ohora Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips | Brown, Solid | N Cream Rose

I gave 5 stars although one popped off yesterday after 8 days but I'm pretty sure that was user error since it happened to be the first nail that I did and didn't really know what I was doing. I had some gel nail glue and popped it right back on and so far, it isn't budging. I have thin nails right now that's due to over filing using traditional gels, hard gels and polygel. Not to mention years of treatment for breast cancer. I find them thick enough (but absolutely not too thick, I hate thick nails). They hardened enough that my nails feel strong and very natural. I plan to remove them Wednesday (3 days shy of two weeks since I'm going out of town and want another look for them. Hoping the removal is as easy as putting then on! I did also purchase the nail removal solution that is from ohora as well. I think I would be able to get another week off of these honestly. They still have their shine, no chipping, no issues. So far, I find this product well worth the price since I have enough for another full mani a few leftovers to mix with other sets. I have already recommended them to a friend.

LOVE these semi cured nail strips! The only brand I use, they are durable (i have had these on since July 19th, I need to change them). I am a bakery for one, I wash dishes constantly, I am mixing, hands near heat. I make shirts for my second job, which again is high heat. They of course have scratch marks, a bit not shiny as much anymore but after 2 weeks they are still going strong! You can not get a salon job for this cost and durability. I hate thick Salon nails, makes it hard to do daily things. These keep my nails strong. Easy to apply, file, and cure!

My fingernails hate nail polish. Even with proper prep at a salon and even using gel nail polish, they chip, pop off and just generally do not last much beyond 5 days. Then, afterwards, they are a wreck for months until the damage grows out. I bought these sort of as a Hail Mary because I like pretty nails. I got 10 days of use before the first strip popped off. I was happy to see that there was no nail damage. A bit later, I took off the rest, using a cuticle oil nail pen with a built in cuticle pusher. Everything came off reasonably easy and my nails do not look to be damaged. There was zero chipping in the 10 day time frame the strips were on and, much to my delight, my soft nails did not rip once. The strips provided a nice sturdy top layer that game my nails a bit more structure than they usually have.

I was disappointed with these overall. After curing them under my UV lamp, they were much softer and more flexible than I expected. In fact, I had to cure them twice, and even then they never became as hard as I thought they should be. I would almost describe them as too flexible rather than having that stronger, more durable feel I was hoping for. Unfortunately, they also chipped the day after application, which was frustrating given the price point. The color was okay, but it wasn't quite what I expected based on the packaging photos. On the positive side, they were relatively easy to shape after curing. Removal was also easy, although I do want to note that I peeled them off instead of properly soaking or using nail polish remover as recommended. That did leave some stress lines on my natural nails, so I take responsibility for that rather than blaming the product. Overall, I found these pretty unremarkable and wouldn't purchase them again. I honestly think they're overpriced for what they offer. I've had better experiences with nail strips that cost significantly less—I've used ones from Lilly & Fox for around $2.99 that performed much better in terms of durability and value. If these were less expensive, I might be more forgiving, but at their current price point, I expected better.

I'm a total novice to semi-cured nail strips. I had previously tried a different brand and they came out TERRIBLY. They didn't lie flat and looked all wonky, but I figured that maybe they turned out so badly because it was my first attempt. So I went into trying these out thinking that there was a huge learning curve and that these may not turn out too well either. Happily, I was proven completely wrong! These nail strips applied so easily and laid flat against my nails, I didn't have to fight at all with bubbles or lifting. I followed the instructions, and they turned out fabulously (if I do say so myself)! My picture doesn't even do them justice, they're much more glossy in person. I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to do my nails for a fraction of what a professional manicure costs, and at home at my own convenience. I will buy nothing but ohora nail strips from here forward! Edit - I wore the pictured strips for almost 3 weeks, and not a single one fell off! The two nails that take the most abuse did chip at the tips at just under a week. So I put a gel top coat on and cured it, and nothing budged from there forward. I only removed them because the ledge above my new growth was yanking my hair out. The nails detached like a breeze with the Ohora remover, with zero damage to my natural nails (if anything, the new growth looked healthy and protected). I'm on my second set now, and I applied an extra coat of gel on the two nails that had previously chipped, and nothing has chipped this time. So, obviously, still super happy with this brand :) Another edit, just to add a pic of the polka-dotted set, because Amazon isn't allowing me to do a separate review because it's a variant of the set I already reviewed. These are super cute! Semi-transparent, which I was worried about because the tips of my nails are still showing damage from using an overly harsh gel polish remover about six months ago, but you can't really tell unless you're looking closely. I tried a different brand of semi-cured strips over the holidays because I liked the color and design and figured I really had the hang of things now, and they only served to reinforce that Ohora is far superior to other brands. They were thick and difficult to work with, snagged my hair from the start, and began falling off within days. So I didn't stick with the intention of only using Ohora strips from my first review forward, and learned my lesson the hard way!

