Review (5/5): A very professional product
I have used these strips six or seven times now, all different colors. Application requires some skill and great attention to detail. If you follow the instructions to the letter and have a steady hand you'll get amazing results. Don't be afraid to trim the strips to fit your nails. Having each strip slightly narrower than your nail gives a better application. You're better able to completely coat the strip with gel without going off the edge of your nail. Also, apply two coats of gel, curing each coat separately. This gives a better look and much stronger finish. Don't do any more than two coats though or you may not get these off. Also, don't stretch the strips or they will retract once you've shortened them to fit your nail. One more tip, you can use regular alcohol and cotton balls if you feel the two little alcohol pads are inadequate. I love this product. My nails stay perfect for over a week and decent anywhere from ten days to over two weeks. It's not for everyone though. If you don't like this product you're probably not doing it right.
