg_ref=IV8C9OdyC0 (aff) ~~~~~~~ 🛒 Amazon Storefront (nail care, nail art essentials, filming and lighting setup, etc) www.amazon.com/shop/thegraytergood 🎯 Target Storefront: goto.target.com/c/5014184/1799385/21323?u=www.target.com/creators/theegraytergood 💧Drip Ring (code thegraytergood) mariejune.com/discount/thegraytergood (aff)

Hey I’ve been struggling with keeping my nails long I used to bite them and now they are super short and I’m ashamed to wear them out because people are always telling me how short my nails are and I get sad because I’m really trying to grow them out but the pink part of my nail won’t grow my nails look like a 6 year olds nails so I was wondering if you recommended anything that’s good for me to put on my nails so that they can grow or so that I can at least stop biting them. I’ve already tried that nail coat that tastes bad but it doesn’t work I also apply cuticle oil every week and my nails aren’t growing at all so yeah I was hoping you could help

the gel strips are meant to replace polish, not be extensions! Keep your nails, try the strips instead of polish, and review them. They're a good option for when you don't want to fuss with polish

true but in all of their ads they use them like extensions. that's also why they've been receiving so much backlash, because they don't work like that at all. i think as regular stickers it's cute but seems cheap and low quality, especially without a top coat

@@thegraytergood If you get a good brand they definitely set super hard. I routinely open soda and cat food cans with my (medium short) nails while wearing them. You can also add a single coat of gel top coat over them to smooth them out and make them even harder/last even longer, if you want. It doesn’t affect the removal and it stops the issue where sometimes they snag your hair.

No girl your nails are stunning

Those nails are so beautiful 😍

The gel strips don't require acetone soak off for removal. It's a sticker. You just need some nail oil around the cuticle and use a wooden stick to rub under lifted areas gently

Those Ohora gel strips do work!! I swore by them before I realized how much easier (and cheaper) it was for me to just paint my nails with gel polish that self levels. I would cure the strips once and then file them down. Then apply 2-3 layers of really good gel top coat. If done really well, then they can last for weeks. I use my hands a LOT, so they tend to wear down fast for me personally.

girl your nail beds are UNREALLLL as a nail tech student i wishhh

Please do it! I have been wondering if they are worth getting for so long!

Literally my favourite KZreadr, I got into nail art after seeing you do AMAZING designs - I would like to see those nail strips because they are very controversial! 😁

They look SO natural im screaming

I SO WANNA SEE THOES NAILS PLZZZZ!

Do it do it you got it girl!

omg thanks for trying it out i always wanted to try these but kept seeing mixed reviews, i will definitely use them but not as extensions!! also i think it's so cool ive been following you for so long and just found out you live in the same area as me!! ive literally seen the murals you have done and thought they were so beautiful!

I REALLY WANT IT !

Finally nails that don't look too perfect after removal. I always thought my nails are so bad after removal and i just stop doing my nails each time.

They’re beautiful they’re way they are

why is no one talking about the transition.. bro's editing be bussin'

girl it will look good 👍☺️

I just did my first gel manicure at home 🥰 your videos inspired me to invest in myself, so I found a UV lamp, gel polish set, and some pretty chrome powders for all under $40 (UV lamp and colored polish set were in a local bin sale. $15 ea, the chrome powders were on Amazon for another $6) And I got to work!! I fell in love with using glass nail files. (until I can save up for a drill kit, I’m doing alright shaping and filing just with glass files) but I love how my nails turned out! I was really proud of myself for doing them all for myself and it only took me 30 min. My dominant hand is messy, but if you squint it’s gorgeous!!! Sparkly and glossy and very pretty! I can’t wait to practice and get better at applying it with every time I do it. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try it out for myself.

So so so so cute!!!! 😍😫

Those nail beds😍😍😍❤

You should really do it! I just did mine with those and they worked perfectly!!

Cut just enough for the gel nails to fit! Patiently waiting for the video 🙃🫶🏽

Love it! Yes, gel does not hurt your nails but improper removal does! So be careful with removing, also the more you take of gel and re apply the more pores your nails can have which can absorb bacteria and lead to infection so beware of that as well 🫶🏼

You are literally so so pretty and when you do those videos where you cut all your nails of and grow them out with us telling us tips and tricks along the way has helped me grow my nails much longer and healthier so mabey if you cut your nails now once again it can help other grow their nails out and you can try out the gel nail stickers with the short nails

Do an ombre look. Add the strips towards the end and fill in a different colour from the cuticle line 🙃🥰

I had one of those viral things. I did not know how to use them at all, so I’m glad that I am looking at videos how to use them

Doooooo ittttttt I’m a nail tech like my aunt it is soooo worth it x

I dug out a chunk of my nail removing polish one time too. It seems to be the chemicals in the remove that softens the nails 💅 the longer you soak them.

Yup, I’ve noticed the nails feel really weak right after removal but once everything evaporates they feel much better

Please they are so good and they last soooo long

The hack I found is acetone, cotton ball, & coconut oil in a ziploc bag. Then have the bag in a bowl of warm/hot water. Put hand in the ziploc and just move the cotton ball over your nails. Like 10 mins a hand but comes off with a breeze and your hand isn’t dry! Hope that helps someone.

I'd like to see it and hear a full update on how long they lasted and how everything went

You can strech out the gel strips a bit before putting them on xx

I love the korean gel nail stickers, im allergic to gel and acrylics and used those stickers for ever and the thing is they stretch! My nails were growing so long because those stickers protect them so well, but the stickers stretch A LOT! just have to be gentle. I hope someone whose hesitatant sees this comment and help them make decision 😊

Try file removal & leave a *thin* layer no matter what! Works amazing for myself & others whos nails I do. 🥰

DO IT !!💅🏻💅🏻

Do it girl you got this. Plus they'll just grow back real quick anyway

I have these strips and I am scared to use them, so I would love to see you try them!