These nail wraps are the best of all I've tried. It takes a little getting used to putting them on straight, especially if they are the "French maicure" style. The first few times I used them, they would chip and lift within the first week. Then I started giving them a coat or two of clear gel topcoat and most last about 3 weeks. Be careful not to apply the topcoat too close to the cuticles or, as the nail grows out, that edge will catch on things. Keeping the top coat on the 3/4 of the tip, the nail won't have that Ridge yet will straighten the nail which is one of the selling points of the ohora brand. Keep the unused wraps away from LED lamps or the sunshine or they'll harden before you even put them on!

I chose to give this product three stars because of its durability and color, specifically. There are other products by this brand to which I have given five stars, specifically the red color. They are very easy to place- it only takes about 15 minutes depending upon how well you want them done. It usually it takes me about 30 just because I try to make sure the shapes and sizes are correct and they are placed exactly right, but in comparison to the salon it's quite speedy. They are rather thick nails with a shiny smooth texture. On DAY 1 these nails looked excellent and I couldn't get enough of them. I wanted to give them 5 stars right then. I thought they were a great value. I put them on at 9PM on January 19th. That is picture 1 (right hand). Picture two is DAY 2 or 3 (left hand). Picture 3 is about DAY 8 (right hand) and they look dingy and disgusting and have probably looked this way for 2 days. I type on the computer for a living and don't typically do things that would stain my fingers, especially in the last couple of weeks. I don't use a lot of lotions or oils on my hands because I'm allergic to a lot of smells. These nails are already getting caught in my hair despite putting them on correctly (I have used these types of nails for years). I can already tell they're not going to last the 2 weeks that they say that they will. Well, I guess they could last the 2 weeks if you are okay with them looking rather unkempt or sullied. I, personally, tend to focus on the imperfections in my nails. However, I will say that I use other products from Ohora that I love in darker colors. I think that maybe if you're going to use these types of nails that you should definitely stick to darker colors not colors that are transparent or very light, like light pink, this color, white, etc. So I will likely be purchasing these in darker colors if I try again. Also, they are pretty durable but on about day three I did chip the pointer nail a little bit and had to do some filing. Putting these nails on is extremely easy and I did cure them three times on each side because I want to make sure that they were fully cured. For me, it took three times before they started to look shiny and feel sleek like they're supposed to. I have a UV lamp that they gave me with one of the sets that I purchased in the past. These will not dry without a UV lamp. I also would like to point out that the sizing for the different colors was very difficult to match up and by the time I got to my right hand I was having an extremely hard time finding fifth color (there are five different colors) to cover my ring finger and you can probably tell by this photo that it's not perfect because I had to cut it. I have kind of small fingers and the shape isn't perfect for me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy these nails but I am saying that you should not buy these nails in this color.

I've never tried toe gel strips before, and these worked really well. They're easy to put on, and they look nice, with one caveat - it was basically impossible to match my big toe. Everything was too small or too big, and cutting the bigger gel strips didn't look right. It's not overly noticeable, but I do find it a bit annoying. They've lasted over 2 weeks so far and still haven't chipped or lifted.

It detached from my wife and my daughter's nails after half a day. Looks quite transparent and you can clearly see the nail underneath. I won't recommand it.

Easy to apply, make sure they are pushed in place , stayed in place over 2 weeks .

Easy to apply, definitely the best iv tried so far , been on a week now and showing no signs of lifting away to order more soon 🙂

Excelente producto!! Padezco de dermatitis por los productos para uñas, lamentablemente ya no podía hacérmelas por miedo a tener reacción alérgica. Pero descubrí estas maravillas y estoy encantada!! Mis manos pueden lucir bellas sin ser lastimadas!!

Started lifting and popped off after a week. Rubbish. Don’t buy.
