I’ve been using then since January. I like them, so far each set I’ve done lasts me a more than 2 weeks. I cut the excess with nail clippers and save the end to do my toes. So i get manicures plus pedicures out of my strip sets. I do put a layer of regular top coat to help seal them so there’s no gaps that could potentially get my hair stuck.
They don't want to stay on, there thin and feel incredibly cheap! The sticky stuff has gone away and it just doesn't work! I'm really glad I got them pretty cheap ❗🚩I have used a different brand in the past from Ulta beauty, that we're totally amazing, and they actually worked! But they don't carry them anymore and I don't remember the name sadly!
I just started using nail strips about a month ago, ordered a set from Amazon that has 72 strips with a variety of designs. First, I love the option of being able to mix and match. Secondly, if you have any mishaps or misapplications you have many more left available. I have found that applying a base coat first helps them to adhere better and last longer, in addition to using a top coat. Bottom line, as someone who has always experienced chronic chipping from using regular polish, I love these strips. They're relatively quick and easy to use, and you can get a lot of wear and use out of them. Also I found some pretty Dashing Diva strips for $5 which I haven't tried yet because I'm still having fun trying the others, but I'm excited to check them out.
FILING DOWN MADE THIS WORK SO WELL!!! thank you for sharing, I was getting so frustrated with the little bits on the end. But filing down made them perfect and I was able to correct the corners
I love this! OMG! I bought some without thinking because the checkered pattern looked cool and difficult to do with polish, but I had no idea what do with them when they arrived. Also, being over 50 my eyes aren't what they used to be. Me attempting to read fine print instructions nowadays is like watching a comedy of errors, so *THANK YOU* for this tutorial! ♡
One tip from my experience...save the mirrored strip from the packaging. Once you use the stickers you need, store your remaining strips with the shiny foil between them. That keeps the nail stickers from sticking to each other. Mine got so stuck I had to toss some of them.
I just tried these tonight, and I can’t believe how easy it was to do and how great my nails look! You and I did my nails “together,” because I pulled up your video and watched your giving of instructions through the entire process! Thanks for “dropping by!”
I am late to this party 😆 We are heading into the end of 2024 and I never even heard of these strips before but I recently stopped getting my nails gelled and so they’re super thin and short. I think this will add life and strength to my nails as they grow back without the use of gel. This is very exciting! Thank you so much!🎉 BTW… You are simply gorgeous, Lady!👍
I received these as a gift and was not sure exactly on how to use them, I will try them this weekend , your video has been very helpful, thank you so much 💕
I just tried these recently...awesome!!! I had to take them off for a manicure. I’m allergic to acrylics, gels, nexgen...tried them all. Can’t even wear nail polish. These are amazing and lasted for over 2 weeks.
That’s wonderful to hear they worked so well for you!! Knowing that you are allergic to all the other nail products probably made you super excited to find something that works!😘
I have been using DD Gloss for two years, unfortunately, nail polish chips in less than 48 hrs after applying. I suggest pushing your cuticles back and sanding the nail slightly to remove any ridges you may have. Then use the alcohol pad to remove any powder or oil from the nail bed. Apply the strip just under the cuticle -- you'll get three weeks out of a mani. You can cut the excess strip off the nail with a small scissor or file it off in one direction with a nail file. Apply a coat of clear polish and you're good to go.
LOVE these so much! A friend introduced me to them back in March and I have not stopped using them. I will say the ones I order online are easier to apply than the ones I got in the store. I don't know if the strips sitting on the shelves makes a difference or what, but that has been my experience. I highly recommend ordering them online. Also Aqua's Beauty Nail Strips and Nails Mailed are great options. They wear down faster than Dashing Diva, but are also a few dollars cheaper.
I’m so happy to hear you are a big fan of these too!! I actually ordered a few designs from their website so now I’ll be able to compare to the ones in the store. Sounds like you may be on to something there! I’ve not tried those other brands but will have to check them out. Thanks for the tips!😊
Thank you for the instructions. And the comments have great suggestions too - so thanks to your viewers. I’m going to give these a try and just in time for the holiday season.
These kinds of nail stickers are so perfect. I have trouble with tips I think I’m filing too vigorously. If they’re still sticking few days/week in you can fill in the base of your mail with a couple dabs of glitter nail polish to hide the line of demarcation. Thx for sharing!
