![Ohora ACETONE TRICK (Stop the Hair Snagging!) - Semi-Cured Gel Strips [오호라 머리 안 땡기게 하는 법]](/img/n.gif)
I am new to gel nails, and a friend recommended Ohora. I bought a couple of colors, the top coat, remover, and got the the light free. It seemed easy enough, and the Ohora video was short. The first set I put on peeled off in a couple of days, and I was snagging the edges. Watched another video. No better. Then... I found your video. What a difference! You explain everything so well. I followed your instructions, and my second set lasted almost 10 days. I took your suggestion and bought the Squish Light. Really saw the difference along the cuticle. Thank you so much for this video! This is the best one on gels.
I’ve definitely criticized brands before for making their instructions videos so short. I get it that they are trying to make it look super easy. And it IS easy, but it’s not a 2 minute process either. I’m glad my video helped you ❤️❤️❤️ it’s worth it to do a few extra steps to have a long lasting manicure.
Really like that you strive for perfection without going overboard with dozens of additional steps.
Haha yes, it’s a balancing act - I don’t want the application to be a two hour process, but I don’t mind spending additional 10+ minutes making sure it looks good for two weeks.
Great video, thanks! Okay so as a resin artist, I can probably explain the science behind the acetone "trick": acetone and isopropyl alcohol dissolve, and/or break down a lot of compounds like resin, which includes these nails if you allow me to use umbrella terms for a bit. By dissolving/thinning out the ohora to adhere better to the nail, it's actually pretty dangerous because the dissolved resin particles get absorbed by the skin. Using isopropyl alcohol to remove spilled resin from skin is a very hotly debated topic in the resin art community for this reason. Some people swear by it, because yes it does seem to work beautifully, but there's an equally valid side that's very against it due to the harmful substances being absorbed by the skin. Hope that helps!
Yes that helps!! Thanks so much! The reason I haven’t done the acetone thing is pure laziness - just seemed like a lot of work. I had no idea about that being potentially harmful. Thanks for letting me know ❤️❤️❤️
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much. I use the squish light all the time now. Makes a huge difference
Thanks for the great tips!!
My pleasure
I love all of your nail videos! Thank you, I have learned so much from you. 😍
Thanks so much, Maria
Fantastic tutorial and great tips as always!
Thanks so much, Kimberly.
Your nail videos are the best!!! I have learned so much from you. Thanks for posting the links .... ordering the squish light now.
Thanks, Kelly! Glad my tips are helpful ❤️
Thanks you are honest with your videos! And quick reply that is why I follow you. Besides very helpful!
Thanks. I don’t always guarantee quick replies but I try ❤️ and honesty really is the best policy.
I really enjoy your videos! All your extra tips and tricks have really helped my nail application and wear time.
Thanks so much Rebecca, I appreciate the feedback
Great update video! Looking forward to trying your hack and buying my first set of Ohora with your code. Thank you!
Thanks Dina
This works!!! Thank you so much I was about to give up ❤
Yay!! Honestly such a game changer. I haven’t gone my ohora nails any other way since discovering this.
Another nail video for me to download! You have made my nail strip game 100X better!!!!! Thank you so much for these! You have helped me be able to do my nails again!!!!
Wohoo! Glad they are helpful
This was so helpful! I ordered the brand of strips you used with your code too, thank you! I was using Dashing Diva. I can’t wait to try the squish lamp. I also found you quite easy to listen to and your video was helpful!
That’s the nicest feedback ever - thank you so much. I hope you like the squish light as much as I do! I use it all the time now. Game changer.
Wow. Your nails look amazing and like you've had the professionaly done. I'm just getting in to the Gel nails. And I see some videos even the ad ones they look slightly different. But yours look absolutely superb.
Honestly, I think a lot of the ads just try to make it look like it soooo fast and easy but the application looks rushed to me. It’s not hard, but it does take a bit of time and precision. It’s still much faster and easier than painting nails. Thanks for the compliment and enjoy your venture into gel. It’s really fun!
Hi. I'm glad your video came up in my feed. I have been doing gel manicures at home but will definitely be giving these a try. TFS 😃 ** New Subscriber!**
This is way easier than gel manicures (I used to do those at home too). Definitely check out my other vids in the Nails playlist - I have lots of brands in there. Thanks for subbing ❤️
I saw a tip on another squishy light, to cover the silicone pad with plastic wrap (Saran wrap) to keep from snagging or tearing the silicone pad.
Oh that’s a great tip. Thanks!!
Beautiful
This was so helpful! I am new to these gel nails! Your tutorial was excellent!
I’m so glad! It’s fun to be new to gel stickers - so many brands and designs to explore.
Thank you !! Had given up on Ohora due to the snagging etc but still lust after their beautiful designs . As soon as I can get one of the squishy lamps in Australia will given this a go !!
It’s a total game changer!!! I love ohora designs too, and can totally relate to the snagging. For me it didn’t happen super early after application, but a few days in it was typically an issue. Not anymore though!!
Thank you for this video. I was wondering about the squish light and how to use it
It’s such an amazing tool!
Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks! I am just starting out with press on nails. I ordered several from Dashing Diva, The Editorial Nail, and Ohora. After I ordered kits from Ohora, I read an online article where the reviewer said that she loved her press ons, but after 2-3 days they started to lift from the cuticle and snag her hair. The reviewer raved about the Ohara designs and recommended them only for special occasions, since they don't stay on for very long. I was bummed out after reading that review because I LOVE their designs, however I am SO excited that you shared information about the squish light. I have been watching your videos for the past few weeks and have been making purchases through your affiliate links (FYI, I subscribed to your TH-cam channel as well). Back in the day I used to get acrylic nails and while they looked nice, over time, my nails because paper thin. It took years for my nails to recover. Because of that experience, I was reluctant to do dip powder or gel, but I tried both for awhile, and stopped because I just didn't like them. It's amazing how much women are judged by their manis these days. The gel stickers are perfect for me - thanks again!!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide feedback! My main complaint with ohora was the cuticle snagging but I’ve had 0 issues since using the squish light. I hope it works for you as well. And thanks for subscribing and using my links - much appreciated.
I've been doing Ohora since 2020 and never heard of a squish light! My NYE manicure is starting to catch my hair...can't wait to try this new technique and have it last longer. Thank you!
Yes I started using them in 2020 as well and only learned about the squish light shortly before doing this video. I can’t imagine using them without it now!
Thanks for the tip, will be ordering the squish lamp! Please keep us posted on the Alice and Bella nail strips.
Yup I’ll have updates in the stories. So far so good. I used a squish light on them as well
@@kbeautyhobbit 👍🏻 I plan to use the squish lamp on all brands of semi cured nails too!
Omg I’m so excited to try this! I’ve never heard of this before! Too bad I just put on a new set yesterday 😅
It’s not a well known trick (I tried finding demos and couldn’t find a good one - had to figure it out myself and make one haha). I hope your current set lasts, but the next one will be even better!!
So I got a squish light and used it the last time I did my nails. They’ve been on for a week and a half and I haven’t had a single hair snag or any signs of lifting! Such a game changer! I know these will last a full 2 weeks and I’ll just have to change them because they are grown out and I want to try a different set!
Yesss!!! That’s what I call success.
ok i haven't watched yet but got so excited when i saw this pop up!
i just bought the jelcie squish light, but haven't used it yet .
Love your finger nail videos!
Ah, I didn’t know they had their own squish light. Interesting.
@@kbeautyhobbit yeah, it’s 10bucks and each extra squishy is 2.50
🤗
I’m excited to try this since I hate acetone
Mine was cheaper and came with extras. But I’m kind of mad at jelcie so… I’m not impartial here
Thanks so much for these tips! I’ve never tried Ohora but have tried Dashing Diva after watching your demos on how to apply them. Would sealing the free edge with a gel topcoat help with the stickiness I get after filing? I’m using the Dashing Diva Gloss, not one that needs curing.
I’ve never had stickiness after filing gloss, but I think applying a gel top coat would help since it’s not sticky at all after curing.
Fantastic Video for newbies to nail strips!! Thank you so much for the taking the time to explain in detail the reason for your process(es). New to this whole process and am totally pleased to have found you for guidance. New Subscriber!! I saved this video as well so I can easily refer back to it. 💯
UPDATE: I'm afraid the squish light trick did not work for me past day 4. I tried it on 2 sets of Dashing Diva Glaze nail strips with the same results. I meticulously prepped my nails before applying the strips and followed these steps to the letter. Maybe it works better with the Ohora brand, but the hair snagging is driving me insane. I have had some luck with applying thin coats of regular clear top coat every other day or so, which has helped, but still a problem. I do love the nail strips though over gel polish - - so I will continue to search for a solution to use the Dashing Diva strips that I have already purchased. I also tired the Ohora acetone trick to try to melt/seal the edge, but it didn't last for more than a few days before I got hair snagging. I may have to try to perfect that method more.
Thanks so much!! And good luck with the strips. They are lovely if you get the process nailed
OMG, those gloves 😂! 14:25. Just kidding, I was thinking today that I needed a pair of those myself... but didn't know they existed!
Orange is the best color 🤭🤭🤭
I know I’m late to the party, but thanks for sharing this information. I recently started using semi cured strips to do my nails, and the snagging at the cuticle area is driving me crazy. Looking forward to trying this tip :)
It’s been a game changer for me! I hope it works for you too.
I ordered this so fast!! Thank you! Those hair snags are so annoying
I hope they stop! I’m on my second set since using this tool and have had 0 snags both times! Not even after 10 days
Which semi cured nails do you prefer Ohora or Dashing Diva? Which one do you think is better quality/longer lasting?
I prefer ohora because their designs are more in line with my tastes. They both last about the same. DD I think is a bit thicker.
