- ⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️: according to nail techs I follow, gel does not ruin your nails: improper removal of gel does. Or in my case, a new tool I bought which was way too sharp and dug into my nail - which is why I switched to a plastic scraper after. When you're soaking off gel polish, it should easily flake off or be soft enough to scrape off with ease. If you're struggling, then keep soaking until it comes off easily. What's worked for me as aftercare is to hydrate your hands and nails and give them a break for a day or two before applying your next gel/nail polish.
I finally have an update to my rubber base experiment! In conclusion, I liked it a lot and it definitely helped keep my nails from breaking or cracking. But it is not a replacement for hand/nail care and proper nutrition, etc, it is simply a product to add structure and strength to your nail (not a nail tech lol I just like to learn about things)

What do you remove gel polish with? I need a good remover 😩
You don’t have to cut your nails short to wear the strips.When I do my nails with them I stretch the gel strips a little bit to fit my nails.❤
Hey I’ve been struggling with keeping my nails long I used to bite them and now they are super short and I’m ashamed to wear them out because people are always telling me how short my nails are and I get sad because I’m really trying to grow them out but the pink part of my nail won’t grow my nails look like a 6 year olds nails so I was wondering if you recommended anything that’s good for me to put on my nails so that they can grow or so that I can at least stop biting them. I’ve already tried that nail coat that tastes bad but it doesn’t work I also apply cuticle oil every week and my nails aren’t growing at all so yeah I was hoping you could help
Thanks for the info but
DONT REMOVE YOUR NAILS THERE SO PRETTY AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE NAILS LIKE THAT but mine are short 😅
😊
Just trim them a tiny bit so they fit, don’t totally chop them all off!
ooooo that’s a good idea too - I just want some at the end to be able to see if they really do cure hard enough to bite into an apple
@@thegraytergoodyeah, they’re supposed to be like fake nails so some end part should be on the end, do you have any friends you could do it on? Or if you’re really alright with cutting your nails you could do it
@@thegraytergoodthat’s definitely false advertising, please just shorten your nails to the stickers size so you can test wearability, I wouldn’t chop them for something that’s been proven wrong 😩
I think you should be able to stretch them just a tad bit
@thegraytergood girl don't chop your nails off just for that. It won't be worth it... they're not all of that strong
the gel strips are meant to replace polish, not be extensions! Keep your nails, try the strips instead of polish, and review them. They're a good option for when you don't want to fuss with polish
true but in all of their ads they use them like extensions. that's also why they've been receiving so much backlash, because they don't work like that at all. i think as regular stickers it's cute but seems cheap and low quality, especially without a top coat
i think she meant that her nails are still too long for the strips she bought. so if she kept her nails this length and applied the strips the top of her bare nails would still peek out 😂
top 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ i meant end or edge, the edge* of her nails would still peek out
@@SerenityKST oh, maybe. The strips are pretty long, though, I've had to trim of a LOT every time I've used them.
@@nony690 The brands I've tried all looked great, but even with a base and top coat have a tendency to pop off unexpectedly. If you want to wear them for a specific event, put them on the night before or morning of, just in case.
literally you real nail's is so beautiful. 💅🏻
Frr
REALLLLL
I have had anxiety for so long and I chew up my nails and around them. I love watching these videos and wishing I had nails.
Same! but I just do it as a habit
Me too all the time
it took me years to kick the habit, but i promise u can do it! i have really strong healthy nails that i paint all the time now :)
@@onii_na4141Ive been struggling with picking at my nails/skin for many years now, but I managed to have really nice nails one summer. Then slipped back into the habit for many more years. I aspire to get nice nails I can paint again one day, it helps to know someone else did it!
Me too, been a nail biter for as long as I can remember. You’re not alone my friend 🫶
I can never seem to kick the habit. I’ve successfully stopped multiple times but I always fall back into it. Damn anxiety.
Your channel has been my inspiration to start doing my own nails!!! :)
aw that means so much to me 🥹💅🏻✨ hope you’ve been enjoying it!
Me to i love it now! ♥️
Same! I haven't done much, but I did some Valentine's Day nails that I was very proud of 😊
same!!
Same can I sub to u
⚠️DONT CUT THEM OFF⚠️ I tried the gel strips and they are not that strong as the video says they are!
⚠️Yes don't do it⚠️
⚠️yes don't do it⚠️
even if she does it, i think she could stretch them out a bit so they fit better on her nail
If you do chop them, I'd love to see more short nail art! I've had really short nails my whole life so I have no clue what to do other than solid colour lol.
definitely! I think it could be interesting to have one hand short and one hand long but I also don’t know if that will bother me lol
@@thegraytergood you should try it and see! Can always cut the other one down to match if it gets annoying.