Great detailed video.You also can use a lil oil of your choice and a floss pick starting from the base of the nail. They also have the dashing diva red therapy as a base seal treated before applying the strips.
Thank you for your care in explaining & filming! Gonna try these really soon. Couldnt stop staring at your beauty! Your hair, skin, smile, teeth, lashes, eye makeup, coloring...just lovely! Even your brows are soooo on point. I cant even guess your age! Your profession agrees with you!
Ulta and Sally’s sell them too! Also I find that using a Uv gel top coat and curing in a lamp for one minute. They last even better! I’m a dog groomer so I need that extra strength.
I agree. I use a gel topcoat too. I'm a nurse and the hand sanitizer breaks down the strips. Using the gel topcoat to seal them makes them last a least 2 weeks for me.
I am so pleased with these Diva nail strips. After watching your video I applied them (took a bit longer than 5 minutes but I am confident the next time will be faster) and have worn them consistently since. I go lane swimming twice a week and it hasn’t affected them at all - no lifting whatsoever. It’s been almost 2 weeks now and I had just a bit of chipping on one nail at the tip that I filed down. I’m so pleased as I have very weak nails and it seems I have tried every option out there from remedies to acrylic to gel to press ons and all were damaging to the nail and nail bed plus they were expensive. I have found my permanent solution if they stay available.
I use them in between salon visits and I really love them. I use Essie all-in-one top & base coat with it and They've stayed on for a month and some change. Before I started using the Essie as a top coat, I didn't use anything besides the DD Red therapy base seal & They wouldn't even stay on for a week.
This is a nice alternative to going to the salon. I used to get silk nails before covid and I haven't gone back since. My nails were damaged and have finally grown back to a more healthy nails. I'm getting really good at manicure but unfortunately they don't last very long! Thanks for the video! ❤
i'm new to this type of polish so ty for the tips 💗 So far i'm not super stoked for my hands--i think i prefer my regular gel polish. But i adore these for pedis!!!!🥰 I hate the multiple layer of gels you have to do, and curing time..ugh--So these strips are amazing!!! Just slap them on, trim and done. So much easier and faster!!! Plus i can change them up whenever i want, and bonus there are strips tiny enough for my tiny little baby toe nail. I'll have to practice to get my hands right but i already am loving how cute they make my toes look. TY so much for great tips!💐
I just bought these strips the other day at ULTA. I also tried the ons that you use the led light with. The Dashing Diva that you use the light with stay on really good in fact so good that they were a little hard to remove. They in my option aren't as easy to put on. Took me like 45 min to get them done. But they came out pretty darn good for my first try. These strips look much easier. Should have started with the easy ones first lol😉 Love all your tutorials on make up & hair. You are one very beautiful lady.😘❤
Thank you for this video I just got mine today at Sally’s beauty. I was so excited about getting them but I wanted to make sure I was applying them on right and your video made it so easy for me to follow thanks again 😁🙋🏾♀️
This video is going to assist me with learning how to apply them. Very helpful! I too just purchased one package at Ulta, and Ulta sells the pre pads too.
I have a few packs of these waiting to be applied, but wanted to make sure I was doing it right so of course I came to TH-cam! Very helpful. Looking forward to trying these.
Oh yay! I’m so happy my video came to your rescue! I’m the same way.....TH-cam is usually my first source I go to when I need to learn how to do something😘 Hope you enjoy your new nails!
It's always best to start from the pinky. This way if you need your thumb, you can have it available. Also, once you put the strips on, use the rubber cuticle pusher to really press the edges down on all sides. Finally, for longevity, you can use a gel polish on top to seal the free edge and to give extra shine to the strip. Make sure the gel doesn't need to be cured under the UV light unless you are using semi cured strips.
I bought these and we didn’t know if it was a good brand but now listening to you they sound good and tonight I’m gonna try them. Thank you this video helped
Your video woke me up to these nail strips. They look great on your hands!!! I bought some and tried them and loved them. Your video was very enlightening helpful and informative. I usually use the impress nails but I like these as well if not better because they last soooo long and I can do a lot with them on. I put several topcoats and they are perfection. The impress nails are great but they can pop off. These nail strips are a great addition to my diy salon nail collection.
Yay!! So happy to hear that you have fallen in love with these nail strips too! They are so fun and I love that there are constantly new designs released🥰
I ended up finding these at Five below, and everytime I return I buy every different set they have for that time lol. For sure you can mix and match and be more creative with these. I like all the glitter ones, so gorgeous.
