Works GREAT! I Am Excited About These - they stick really, really good and easy!
These are perfect for doing your own Gel nails at home. They were really, really easy to apply and seem strong. So far so good. I am on day 3 with these Guards under my OPI Gelcolor and excited about them. YAY! no more damaged nails!  I didn’t have to use OPI bondAid with them. I only used the nail Guard on my bare nails but I did make sure there was no residue or dust on my nails before applying the Guard, I just applied 1 basecoat, 2 gelcolor and  1 top coat on top of the nail Guards.<br /><br />They feel really strong, protected and stable. I’ve been doing dishes and everything....No peeling... No lifting.. No chipping. My nails still look as good as new! You can’t tell at all that the Nail Guards are under my gelcolor. I can finally grow my nails out without all the torture in taking gel or tips off and no more sanding down. Yep, supposedly you can use these under acrylic or gel TIPs too! maybe even tips that you glue on? that’s amazing! but I am trying Gelcolor first. We’ll see, I will update in two weeks but so far so good. There are youtube videos demonstrating how easy it is to take them off without any damage... These are amazing. Revolutionary indeed! I will update in weeks.<br /><br />UPDATE: I LOVE THESE GUARDS.... that being said the truth is these lasted for exactly 2 weeks. I think I could of gotten longer if I capped my tips better with gel  because the edge of my nail tips were the first area to start showing wear and ever so sightly the guards at the tip started to peel (2 weeks). It was soo easy to take the Guards and GelColor off, in a matter of a few minutes.  My natural nail is perfect after taking them off... no damage, no dryness, no staining, no brittleness. My tips were white and not stained and my nail beds were a normal pink and best of all they have grown out healthy and are my own nails,  YAY!!!  I will never need fake tips again. I am sooo excite how well these worked.  Honestly they never looked so good after taking off any nail color that includes plain nail polish which would stain my nails and dry out from nail polish remover. The bond of these shields sticks very well and strong. Also anyone having trouble with gel sticking to there natural nails because of their own natural nail chemistry.... this maybe be a great solution for you.<br /><br />UPDATE: Amazing! I have figured out the PERFECT combination to make them last longer then 2 weeks, actually they last  until I am ready to remove. Here’s what I do... I prep my nails using opi nas99 and opi bondaid then I apply the Nail guards, then I apply 2 thin coats of HARD gel I used iBD hard gel (nail builder) right over the Nail Guards, cap the end of the nails well, then I apply 2 coats of color gel (GelColor) and then 1 or 2 coats of OPI Top coat the OPI Top Coat  is stronger then the gelcolor so I usually put 2 coats of top top but 1 is fine, it just depends on what you like, I  like my nails supper glossy, a little thicker, this combination makes them super strong. Caping the NailGuard on the end with iBD Hard gel is the secret to gelcolor lasting longer. This combination last for weeks on end without any peeling or chipping. My nails are now super strong and protected, are healthier,  my manicure stays for weeks on end and best of all it easily comes off when I am ready to take it off with no damage. The only thing is I have to use my regular UV light for the Hard gel (180 sec ea coat of hard gel) to cure and I use my LED OPI Light (30 sec ea coat) for my Gelcolor to cure but it’s 100% worth it!
