Thank you for the game changing squish-light tip. I’ve had the best manicures using your tips.
It’s the best tip!! I found it in a dashing diva Facebook group but they didn’t give a lot of info. So I had to experiment a bit. Definitely worth it.
Thanks so much great ideas ! I love watching your videos
Thank you, Joan
Great tips! Thanks Lucy💯
Thanks!! The editing took me longer than filming 😂😂😂😂
The hardest thing for ME is to not use my nails as tools. 😂🤣😂 Scraper especially. I try but I get in a hurry and don’t feel like going to find the tool needed. Another is wearing gloves to wash dishes. Never could get used to it. Guess I am a hands on person so will always have short nails except for special occasions
I can relate to all of that 😂
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for your videos. I want to start doing my own nails with semi-cured strips and that’s how I found your channel. Love all your tutorials. Please, keep making them. Love from Kent, UK. 🙏🙏🙏😁
Thanks so much! I have no plans to stop ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos are super helpful and informative for people that do their own nails, Ive learned so much just by simply watching your nail tutorials, thank you so much, new subscriber ❤❤⭐️⭐️💗💗😊😊
Thanks so much! I’m still learning too, no matter how many years I do my own nails, there’s always a new tip or trick to discover.
Thank you for the info!
I hope it’s helpful ❤️
I love that purple on the nails! My volunteer gig involves scanning bar codes of donated books and often I am guilty of scraping stickers off with my nails. I really need to figure out a better method. I’m constantly reminding the kids not to use teeth as a tool, I need to take my own advice.
Oooh yeah that’s prime opportunity to get peeling at the tips. I’d use either a box cutter or a butter knife for a less accident prone option.
Thanks for the great video. I use all your tips regularly. Lately I’ve had a frustrating problem with any dashing diva semi cured strip that are supposed to look like glitter. Those are just popping off like press ons. Curious if that’s been your experience as well. All the best!
Hmmm, I haven’t bought their glaze strips in ages, so I wonder if maybe it’s a batch issue. But no, I haven’t had this problem. I’d email DD pictures of what’s happening. They might send you a replacement.
I would also suggest that women do not do dishes or gardening without gloves. Some of these strips are expensive. It's best to protect them.
Agreed! But even with bare nails, gloves are great for protecting the skin
They are
What is the base coat? I don’t see a link for it. Love your videos! So much great info.
The only one I’ve had is ohora
@@kbeautyhobbityou’ve given me the courage to do my nails and I love the results. My question: does curing a top coat to seal make removal harder or require a different process like soaking? Thank you so much :)
@cbycc no difference in removal!
Thank you for all your tips! What is the semi-cured strips you like the most or the ones that last longer based on your experience?
I’m getting ready to make an updated nail ranking video, but I’d say Nailog and ohora are both very good
@@kbeautyhobbit THANK YOU!
@@kbeautyhobbit thank you! You have a new subscriber 👍🏻
Thank you for your videos! I just tried dashing diva gloss for the first time and had a hard time trimming/filing them down without the sticker getting jagged. Any advice? I tried filing down at an angle like you suggested in your videos but since my nails are on the shorter side it’s hard to do that without hitting skin while filing, if that makes sense
How are you trimming them? Clippers? Scissors? I would use manicure scissors for the most precise trim and potentially not file at all. Or maybe let your nails grow out a tad for the next time to make it easier to file a bit.
I'll try that. Thx!
i found you months ago when i found nail wraps and saturated myself with how tos. you were the most informational. a question. i have a lot of nail strips and i change them out once a week or so. i use two or three opi natural nail basecoats. the no cure wrap and two coats no cure gel topcoat. which makes a thick nail. i did like some enough to keep one set on until the nail grew pretty far from the cuticle. it isn't lifting exactly just different heights. i want it to blend. do i just file with a fine grit and then put another coat on so that the transition is seamless and i can keep them on a bit longer? thanks
You can try that, just keep in mind that keeping any brand of nail strip on the nail longer than two weeks total isn’t recommended. The nails need exposure to air and water and so on. So it all depends on how long it’s been total for wear time. Mine look too grown out after 10-12 days, so it’s never an issue for me to stay at 14 days or under
ok thank you so much
Hey Lucy...someone online said that she used a UV lamp with strips that didnt require that. She said her edges bubbled.
Do you think that would happen with a UV top coat for non cured strips?
It doesn’t happen to me and I do it all the time. However I don’t just use it on stickers that don’t need UV without a top coat. I don’t know why that person would do that, seems a bit strange. With the top coat no issues. Check out any of my dashing diva gloss videos - I show that in those.
Hi Lucy, can you tell us which brand and color name in your opinion sells the best light pink creme (not sheer or semi-sheer, no shimmer) light pink semi-cured gel nail strips? That color and texture is what I wear exclusively, and I would love to know what you think is the best quality brand and color name that fits that description. Thank you!
I’m 100% not the right person to ask, because I don’t like pink color and avoid it as much as possible. I would look at ohora and lit gels as they both do semi sheer colors well.
Great tips. Lucy I need your advice. I got the ohora rainbow french semi cured strips. My natural nails aren't long enough to show the colors properly on the tips. I don't want the hassle of getting solid gel, and forms to create extentions. Esp since those require an e file to remove.
Do you think I will be able to "cheat" length by trimming the nail wrap tip the length I want, and then adding builder gel to harden the length to prevent breakage, and will that work? I'm not going to go nuts on the length I just want enough to show the colors.
Thanks.
I’m not experienced enough with builder gel to tell. It might work, but the under side of the wrap will be sticky if you allow it to go past the length of your natural nail.
@@kbeautyhobbitone lady used a coat of builder gel under the nail. What do you think of that? Like maybe a thin coat?
It sounds like too much work for me personally, plus too high of a risk of getting the builder gel on the skin of the finger pad. I’m all for others experimenting though.
@@kbeautyhobbit oh ok. Does sound like a lot. Ty for your opinion!
can I make them be a little longer than my actual nails?
Possibly but you’d have to deal with the under side being sticky. I haven’t done it personally
The best hidden tip with the squishlight is that you can flash cure your top coat on each finger so it doesn't slip or slide around before putting your whole hand in the lamp. Personally I use the squishlight for about 10-15 seconds on the strips, then apply top coat and flash cure for 10-15 seconds, and then I do the full cure according to the topcoat (usually 60 seconds) in the lamp since the top coat is crystal clear. I find this technique helps sheer strips from becoming overcured and cracking. I also prefer a no wipe topcoat with SCG strips.
Do you just hold the squish light a bit away from the nail when doing flash curing? To avoid smooshing the jelly bit into the top coat?
@kbeautyhobbit I actually remove the squishy bit just in case and just hold it a little bit away from the nail. :) Never close enough to touch or smudge anything.
@neonhol0gram this is such a great tip!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@kbeautyhobbit I also use it to set/flash cure my builder gel. I would do a full cure of the builder gel layer before adding topcoat of course.
@neonhol0gram glad you mentioned this because that’s immediately the thought I had - do use it for a flash cure of the builder gel. I’m very new to using builder gel but I love it so far.
Thanks this is great can you try curvlife nails
I have. They are terrible.
@@kbeautyhobbit thank you