I bought these a few weeks ago and decided to put these on today, so this video is great timing. Any tips for avoiding creasing and bubbles at the tip when you’re ready to fold them over?
Oh I'm so glad this came at just the right time! Be sure to smooth up from the cuticle to the end of the nail. Then as you fold the end over your nail, pull it tight and press it along the edge of the nail before filing😊
I absolutely love these!..on my 4th set now, and I finally have the knack of using them..also... I do use a base and top coat...also..I do my thumbs last, so I can use them to help get the other strip on other nails
Thank you for this delightful tutorial with your tips and observations! I just bought my first set, and after watching your video, I feel much more confident about what to do. I love the slight randomness of your design. Inspires me to try something new. The video was as soothing and pleasant to watch as it was informative. (Weird, but true. I felt serene watching and listening to your video.) I’m new to your channel, so maybe you already do this, but if not, maybe consider recording ASMR as part of your channel. I think folks would enjoy it! Ciao and grazie!
SOLD! I want to do my nails really nice for the holidays and I know my regular polish will not last the full week I am away, so I am going to try these! I have been looking at press on's too, but your review here has made my decision.. Thank you!
I noticed that the more I wore them, the easier it was for them to keep sticking. Also, sometimes I've just pressed them right back down if they were coming up... and they stayed. I agree, super cute and easy!
anytime I have one of the strips lift up on the tips, I pull it back a bit and put clear nail polish on my nail and hold the strip back down. I have had a set of these on my nails for a month. the shear-ness of some of the colors blends right in with the nail growth at the base of my nails.
I’ve been doing gel nails for a long time but it was fun watching you apply the clever nail strips a quick and easy way to be creative. Enjoyed another Sunday solo. Looking forward to your next selection. 💖
I love this idea! I wonder if it can cause long term thinning of nails like dip polish or gel manicures? One “blessing” of COVID , if that’s even a good term, is that my thin nails have grown back healthy from not getting regular dip manicures.
There ya go....seeing the blessing amidst our great trial...love it😘 I think as long as you are careful with the removal, they shouldn't cause damage like the dip polish and gel. Since you aren't filing the top of your nail each time, I think that also helps.
I switched to these during quarantine and I don't think I'll go back to traditional manicures unless I have a fancy occasion. There has been ZERO harm to my nails and the stickers provide enough protection somehow that my nails got longer than I could ever grow them on my own. For me, these things have offered all the good aspects of gel nails - stays shiny, no chipping, 14 day wear, stronger but none of nail damage or cost. I'm not a paid spokesperson but I should be because I've become a total disciple about these things!!
I’m actually going to try these to give my nails a break. I was doing polish and got tired of all the time it took so did dip at home.. Quickly found it thinned my nails almost as much as when I did acrylics years ago. So I’m going to cut my nails very short and try this to give them a break.
It looks GREAT! Thanks for the helpful tutorial. I have just become a fan of these this weekend. I had a STEEP learning curve, LOL, so I wasted a LOT of strips tryin to figure out the sizing AND getting the application down. My finished manicure looks great though, so now I just need to see how long they last.
They’re also at Sally Beauty! We carry a bunch of different styles and right now we have Halloween special edition gel strips and they’re super cuuute!
I love and frequently use Color street nail strips but I may need to try these. I've seen them at Sally's. Although not really needed, I find my Color Street nails last a little bit longer when I apply a good quality top coat to them. That may also help with these....especially for those of us who are rough with our hands.
Yes, I think you'd really enjoy these, especially since they are a LOT cheaper than Color Street! Several others told me they have used a top coat with these. I tried it and it did seem to smooth the surface and seal the edges a bit better😊
Mine stick for 3 or 4 weeks. I just have to take them off for new growth. While my nails are short, I just cut them in half so I can use one for two nails. I think these Dashing Diva nail strips are easier to put on than the Color street ones. I am not sure how long the Colorstreet ones last as I just put some on that I got as a gift for Christmas. I rough up my nail just a tad with a nail file before putting the strips on. It helps make sure the oils are removed from my nails. I have worn glue on nails for many years. I was starting to have issues with the green on my nails so these are great to give them a break from the glue ons. I can never keep regular polish on for more than a couple of days no matter what kind of prep or base coat or top coat I use. Plus my nails always want to peel and break off. They are thin, so the strips are helping them not to peel,
Such a nice video! I work at Ulta and people keep buying these so I needed to know if they're really good! I'm going to try some, I have thick curly hair so I don't do my nails a lot since doing my hair chips the polish, or bends (sometimes breaks) my acrylics! I'll come back and let you other curly girls if these last with our hair!
