- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2021
- Ok, so my expectations were wildly exceeded by these decal strips! Not to mention how easy it was to use with the builder gel, and what an amazing outcome I got! I swear these look like a $100 set from a salon for under $20 at home in under 30 minutes. I mean, can we really ask for more?

I’m so glad I came across your channel‼️🥰. I have a drawer full of them, thanks to my Sister (she passed away 2years ago now) because she loved using them! She bought me some because I usually don’t get my nail’s done because of my work (Chef). But I will DEFINITELY be trying this method out because I will be able to change them in honor of my Sister🤗❤️😔❤️
That's so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Glad you are here ☺️
If you find that the strips don't stick due to old age, try wiping the inside down with some acetone.
Sorry to hear about your sister,
Mrs Mason ur last name is my 9 year old first name spelled a lil different MāSon & im sorry to hear about ur sister now she watching u do ur beautiful 💅🏼 🕊️😇💕🦋
@@queenkeeekeee 🫶🏾🥰I love how you spell his name and Thank you for your kind words about my Sister 🙏🏾. I miss her and I believe she is💜💜💜‼️
If you file downward, instead of side to side, they file quite a bit easier.♡
Who needs expensive nail shops when one can have such beautiful results. I am loving Dashing diva decals and nails. Learn how to do both at home and is so economical. Thanks for the tutorial. 🦋💐💅🏽
You're so welcome. 100% agree!
I am brand new to this, can you tell me what you are using. Builder Gell, decals , etc
Thank you for the brilliant suggestion to turn hands upside down to self-level!
You are so welcome!
It’s best to wear Dashing Diva for 5days first. Make sure you push your cuticles back super far. Use a 100 grit and a dehydrator or rubbing alcohol, then apply the wrap super close in the cuticle area so after a week the out grow is at a good spot Then add gel to prevent the edge lift Ian’s hair catching. There really is no need for a gel when Seche Vite top coat is extremely fast drying and it’s equivalent to a gel. Dashing Diva lasted 3months on my slow growing nails! 3months. I used a polish that matched and once I even used a glitter to add a cuticle smile on the outgrow. If you polish off the cuticle area w a qtip a bit and then wash some dishes they come off super easy.
I see this was 2yrs ago… it’s timeless! I also love the dashing diva et al - nail stickers/ decals . I’ve been using them directly onto clean nails .. but after watching your video- I’m going to add some gel . Your video was excellent.😊
Wow! Love that! I’m a fan of the nail strips. Can’t wait to try with builder gel! Thanks Amber!
I had the same set! Yes, the rose gold geometric design was so nice! 💖
This looks beautiful!
Thank you for your transparency! GOOD JOB THEY LOOK GOOD! 👌🏾👏🏾
Thank you for the info. These look great.
That looks great, can't wait to try these🥰 thank uou
Your nails are gorgeous! I’m going to try this!
I used these for the first time, tonight. Totally amazed. Super easy.
Great idea!
I wear these and I love them. I can wear for up to 2 weeks. Thank you for the builder gel info.💛💛
I love how you said take your time. That's a great tip. It works.
I love dashing diva! I'm still learning how to master them. I am keeping my nails very short and the edge part is driving me nuts lol! Nowhere to tuck under, still a work in progress. You can also stretch them to fit corners if too small. They're very flexible.
Genius. You came up with this? That was so smart! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Love your tutorial!!!t
Thanks for the tips
I love this tutorial!! THANKYOU they are stunning
Thank you!
@@AmberRileysLife have you tried soaking off ?
Tried it!! It works AMAZINGLY! Love it! Thank you!
Also purchased this builder gel and top coat! Love them too!
That was great thanks. I think I can do that myself now...well I'll give it a try.
looks nice !
Beautiful! I just did my nails this morning and with that same one.
Awesome! Thanks so much.
Love this! I have builder gel and bought a bunch of these, so I'm excited to try!
You're going to love these results. I'm stunned!
