Product Information

After applying the gel strips on 3 separate occasions, doing research, and performing trial and error, below is what has worked best for me. This seems to be a matter of personal preference. The official Ohora instruction pamphlet originally said to trim, file then cure, however since then Ohora has instructed users to trim, then file after curing. Many members say they have experienced unwanted stretching, lifting, and dimpling/texture at the tip by filing first; These members prefer to cure first, then file as they feel the added rigidity of curing helps improve the result of the filing. Other members say that they file before they cure and it helps further protect the tip of the nail. Try both ways and see what works best for you.

The quality is definitely on par with Ohora (my favorite brand because of the quality and design choices). Be warned: Ohora's Korean manicure is going to transform how you do your nails. It's the most convenient and easy-to-do DIY manicure we've ever tried, and it's super gentle on your nails. These gel nail wraps are also very easy to remove, so you won't need to follow any complicated steps or use professional nail tools. They have tons of stunning designs from modern minimalist to polka dots to marble to ombre to floral, the list goes on… If you want long-lasting, salon-quality, nails that are easy to apply then I’d say this is the brand to go for.No, Ohora nails do not have formaldehyde.y place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or a humid environment. Last Thoughts There are several brands that make semi-cured nail strips, but not all of them are created equal. Semi-cured gel nail brand list If you have used nail polish strips before, you’ll find that the gel manicure application process is basically the same (except for the cutting part). Optional)Take a brush (I use the one from my Olive & June mani kit) and dip it in 100% acetone. Swipe the brush around the edges of the nail. More details on that are below.

Now that you've applied it, cut any excess strip until it is close to the tip of your real nail. Fold the excess wrap over your nail and carefully file it until it's exactly the same length.To remove Ohora nails, soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover and hold it on the nail for a few seconds. Then, use a nail file to scrape off the polish gently. Repeat this process until all of the polish is removed. How do I uninstall Ohora without damage? But if you like sophisticated, abstract, and adult designs, nailog has some nice ones to choose from. Yes, but the process depends on the top coat you use. Ohora’s glossy top coat is likely to peel off matte strips after a few days; to prevent this some members have suggested using a matte top coat FIRST, then use the Ohora glossy top coat as the final step. Gelish and Beetles makes glossy gel top coats that have been reported to work on matte strips without any issues. Kalolary is mainly a beauty brand. But they have released their own brand of semi-cured gel nails and I have to say they’re pretty good! If you’re wondering why I’m not delving too much into price btw, it’s because i’ve found there really isn’t that much variation in the cost of semi-cured gel nails.

You can get plain ones, patterns, effects, glitters, and even gems! What brands of gel nail strips are there? Nail art is becoming increasingly popular, and Ohora is one of the most popular brands when it comes to at-home nail kits. But are they worth the money? ProsA non-UV/non-gel top coat was used over the nail strips. SOLUTION: Only use gel top coats that require curing under an LED or UV Lamp. No, you do not need a special nail polish remover to remove Ohora nails. Any acetone-based nail polish remover will work. What is the best way to store Ohora nails? Fingers lifting the strips from the plastic sheet weren’t cleaned/too oily and broke down the adhesive. SOLUTION: Use the provided Prep Pad on the finger pads as well as the nails.

The beauty of the semi-cured gel strips is that they are very flexible and also stretchy. You can stretch them horizontally slightly to fit a larger nail. Some members have even stretched baby pedi strips vertically to fit on short nails, and thumb nail strips horizontally to fit on big toes.I’ve found that with these little strips you can definitely achieve salon-like results that last just as long.