I just bought the same set you use on this video today at TJ MAX for $4.99 Thank for this tutorial on these nail strips. This will be my first time trying these out. Hopefully they look as cute as yours did 🤞🏻😉 Also, Love your hair too! Looks So So cute 🥰
Ok, so no joke, I had just finished looking on this website & was pretty sure I wanted to order, but not 100% ~ UNTIL.... I saw your video on my subscription notification!!!!!😃 As soon as I finish this I'm ordering! I'm anxious to try them with working in the hair salon & having my hands in water a lot. Also with the hair coloring & perm solution. I normally can't keep polish on more than a couple of days unless I do a professional shellac. That's too damaging & expensive 😛 Anyway, I'll let you know how it works for me! Today's Sunday song was such a blessing! Dylan played along on his knees since I had you cast on the TV😂 Thanks Sharalee!!! God bless!!! Xx❤️
Oh my goodness, how crazy is that!! Well, I truly hope these work well for you too! I didn’t realize you work in a salon. You’ll have to keep me posted, let me know how they work for you😘 How cute that Dylan played a duet with me on Sunday! Love it😍 God bless you too, sweet lady!
I have an issue with the edge not being as smooth as I would like it but maybe that’s because the file in my pack only had the white side? Some people had said they tried “melting” the edges with alcohol wipes and I tried it and I think it helped some but it’s still a bit rough. I think they may smooth out on their own (like acrylics) with time but if not I’m going to have to find a finer grit file…
I just put my first set on and it wasn't much fun. I'm having doubts mine will last as long as others say theirs are lasting. One of mine was trying to pull up at the tip as I was trying to get the next one off the plastic backer. Next time I'll do as someone else suggested and leave my thumbs for last so I can use my thumb to unstick the nail stickers off the backing to apply. My main issue was how difficult they were to trim down. Nail clippers wouldn't cut them because these stickers are soft, and even my cuticle cutters wouldn't cut them. I finally used a pair of scissors, to get them semi close then filed the rest which also wasn't easy. I'm not totally sold on these yet.
Thank you for this video tutorial on Dashing Diva Gloss Gel Strips. I am unable to get SNS or Salon Gel manicures because the amount of time it takes to soak my fingers in acetone to remove those manicures causes my skin to break out in painful blisters for days afterwards. The Dashing Diva product is the perfect option for me.
You are most welcome!! I've heard from many others that have similar issues with gel manicures and they have found these strips to be a great solution too. Hope you enjoy them!😘
@@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates Also I think it would be a good stuff to fix cracked natural nail. Just buff a little, add glue, buff, clean it and apply one strip and one coat of top for soak off gel. And nail will be good again and plus with "decor". :) I would definitely buy a set for "emergency" for home and traveling.
I'm watching theses videos because I'm new to these nails strips but I already like them more than painting my own because you can add different designs and mix match. I'm glad I tried these for some reason I thought they were hard to apply but they're not 🥰
Yours look so pretty. I tried to do this last night and they look fine from a distance but up close it was hard to make the edges look nice and smooth. I’ll keep practicing at this. I love manicure hands but nail polish doesn’t last long and going to salon is not an option.
Thank you for the helpful video. Do you also do videos on makeup application? You looked gorgeous! I would love to know how you applied your eye makeup.
I love these, finally decided to watch a video on how to apply. I had been filing side to side not up & down (or more down & down) I think I'll get better results at the tip, some of my nails did look ripped at the edge
Thank you for this instructional video! And you are so beautiful! That lip color is gorgeous on you. I see you mentioned you're wearing an urban decay lip liner..I was wondering, did you use the lip liner all over and then use the gloss or just lined the lips? Thanks in advance 🤗
You are so sweet, thank you!💞 I pretty much kept the liner to the outer part of the lip. However, if I'm just doing a gloss and not lipstick, I will bring the liner in just slightly from the edge so there's not a distinct line...hope that makes sense!😘
Wow, what a difference in price, $14 a set here, I might just have to check out their website. I'm wearing my first set and they have been on 5 days now, so far so good!
