Review on MOMSON Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips: 20 Full Gel Nail Polish Stickers for Women by Rachel Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cute but mine only lasted 4 days

They are cute and easy to apply but mine started peeling off after day 4 and all the wrappers peeled off by day 5. They're quicker than my own gels and artwork so I might consider reusing them as a last resort, but you really aren't getting the best bang for your buck if they last about as long as regular nail polish. They also seem to rely on glue to better stick to the nail. as UV/LED curing. I've used semi-cured gel strips in the past and have always used my own base coat to avoid the risk of damaging my nails and I'm glad I did the same for them as there was a sticky residue left on some of my nails and when I removed them as instructed, this glue tore part of my primer. I found they came off a lot easier if I dripped some acetone under the raised corner and then let it dissolve that sticky surface before pinching it with a cuticle stick. The nails that were removed also had a sticky layer which I haven't experienced with other UV gel wraps I've used, they were more like a thick version of those Jamberry nail stickers that were popular a few years ago were, so I'm not sure if the UV curing really meant anything or if it's really just a thick sticker meant to look like gels.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