Yesssss u love when y ok do short nail art!
@@thegraytergoodShort nails on your dominant hand and long ones on your non-dominant one could be a practical option.
Here is how to make the stickers work.
1. Roughen the surface of your nail with a file so they stick.
2. Use an alcohol wipe to clean.
3. Find the right size of nail.
4. Stick it to ur finger.
5. Cut the nail to the shape you want with scissors (step 7 is an alternative for this)
6. Cure under UV light for 60 sec.
7. Cut with nail clippers to desired length and shape (alternative)
8. File to smoothen
that’s it! hope it helped!
Do it!!! I’m SUUURE it will look good!!❤
your channel has helped me so much to take care of my nails ❤️
I'm so glad! 🥹💙💙💙
Me too 😀
Ooo I would love to see you try the gel strips! 😃
I feel like I need to have short nails to do it so I can see if the gel really does cure super hard? Like I saw someone dig into an apple and I wanna see if that’s legit
@@thegraytergoodI would just trim them a little bit! I’d love to see it as well just because they’ve piqued my interest but reviews have been 50/50.
@@thegraytergood I've been using gel strips for two years. They are not meant to make extensions. The "viral" videos infuriate me. The strips are meant to replace gel polish/builder gel overlay.
@@thegraytergood If you get a good brand they definitely set super hard. I routinely open soda and cat food cans with my (medium short) nails while wearing them. You can also add a single coat of gel top coat over them to smooth them out and make them even harder/last even longer, if you want. It doesn’t affect the removal and it stops the issue where sometimes they snag your hair.
The gel strips don't require acetone soak off for removal. It's a sticker. You just need some nail oil around the cuticle and use a wooden stick to rub under lifted areas gently
she wasn't using the gel stickers in this video she had actual gel polish on. She was talking about maybe using gel stickers in a future video.
Not how I do them, lol
As a nail tech, if you do it properly, you need acetone or a safer product like Offly Fast. Mine would barely come off with acetone. Maybe the brand I used was better than most. maybe my technique was better than most 🤷♀️
DOOOOO ITTTTTT❤❤❤ OMG, THEY WILL LOOK SO CUTEEEEEE❤❤
Love it! Yes, gel does not hurt your nails but improper removal does! So be careful with removing, also the more you take of gel and re apply the more pores your nails can have which can absorb bacteria and lead to infection so beware of that as well 🫶🏼
Gel strips would be good, but your nails are so pretty you should keep them a bit longer! ❤
I am a little bit worried that the gel strips will damage my nails, I’m not gonna lie
Yeah. I wanted to do gel strips but didn't do it after all bc my nails are kinda weak so I don't want to break them.
your channel has been so great for nail care, nail design ideas, nail art tutorials, inspiration, and motivation to help me continue my nail journey, thanks so much for always bringing a smile to my face
thanks so much for being here and supporting:) it means the world to me!
Your channel really inspired me to start learning nail art!! It's starting off amazing, please do try those nail strips!
aw yay, I’m so glad to hear it! 🥹💅🏻✨
Same! I just did a gorgeous gel manicure for the first time ever. I love it! I've never really been a "nail girl" cuz my nails were too weak. But I'm really taking care of my nails now and the only risk to them is my clumsiness 😅
i love your vids girl 😊
I think u should try the gel strips but don’t cut your whole nail just trim it because your real nail is beautiful ❤
Yesss! Please try the gel strips!! ❤❤❤
Gurl! don't cut them, they are beautiful 💅✨✨
Your real nails are so pretty ❤
You could still use the half cured gel strips without filing down your natural nails.
Place the gel strips further down your nail than at the cuticle line so they hang over the edge. Press down and cure. Clip off the overhang and file flush to your natural free edge. Take your builder gel in a bottle (Orly FX, I believe it was?) And fill in the space remaining on your natural nail with builder gel from the cuticle to just over the edge of the half cured gel strip. Paint over the clear builder gel with a gel polish color that coordinates to the gel strips and fade out the edge to ombre over the gel strips. Apply a topcoat to seal and wha-la! You're done. 😊 The nice thing about half cured gel strips is they're able to be used with other gels. Hope this helps!
Beautiful nails!
Literally my favourite TH-camr, I got into nail art after seeing you do AMAZING designs - I would like to see those nail strips because they are very controversial! 😁
Your nails are...