Definitely check out their website! One subscriber said they usually offer a 15% discount on your first order.....might be worth stocking up if your first set continues to wear well!😘💕
Oh that is so kind of you!😍 I've heard great things about Color Street but never tried them. You can send me an email to discuss further: sharaleesboxofchocolates@gmail.com
Very helpful review, thanks! Just bought two pair, including the one you tried on this video, at five below. Can't wait to try! 🤗 Have a great week everyone! 🌺
Awesome video, just did my first set. They could have been applied a little better but I think it’s just practice. I’m a piano player too, I like to keep my nails looking nice but short. Hopefully these work well
I’ve been using then since January. I like them, so far each set I’ve done lasts me a more than 2 weeks. I cut the excess with nail clippers and save the end to do my toes.

Thank you for the tip ! I always only use on my toes because I don’t like them snagging my hair ! Top coat may help that

How do you get tips at the edge of the nail from peeling upwards?
@@stardustgirl2904 I had some that were called gel nails and high gloss, in this brand and they stayed on for 4 weeks!

I was so excited about getting them but I wanted to make sure I was applying them on right and your video made it so easy for me to follow thanks again 😁🙋🏾♀️
This video is going to assist me with learning how to apply them. Very helpful! I too just purchased one package at Ulta, and Ulta sells the pre pads too.
I have a few packs of these waiting to be applied, but wanted to make sure I was doing it right so of course I came to TH-cam! Very helpful. Looking forward to trying these.
Oh yay! I’m so happy my video came to your rescue! I’m the same way.....TH-cam is usually my first source I go to when I need to learn how to do something😘 Hope you enjoy your new nails!
I am in awe of your haircut! It’s just so cute! I have had my hair that short before but it just wasn’t that cute!
Awww, you are too sweet🥰 Thank you!
It's always best to start from the pinky. This way if you need your thumb, you can have it available. Also, once you put the strips on, use the rubber cuticle pusher to really press the edges down on all sides. Finally, for longevity, you can use a gel polish on top to seal the free edge and to give extra shine to the strip. Make sure the gel doesn't need to be cured under the UV light unless you are using semi cured strips.
I bought these and we didn’t know if it was a good brand but now listening to you they sound good and tonight I’m gonna try them. Thank you this video helped
So glad this was helpful!! Hope these strips work really well for you too!😊
I also play and need short nails, this is a game changer! With gel, short nails are very difficult to make pretty... been trying for years. thanks!
Your video woke me up to these nail strips. They look great on your hands!!! I bought some and tried them and loved them. Your video was very enlightening helpful and informative. I usually use the impress nails but I like these as well if not better because they last soooo long and I can do a lot with them on. I put several topcoats and they are perfection. The impress nails are great but they can pop off. These nail strips are a great addition to my diy salon nail collection.
Yay!! So happy to hear that you have fallen in love with these nail strips too! They are so fun and I love that there are constantly new designs released🥰
I ended up finding these at Five below, and everytime I return I buy every different set they have for that time lol. For sure you can mix and match and be more creative with these. I like all the glitter ones, so gorgeous.
Oh I didn’t even think to look for them there! Thanks for the tip!😊
These are my obsession
Great video! The tip about filing down instead of side-to-side works so well--so glad to have found this tutorial/review :)
Yay!! So glad it was helpful!🤗
Yes, filing down kinda seals them better
I am going to try filing down. I filed my first set horizontally and it showed a little bit of the white of my nail.
I bought these a few weeks ago and decided to put these on today, so this video is great timing. Any tips for avoiding creasing and bubbles at the tip when you’re ready to fold them over?
Oh I'm so glad this came at just the right time! Be sure to smooth up from the cuticle to the end of the nail. Then as you fold the end over your nail, pull it tight and press it along the edge of the nail before filing😊
I absolutely love these!..on my 4th set now, and I finally have the knack of using them..also... I do use a base and top coat...also..I do my thumbs last, so I can use them to help get the other strip on other nails
Do u use gel base and top coat or regular?
Thank you for this delightful tutorial with your tips and observations! I just bought my first set, and after watching your video, I feel much more confident about what to do. I love the slight randomness of your design. Inspires me to try something new. The video was as soothing and pleasant to watch as it was informative. (Weird, but true. I felt serene watching and listening to your video.) I’m new to your channel, so maybe you already do this, but if not, maybe consider recording ASMR as part of your channel. I think folks would enjoy it! Ciao and grazie!