Beautiful! I always use the dad gloss and I always use a gel top coat. Now I’ll include a gel builder bc I see how nice it looks on your nails! Thank you 🙂
Gr8 camera, camera angle & editing! quick ,EZ to understand & follow. A+
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹
Thank you! This feedback really helps me to find what works and what doesn't. I'm always trying to improve. ♥
I’m blown away! I have never used gel builder and top coat nor the lamp. I was very nervous…wow! That was so easy and now my manicure with DD strips looks even BETTER! Thx for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you for supporting my channel ❤️
Yes, I absolutely love these! I am not going to sit still long enough to let regular nail polish dry.
Thank you so much! I used your tips and did the best looking manicure I have ever done before!
Omg! I'm so happy my video was helpful. Thanks for the support ♥
I love Dashing Diva Gloss nail strips! I use an Orly Bonder base coat and they are looking beautiful, even with no topcoat. I can see why one would want to build up and/or extend them, but I like the natural feel of them. Thank you for a lovely and detailed tutorial.
Thanks so much for watching ♥
I just found you and loved how you did this and am going to try it. Your nails look beautiful.
Thank you so much!
wow so glad i came across your page, those look great. cant wait to try it out. nail salons will be so mad 😝
May I ask why u didn't leave them on the full two weeks? Also I think the fact that u use the top coat n builder gel is a game changer for these wraps. I've seen other videos of people applying these nails n they don't even last a day, u really did it right. Thank u
I am excited to see your tutorial. Thank you.
What a great way for a quick mani with beautiful results! I need to go buy some of these ASAP haha!
Yes girl! You will not be disappointed.
You inspired me to get the gel/topcoat and a bunch of random decal strips to try this out! Thanks Amber ❤
You're so welcome, let me know how it turns out!
@@AmberRileysLife I'm a gel newbie (I just ordered the Sally Hansen starter kit with the lamp the other day, it hasn't even gotten here yet!) and then I saw you have the same orange lamp ❤ You mentioned curing it for a minute or 90 seconds, so that's 2 or 3 Sally lamp cycles right?
Yes I believe it's a 30 second cure. I always cure each layer twice in the Sally lamp. I got that thing in a started kit at target ages ago and it's still working like a champ!
I just bought 3 different kind of packages and I’m so glad I came across you video! Perfect presentation
Thanks so much! ♥
@@AmberRileysLife question ??? Do you know if I can apply them over gel nails? I love the place where I get my nails done the only with them is their decorating skills😔 kindly let me know pls. Even if you haven’t tried it when I do I’ll let you know if it’s a Go or No. thank you!
@@kayc8088 yes I do believe it would be the same as applying over builder gel. You could even take them to the salon and ask them to encapsulate them in gel for you.
I just bought this for the 1st time!
You have beautiful nails and hands. I watched your tutorial and will apply my Dashing Diva nails. Hope comes out nicely like yours😊
I’ll recommend using tweezers when applying the nail strips
I’ve always seen these at Walmart and I always pick them up then put them back down. I’m going to try these
I have been trying find something that does not use nail glue. I can’t wait to try this way of having beautiful nails. They look like they are from a nail salon
Oooooooooooooooo😯😍 I would litterally pay her to do my nails that have been clipped short & BA-HORING for years! Seriously I will actually try this thank you for the tutorial! I've seen a couple other videos without using the builder gel and wasn't impressed at all...this is a game changer!
Thank you so much for the great compliment!!
Thank you for this tutorial it’s beeb really helpful. I usually do the full debacle with gel etc and I want to shorten the time I spend doing them. I have a set of wraps but not used because I was worried they would just come unstuck. Using the builder gel and top fiat is a great idea. Will try it out this week 💅🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
Hi, I did give it a try but the wraps I had started to break up. They were past there best so resorted to 5D stickers. First time using them and I’m impressed! When I next get wraps I will remember your method. I used a thin layer of gel foil glue, once painted and cured, which makes sure they are stuck down then top coat. I suppose you could use a thin coat of builder like you do for extra life. I think I will do that today and top coat actually 💡🤔 Thank you for your suggestion 💅🏻
I actually just got my first set of Dashing diva nail strips today and I put them on without encapsulating them and they came off in minutes. thank you for making this video to help me!❤️❤️❤️
My first set stayed on for a month lol ! And no lies, I had a few adult beverages prior to applying them lol ! I did swap a few out.. bc of user error & I hit 2 while scrubbing grout in my bathroom... but I was in shock they stayed on that long lol !