Try file removal & leave a *thin* layer no matter what! Works amazing for myself & others whos nails I do. 🥰
your nails are so beatiful dont do it 😭
You should definitely trim them and put the nail tabs on them ❤
I did try them 🤭
PLEASE BRING GRANNY ON THE PODCAST❤AND KEEP KENSIE
Use nail hardening it helps with growth and hardening the mail use it 2-3 times a week and 2 coats when you use it ❤❤❤❤
I agree improper removal of gel paint and acrylic paint destroy nails
You should try the gel nail sets!!!!
Your real nails are beautiful ❤️😍

Don’t chop them off!Your nails are so pretty,maybe try and out it without cutting your nails?
Those nails are so beautiful 😍
Honestly please keep ur nails. They are so pretty and would be a shame to chop off 🥺
Girl those nails are beautiful ,don't chop them off😢
I once had a new scraper that gouged all the way through the nail. Some of those are SHARP!!
OMG! PLS TRY THE GEL NAIL STICKERS!
I love so much nails❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I am subscribed to you. I love your videos.
girl it will look good 👍☺️
No don’t cut them! They’re beautiful
Just get longer gel nail things! Your nails are too beautiful to cut off!
No, I love your long hair, beautiful
No do not cut off your nails 💅🏼 because they are so long and beautiful pls
I dug out a chunk of my nail removing polish one time too. It seems to be the chemicals in the remove that softens the nails 💅 the longer you soak them.
Yup, I’ve noticed the nails feel really weak right after removal but once everything evaporates they feel much better
You do what you want girl
YOU DONT NEED TO CHOP YOUR NAILS when using the gell sticker nail thing you can stretch it out to you nail sizing ❤ idk if I am wrong or not correct me if I am ❤😅
Gel nails strips are pretty long. Your nails maybe too long for them. But, they are a great alternative to gel and acrylic and they’re easy to remove.
You can strech out the gel strips a bit before putting them on xx
dont chop them off!! just place the gel strip at the end of your nail! your nails are gourgeous
I personally love your nail length ❤️
DONT DO IT, YOUR NAILS, GURL, ARE PERFECT 😊❤😂😮😅
I wanna see the results of the gel strips !!! Just once and we won’t ever ask again 🧎🏻
Do an ombre look. Add the strips towards the end and fill in a different colour from the cuticle line 🙃🥰
Those nail beds😍😍😍❤
girl your nail beds are UNREALLLL as a nail tech student i wishhh
Don’t do it your nails are so pretty
Paddie Nails are the way to go. They are spectacular ❤
Do it do it you got it girl!
Girl your nails are a work of art I could never
If you were curious and didn’t know, that little white spot on your nail that you showed at the end means your low on iron, I have those on my nails as well so I ate food with more iron then they went away, hope this is helpful😄🥳🫠
Don’t chopped them all off they’re so pretty😊
Her nails are beautiful
Nooooooo! Never soak off. What happened to you will happen regardless, just on a smaller scale. The scraper or orange wood stick or whatever you use puts micro fissures in your nail plate and that’s how allergies form. The micro fissures allow the melted gel and acetone to get into your blood stream. If you HAVE to soak off, use a file to buff the melted gel off. There isn’t really a reason to completely remove the product unless you’re using a new system. You can use a hand file to take it down thin and reapply, nails are dead - they never have to “breathe”.
Please don't chop them of they look so good 😊
Those Ohora gel strips do work!!
I swore by them before I realized how much easier (and cheaper) it was for me to just paint my nails with gel polish that self levels.
I would cure the strips once and then file them down.
Then apply 2-3 layers of really good gel top coat.
If done really well, then they can last for weeks.
I use my hands a LOT, so they tend to wear down fast for me personally.
Please do it but please don’t go overboard❤❤
According to nail techs gel doesn't damage your nails but obviously they get a little bit thin every time you use it so i recommend you to everytime you use gel live them in peace for like a week and then use it again so they are not gonna turn really thing
Beautiful 🤩
So so so so cute!!!! 😍😫
I wouldn't bother with it, unless something else happens (like breaking a nail). Your nails are so pretty already!
I'd like to see it and hear a full update on how long they lasted and how everything went
The strips are meant to be pulled on and stretched onto the nail if it doesn’t fit.
Do it girl you got this. Plus they'll just grow back real quick anyway
Yes show us cutting ur long nails my nails don’t grow anymore so this is so appealing to me 😢😢😢😢😢😢
If you heat up the gel strips then you can stretch them to fit
I think you can stretch the gel sticker a little so you might actually be able to gently manipulate it to fit your nail without changing the length