Thank you for this instructional video. New subscriber. I appreciate how you didn't waste time.
So far and I seen quite a lot, your tutorial is the best explained and the best application I have seen. I loke your method. Thank u a lot.💅🏽🤗🦋
Wonderful!! So glad you found it helpful!🥰
SOLD! I want to do my nails really nice for the holidays and I know my regular polish will not last the full week I am away, so I am going to try these! I have been looking at press on's too, but your review here has made my decision.. Thank you!
Oh, one question.. Can you still put on hand lotion with these on? I am concerned it will disturb the seal of the polish..
I noticed that the more I wore them, the easier it was for them to keep sticking. Also, sometimes I've just pressed them right back down if they were coming up... and they stayed. I agree, super cute and easy!
anytime I have one of the strips lift up on the tips, I pull it back a bit and put clear nail polish on my nail and hold the strip back down. I have had a set of these on my nails for a month. the shear-ness of some of the colors blends right in with the nail growth at the base of my nails.
Oh that's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!!😊
useful video - thanks! i just tried a set of these - any tips on avoiding wrinkles at the top of the nail?
Take your time, pressing the strip up from the bottom and then slightly stretch and press it over the tip of the nail. Usually that helps😘
Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos. I wish I came across this earlier…. I bought a set of power dip nail thingy….
Thanks for the tips just applied my nails for the first time. Very easy no light at all just peel and stick :)
I just bought these and came across your video yay 😊
Thank you for this video! I was so upset about the missing strip until you showed where it was! LOL!
I’ve been doing gel nails for a long time but it was fun watching you apply the clever nail strips a quick and easy way to be creative. Enjoyed another Sunday solo. Looking forward to your next selection. 💖
Gel nails are wonderful! So happy you continue to enjoy my Sunday's Songs♥️🥰
I love this idea! I wonder if it can cause long term thinning of nails like dip polish or gel manicures? One “blessing” of COVID , if that’s even a good term, is that my thin nails have grown back healthy from not getting regular dip manicures.
There ya go....seeing the blessing amidst our great trial...love it😘 I think as long as you are careful with the removal, they shouldn't cause damage like the dip polish and gel. Since you aren't filing the top of your nail each time, I think that also helps.
I switched to these during quarantine and I don't think I'll go back to traditional manicures unless I have a fancy occasion. There has been ZERO harm to my nails and the stickers provide enough protection somehow that my nails got longer than I could ever grow them on my own. For me, these things have offered all the good aspects of gel nails - stays shiny, no chipping, 14 day wear, stronger but none of nail damage or cost. I'm not a paid spokesperson but I should be because I've become a total disciple about these things!!
I’m actually going to try these to give my nails a break. I was doing polish and got tired of all the time it took so did dip at home.. Quickly found it thinned my nails almost as much as when I did acrylics years ago. So I’m going to cut my nails very short and try this to give them a break.
Even though I have short natural nails live watching your videos. You always look so pretty, perfect
You’re such a trooper and a true, faithful fan!💖 Always appreciate you, sweet lady!
It looks GREAT! Thanks for the helpful tutorial. I have just become a fan of these this weekend. I had a STEEP learning curve, LOL, so I wasted a LOT of strips tryin to figure out the sizing AND getting the application down. My finished manicure looks great though, so now I just need to see how long they last.
@Samantha Morris I couldn’t get them to stop lifting up at the tips of my fingernails. I ended taking them off after a couple of days.
Love the nails but I NEED your lip color! It’s gorgeous! 🥰
What eyeshadow and lipstick are you wearing? So pretty!
Thank you for the video!!!!❤
They’re also at Sally Beauty! We carry a bunch of different styles and right now we have Halloween special edition gel strips and they’re super cuuute!
That is so great to know that!! I will have to visit our local Sally's and see some of the new designs. Thanks for sharing!😘
I love and frequently use Color street nail strips but I may need to try these. I've seen them at Sally's. Although not really needed, I find my Color Street nails last a little bit longer when I apply a good quality top coat to them. That may also help with these....especially for those of us who are rough with our hands.
I too use color street, it seems these are about half the price?