I hated filing stickers before they were cured, so I now apply the nail sticker, trim it about a mm longer than my nail, and cure each nail for 10 seconds under a single-nail lamp (away from my stickers, of course), before going on to the next nail to harden them a bit. Once they're all on, I cure both hands and then use my regular nail file to file the nice hardened sticker down almost to my actual nails. Once filed, I apply a UV topcoat, taking care to cap underneath the nail just a bit to make sure that any little difference in length between the nail and sticker will be protected from lifting, and cover the rest of each nail, taking care to get topcoat around the whole edge of the nail. If a bit of topcoat gets on my skin, I use the pointed end of my nail pusher tool to remove the excess. Then I cure them again, and I'm done. They last so much longer, and my nails don't wear down as much from typing all day. I love both the squish light and acetone tricks, as I had never heard of them. They're now on my list to test out!
I wouldn’t do the acetone trick after talking with some nail techs. It’s not good for the health of the nail. I’m not going to explain it properly but basically breaking down gel like that right on the nail isn’t good for you.
@@kbeautyhobbit I didn't even think about that, and it makes good sense for me. I'll give the squish light a go. I love new toys!
@CarolHoladay I didn’t either until someone pointed it out. I just didn’t want the hassle and I guess being lazy paid off for once :)
I saw your video on dashing diva. Have you changed your mind on the ohora
They have been much better in 2022/23 than the original ones I tried in 2020. And now this squish light makes it perfect
When you add the clear gel topcoat does it need to be soaked off or will the oil trick still lift it off?
No need to soak off. The regular removal I do with oil and a floss pick works great.
Does the clear top coat make the removal process more difficult?
Doesn’t affect removal at all.
So I have both the semi cured and the gloss dashing diva strips can I put a layer of gel top on both of the strips
Yes you can. I do that will all strips, UV cured or not.
Lucy my squishlight silicone thingie is falling apart and I've only used it twice. Do you know why?
No idea. I gave my best suggestion in response to your earlier comment
have you had any issues with skin reactions to the semi cured gel. I am super new to this all but read that people have developed painful allergies by letting the gel touch their skin
The allergies you are talking about are usually to liquid gel that’s not properly applied or cured. I haven’t had any issues. I’m also very careful at how I apply the top coat
Do you have to cut the before you cure them?
Yes. They become hard after curing and might crack if you try to cut them. These aren’t meant to work as nail extensions. If you are trying to use them that way, consider doing the extensions first, then putting the stickers on top
did you tape the silicone bubble to the uv light? mine wouldn't stay on. I also sliced the silicone bubble alot with my nails. any tips?
Mine stays on fine without tape.
For the slicing someone recommended using Saran Wrap on it - I’ll do that with my next squishy part bc mine is starting to get a bit ripped up as well.
ah. okay. thanks! maybe I'm an aggressive presser 😂 but I'll try tape
I bet if you wrap the whole end of it with Saran Wrap, overlapping the main body of the device, it will hold everything in place and protect it from tears
Hi! The squishy light you have linked is no longer sold, is there another option?
I’m pretty sure they are all the same. This one looks super similar (aff link): amzn.to/3wVodBh
How do you remove them??.... are they easy to get removed??
Yup it’s easy

Was contemplating trying these, however it seems like such a muck around and fidly. Think I'll just stick with gel polish. Great tips anyway :)
Like with anything, your mileage may vary hehe. I used to do gel polish but I can’t be as precise with it as I’d like. So stickers are less stressful for me and look better. Maybe I’d feel differently if I had gel polish skills worth mentioning
Where do you get the squishy
There’s a link in the video description but here it is again: amzn.to/3KxFm6A
Found it thanks already ordered.
does anyone know of jelcie went out of business?
for the past few months they have been very slow concerning shipping and now their website has been down for a while.
I still get targeted ads from them and their IG is active, but they ghosted me months ago for no reason so I don’t keep up too closely.
Just did my nails with nail wrap stickers and I still got a few wrinkles despite stretching and smoothing out the wrap 😢 The designs still look good tho, but the perfectionist in me is crying 😂
It does take a few tries to get really good at them. As a fellow perfectionist, I feel the pain!
Fucking Brilliant!
The kind of review I live for!! ✨😅
@@kbeautyhobbit 😆
And how do you remove them???

lol The prep pad they include is an alcohol prep pad, the same as those you buy individually. The box lists the 'ingredients'. Good video though.
And for viewers who may not know, the 'squish light' is a stamper.
The included ones often have a “paper” feeling thin base. The curad ones are a thicker fluffier base. I’m aware both have alcohol in them. That’s not the reason for my preference
Nail stampers typically don’t include a light in them
Great video and Ty for pointing out the filing afterwards. I gotta say tho that the 16 count scgs (huizi) work better if they are filed prior curing. I am not sure about edgeu since they are like 80% cured
I’ve been meaning to try EdgeU. Never heard about huizi.
@@kbeautyhobbit huizi is the manufacturer of the 20 count NG wraps, the 16 count sg wraps. They are the most available ones next to dashing diva glaze. Also huizi makes the 16ct and 22 count normal nail polish wraps
@hollygolightly9572 thanks! Learned something new today ❤️