I used an electric blue is gorgeous. I add rhinestones. For removing just use hot water and down soap.
Beautiful hands and nails!
Love this video! Is that Clear Builder Gel or the Nail Guard that you have on your nails before you add the nail decals?
I just purchased diva nail guard Sally’s for $9.00! Thanks so much for tips
You are very welcome. thank you for supporting my channel
Thank you very pretty.
My cuticles are too round for these kinds of decals. I'm so jelly watching you just pop em on lol
I've never used dashing diva, but some how I came across this video and now I have to try them!
Yea definitely do! Thanks for the comment ♥
Thank you for this grest idea,do you know if nail guards are still being sold? I can't find them anywhere!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I just started getting into Dashing Diva and their beautiful nail strips. Question? Did you apply the nail guard and then a layer of builder gel before the nail strips??
I put a layer of builder gel right onto my natural nails and then wiped off the sticky layer with some alcohol. Then I went right into the nail strip. Because my natural nails are pretty oily, this builder gel just peels right off when I'm ready for a change. Thanks so much for being here!
I love the nail polish strips but I can NEVER get them to not pucker on the sides! I don’t know if it’s because I have a very curved high nail arch or what. However I plan to try this method to see if it’ll work out any better.
It looks like you have a coat of builder gel already on your nails before you applied the decal, is that correct. I use Aimile builder and top coat and have diva decals coming this week. Can't wait to try it.
hi Amber, in this video, are you also wearing nail guards under your builder gel?
How does it work applying the strips over the sticky builder gel? Is it as easy to readjust them as when they have been buffed?
Before you put on the strips is there a cop top on your nails or just the base builder gel?
First step have gorgeous nails already
I'll definitely going to try it, thank you for the tutorial!
And how do you remove it?
You can soak off. Thanks for watching!
My light is 56 watts. Should it take 5 or 6 times to dry so it's not still tacky. I used LILY AND FOX wraps. Only used 2 base builder voats and a top coat over wraps. Long ti.e to no be tacky
This looks beautiful. I’m really going to try this with my mail polish strips. What top coat would you recommend using for nail polish strips and regular polish that is not gel that doesn’t cause shrinkage. I seem to have the perfect manicure and then I use my topcoat(I’ve tried several because I love the shiny gel look) and then I notice my polish has shrunk all around my cuticles and tip of my nails. It’s so discouraging. Do you have any advice?
Yes! Maniology has a no smudge topcoat that is safe to use on top of decals and even stamping and will not smudge or shrink your nail art! I just love it. I use it in some of my newer stamping videos if you want to see how it applies. I know I definitely used it on my encapsulating decals in clear dip powder video on top of the nightmare before Christmas Decals I used! I feel like finding a good top coat is a struggle and I've tried so many!
I only had to add Gel top coat on my nail strips and they nor only lasted a long time but the removal was way easier
What is the advantage of using builder gel vs the naked nail? I just put the stickers on my naked nails.
I found some dashing diva at Marshals for $4. I am excited to try u technique.
Oh very cool! Let me know how it turns out for you!
Ok love this. I never heard of builder gel before? I actually am familiar with "Color Street", I'm gonna be honest it's WAY TO EXPENSIVE! Color Street is supposed to last "up to" 14 day's. Ha not for me I can barely get them to look good for 4 day's! I do everything right by the way, during the application of Color Street! I prep and clean my nails and still after 3-4 day's they crack and start to lift on bottom edges! I even put on a top coat to protect the color street! So as you can imagine I scoured the internet looking for cheaper alternatives, that still give a great result and LAST! I found Dashing Diva and Ohora, but Ohora is still to expensive. I have not tried the Dashing Diva polish strip yet, because Dashing Diva so far by looking at it, is much smaller than color street. That's fine if you got petite nail beds and not so long nails. My natural nails are long and I like them that way. I am hoping like other nail polish strips, Dashing Diva can be gently pulled to widen and lengthen. Thank you for this video.