Yes, I think you'd really enjoy these, especially since they are a LOT cheaper than Color Street! Several others told me they have used a top coat with these. I tried it and it did seem to smooth the surface and seal the edges a bit better😊
Mine stick for 3 or 4 weeks. I just have to take them off for new growth. While my nails are short, I just cut them in half so I can use one for two nails. I think these Dashing Diva nail strips are easier to put on than the Color street ones. I am not sure how long the Colorstreet ones last as I just put some on that I got as a gift for Christmas. I rough up my nail just a tad with a nail file before putting the strips on. It helps make sure the oils are removed from my nails. I have worn glue on nails for many years. I was starting to have issues with the green on my nails so these are great to give them a break from the glue ons. I can never keep regular polish on for more than a couple of days no matter what kind of prep or base coat or top coat I use. Plus my nails always want to peel and break off. They are thin, so the strips are helping them not to peel,
Very informative! Just started using nail strips and I ordered two sets of these before i saw your video but am glad I did!
Wonderful!! Hope these tips will help your application go smoothly😘
This video was soooo helpful! I can't wait to apply my gel strips! Thank you!
Yay!! You are welcome😇
Love your concise and clear explanation!
I just ordered 2 sets to try. Great price. Awesome selection!!!!!!!
Wahoo!! I hope you love your new manicures!😘
I just bought these nail sets at Sally Beauty and just saw your video,thank you for the tips,can’t wait to try these!
Yay!! Hope you love them too!😘
Just bought these exact "Rose Sparkle" at CVS today!
Yay!! Hope you enjoy them😘
Such a nice video! I work at Ulta and people keep buying these so I needed to know if they're really good! I'm going to try some, I have thick curly hair so I don't do my nails a lot since doing my hair chips the polish, or bends (sometimes breaks) my acrylics! I'll come back and let you other curly girls if these last with our hair!
Oh I'm so glad you found this helpful and are convinced to give these a try! I'd definitely love to hear how these work for you😘
her make up is just gorgeous
Thanks for this great instruction. I bought a set and can’t wait to use them.
I just bought the same set you use on this video today at TJ MAX for $4.99 Thank for this tutorial on these nail strips. This will be my first time trying these out. Hopefully they look as cute as yours did 🤞🏻😉 Also, Love your hair too! Looks So So cute 🥰
Such a great deal!! Hope they work well for you too! And thanks for your sweet compliments♥️🥰
Thank you!! You explained it better than their website and instructions do!
You're welcome! So happy this was helpful😊
They are so pretty and really easy, I love it.
Yay!💕🤗
Love your hair and makeup
Ok, so no joke, I had just finished looking on this website & was pretty sure I wanted to order, but not 100% ~ UNTIL.... I saw your video on my subscription notification!!!!!😃 As soon as I finish this I'm ordering! I'm anxious to try them with working in the hair salon & having my hands in water a lot. Also with the hair coloring & perm solution. I normally can't keep polish on more than a couple of days unless I do a professional shellac. That's too damaging & expensive 😛 Anyway, I'll let you know how it works for me! Today's Sunday song was such a blessing! Dylan played along on his knees since I had you cast on the TV😂 Thanks Sharalee!!! God bless!!! Xx❤️
Oh my goodness, how crazy is that!! Well, I truly hope these work well for you too! I didn’t realize you work in a salon. You’ll have to keep me posted, let me know how they work for you😘 How cute that Dylan played a duet with me on Sunday! Love it😍 God bless you too, sweet lady!
Gorgeous!!! Thank you for the tutorial. I was lost
This video was so helpful. I love how your nails turned out!
I'm so glad!💗
I want your haircolor!! You are adorable. I am trying these nails, they look amazing too!
Aww, thank you🥰 Hope you love the nail strips!
I have an issue with the edge not being as smooth as I would like it but maybe that’s because the file in my pack only had the white side? Some people had said they tried “melting” the edges with alcohol wipes and I tried it and I think it helped some but it’s still a bit rough. I think they may smooth out on their own (like acrylics) with time but if not I’m going to have to find a finer grit file…
I just put my first set on and it wasn't much fun. I'm having doubts mine will last as long as others say theirs are lasting. One of mine was trying to pull up at the tip as I was trying to get the next one off the plastic backer. Next time I'll do as someone else suggested and leave my thumbs for last so I can use my thumb to unstick the nail stickers off the backing to apply. My main issue was how difficult they were to trim down. Nail clippers wouldn't cut them because these stickers are soft, and even my cuticle cutters wouldn't cut them. I finally used a pair of scissors, to get them semi close then filed the rest which also wasn't easy. I'm not totally sold on these yet.