Can you tell me what you meant when you said I have to do a fill on the builder gel what does that mean before you put your next set on. Tks
I’m already a huge fan of Dashing Diva after being a dedicated Color Street buyer for a couple years. Dashing Diva can be a little tricky but they LAAAAST. I’m not much of a girly girl so I have never even heard of builder gel but after your video I must try it!
PS: ironically I was applying the exact same set of nail strips when I came across this video
@@Julz5413 this is awesome! You will have to try it out with builder gel. It will just add that extra layer to strengthen your nails, prevent breaking and chipping and it will encapsulate the strips so they last forever!
Thank you for this video. I was trying out the gel nail strips, but just using them as advertised and they were pealing up - sometimes in a matter of hours. Mostly following your video (I didn't use builder gel just base and top) anyway - I'm rocking the strips - starting 3 weeks. They have grown out, but still look great. I have been debating taking them off for a new set, but I am going to buy some builder gel and use that to fill in the damaged area from the acrylic nails i wore for 10 years.
Did you put the base coat on top or underneath the nail strips?
@@sushiphobia just underneath. I am going to do my nails again soon and add the builder base, especially to the tips and the base under and on top.
I am so new when it comes to nails but what do you mean towards the end when you say you are going to do a quick fill? Like you are use a prime coat right?
Awesome! I have the same lamp too! I tried this for the first time and I get some lifting (if I poke at it) but not a lot. Any idea why that might be? I actually use DDs base polish before I apply the strip and then I do the same process you did. I do try to cap my edges but my nails are super short! Any recommendations? I still have the same set now, would it be possible to cap them now instead of starting over? ☺️
Oh yea! Gel is so adaptable. In my experience I've painted over a top coat and have sealed my nails. Right now I just have builder base with clear dip powder cured with the gel method then buffed. I'll wear them like that for a few days and then I'll put on gel base, polish and top coat! You can even buff your top coat off a bit and then do a fresh top coat and cap your edges. Let me know how it goes!
i would love to try the nail guards but cant get them from anywhere. cannot get dashing diva stuff here in the uk.
Do you have to use a light cure lamp or can you let it air dry?
Hi, what do you use before you put on the gloss strips
Ok,I did it two days ago,and it lifted up...how do I fix this?🙏🏽
Could you tell me which decal set this is. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find the ones with the glitter at cuticle line.
I have the builder gel and top coat. I applied one coat of the builder gel to my natural nails and it just wouldn't dry down. I even put my hand under the UV lamp and it stayed very tacky. Is the normal?
I just discovered your channel. I also just bought Dashing Diva nail strips. I'm new to nails. I don't have any gel or a UV lamp. Can I just put a top coat on top of the strips?
Yes you can! Welcome to the group 😊
Excited to try this ! Question: did you wipe the first layer of builder gel before you put the stickers on? Loved your video!
Yes I did. I just used alcohol to take off the tacky layer. Thanks so much ♥
Beautiful! Hey ? for you. What r nail gurards? Thanks
Checkout my Playlist on the dashing diva nail guards. They are basically a strip you lay down before you do your nails and then they just lift up and peel off so you don't have to soak off or deal with unpredictable peel base! I love them under dip powder.
You can get this style and many others at TJ Maxx/Marshalls for $4.99 usually :)
Hi there! These are absolutely beautiful! Did you use nail guards with this set? Also....I'm thinking about doing nail extensions with the wraps and encapsulating them just like in the video....would they come off easily with nail guards but still stay on for 2-3 weeks?
BTW...I'm using solid gel glue to adhere the nail extensions.
Hi! I didn't use nail guards with this set but you absolutely could! I would recommend topping the decals with a top coat to give them extra staying power!
@@AmberRileysLife I did a set tonight to match my Easter dress. They turned out beautiful! I'll let you know how long they last with the nail guards and nail extensions and nail decals. I wish I could send you a picture! Thank you for all the great advice!
If you can find these in TJ Maxx, snatch them up! They’re as little as $3.99 sometimes!
Could you use these on top of polygel or acrylic?
Yes absolutely. They have a sticky base so will work on top of pretty much anything.
Did you have anything on your nails BEFORE putting on the strip? Or, were they bare? I’m excited to try👌👏👏
Yes she mentioned she used Ameli builder gel before applying the nail strips😊
Is your top coat needed to be used with uv light? And is it last longer than regular top coat without UV light?
Yes and yes. It's a gel top coat. The light cures it and it lasts much longer than regular top coat.
Amber, have you tried the Dashing Diva Glaze? If so, did you use it with Aimeili base and top coat?
I have not! Is that their polish? I'll have to look into that. But I have tried many gel polish brands and almost exclusively use the aimeli builder base and top coat and it pairs with all products beautifully. This has been my go to set since I stumbled upon it on Amazon!
@@AmberRileysLife I use Aimelie, too. The Glaze are a nail strip by Dashing Diva, except semi-cured. I just tried the process that you used with Aimeili and Glaze. I will see how it lasts.
How do you match the cuticles bed the same size as the sticker?
😍😍😍
Did you apply anything underneath the base/bottom coat of builder gel? A gel primer or anything?
No. Just straight into my natural nails.
I don't have very long nails...yes I'm a nail biter and they're down to the nubs. Could I do press on nails and then use the builder gel over the dashing diva nail strips on the fake press on nail?? And use a top coat? I plan on getting Daily Charme Essential Kit to apply the nails....or should I just apply the builder gel to my horribly short nails and say who cares?
Both options are good! If you want to rock long nails you can use it over the extensions. Or if you want to rock shorties... The builder gel will give you some added strength to your natural nail! ❤️❤️
Additional note...I believe they're plastic and water got between them and my nails, which is what weakened them. CS are actually nail polish. I've never had an issue with the CS brand.
These are good to use while treating nail fungus if you’re embarrassed to leave your nails unpainted during treatment. ✨
Great idea! I am dealing with my first case of that and it's very disturbing!
@@AmberRileysLife did you get fungus because of the nai wraps
@@AmberRileysLife how did you cure it?
@@poolahpot no need to cure the strips if you use them alone. However, if you use with gel products you can cure with a lamp.
@@AmberRileysLife oh i'm sorry....i meant how did you heal from the nail fungus.
Hi, I just read through all the questions to see if anyone else asked this ... I know you said to use the builder gel base coat first and wipe off the tacky with alcohol, do you have to cure first and then wipe off the tackiness? Probably a dumb question but I want to be sure! Thanks, great video!
Yes cure first and then leave the tacky layer or wipe off depending on what works best for your application. I like a smooth surface (wipe off with alcohol) for decals and I like to leave the sticky surface if I'm going in with gel or dip powder. Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions!
@@AmberRileysLife thank you so so much for your quick reply! I'll be trying this later today ❤️
Where are you finding the nail guards?! I thought they discontinued them. I switched to a peel-off gel base coat.
Walmart, target, ulta pretty much any big box store.
Hi what's the item name of this Dashing Dvia Gloss Gel strips? so pretty!
Dashing diva gloss strips I believe. You can find them at Walmart.
Would it be crazy to do a gel pedicure with the builder gel? Would love to have the volume look on my toes too! :)
I do it every time I do a pedi. I can do a tutorial on my method if you'd like!
@@AmberRileysLife Yes! I would love thaat!
i tried this and it took me like 2 plus hours, idk if i got a messed up batch but i had a hard time with the strips fitting my nails and my nails came out very rubbery 😭.