Same, was sureeee I was going to love them but I can't get them to stay even 1 hr without peeling😢😢😢😢
I been using this for a while now but I love it, I think this is the best nails I have seen, thank you for your demostración 👋🌹
Thank you for this video tutorial on Dashing Diva Gloss Gel Strips. I am unable to get SNS or Salon Gel manicures because the amount of time it takes to soak my fingers in acetone to remove those manicures causes my skin to break out in painful blisters for days afterwards. The Dashing Diva product is the perfect option for me.
You are most welcome!! I've heard from many others that have similar issues with gel manicures and they have found these strips to be a great solution too. Hope you enjoy them!😘
I appreciate you telling us the order of your video at the beginning
Not sure if I like your nails or eyeshadow more they are both pretty
Awww, thank you!!😘
Very Happy I found your channel and you are an absolutely beautiful lady
I just ordered two sets from the website. I can’t wait to try them! Thank you for showing how to apply them! Have a great weekend!
Wahoo!! Have fun!💅🏻😘
So interesting! Thanks for video. I just wondering.... If it would be a good idea add a clear top coat...The same for Soak Off Gel polish.... :)
Glad you found this helpful! Yes, I've heard from several that have put a clear top coat over these and had great success😊
@@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates Also I think it would be a good stuff to fix cracked natural nail. Just buff a little, add glue, buff, clean it and apply one strip and one coat of top for soak off gel. And nail will be good again and plus with "decor". :) I would definitely buy a set for "emergency" for home and traveling.
I'm watching theses videos because I'm new to these nails strips but I already like them more than painting my own because you can add different designs and mix match. I'm glad I tried these for some reason I thought they were hard to apply but they're not 🥰
Yay!! So happy you are loving these too!
Yours look so pretty. I tried to do this last night and they look fine from a distance but up close it was hard to make the edges look nice and smooth. I’ll keep practicing at this. I love manicure hands but nail polish doesn’t last long and going to salon is not an option.
I'm sure with a little more practice yours will look fabulous!💕
thank you for this review just picked up some at Walmart. Love them :)
Thank you for the helpful video. Do you also do videos on makeup application? You looked gorgeous! I would love to know how you applied your eye makeup.
So glad this was helpful! Yes, I have a lot of makeup tutorials on my channel so I hope you'll check them out💕
I love these, finally decided to watch a video on how to apply. I had been filing side to side not up & down (or more down & down) I think I'll get better results at the tip, some of my nails did look ripped at the edge
Thank you for this instructional video! And you are so beautiful! That lip color is gorgeous on you. I see you mentioned you're wearing an urban decay lip liner..I was wondering, did you use the lip liner all over and then use the gloss or just lined the lips? Thanks in advance 🤗
You are so sweet, thank you!💞 I pretty much kept the liner to the outer part of the lip. However, if I'm just doing a gloss and not lipstick, I will bring the liner in just slightly from the edge so there's not a distinct line...hope that makes sense!😘
I just got some from Burlington, and Marshalls! I'm here to learn how to put them on a coworker told me about them.
Oh that's awesome!! Hope they work well for you you too!💕
I purchased them last night and did a nail prior to bed. It looks great . They were at Marshall’’s for 4.99
Wow, what a difference in price, $14 a set here, I might just have to check out their website. I'm wearing my first set and they have been on 5 days now, so far so good!
Definitely check out their website! One subscriber said they usually offer a 15% discount on your first order.....might be worth stocking up if your first set continues to wear well!😘💕
I would love to send you some Color Street! 100% dry nail polish, made in the USA!
Oh that is so kind of you!😍 I've heard great things about Color Street but never tried them. You can send me an email to discuss further: sharaleesboxofchocolates@gmail.com
Great video and so helpful! Your eye makeup is fabulous!!
Very helpful review, thanks! Just bought two pair, including the one you tried on this video, at five below. Can't wait to try! 🤗
Have a great week everyone! 🌺
Wahoo!! Hope you enjoy trying these out!💗
Awesome video, just did my first set. They could have been applied a little better but I think it’s just practice. I’m a piano player too, I like to keep my nails looking nice but short. Hopefully these work well
