- ⚠️ 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
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.
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.
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
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!
Your real nails are so pretty ❤
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.
⚠️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
I think u should try the gel strips but don’t cut your whole nail just trim it because your real nail is beautiful ❤
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.
Your nails are...
Gorgeous 😍😍
DOOOOO ITTTTTT❤❤❤ OMG, THEY WILL LOOK SO CUTEEEEEE❤❤
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.
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 🤷♀️
Gurl! don't cut them, they are beautiful 💅✨✨
Pleaseee keep ur nails long they’re so pretty
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! 🥹💅🏻✨
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 🫶🏼
No girl your nails are stunning
Yesss! Please try the gel strips!! ❤❤❤
So appreciate the links AND when notes like this with the link info is added. I always want to support the creator buying from their links so I hope my purchase would still do that if I screen shot and buy through the link that shows up on my photo rolls.
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!
Please do it! I have been wondering if they are worth getting for so long!
Literally my favourite CZcamsr, I got into nail art after seeing you do AMAZING designs - I would like to see those nail strips because they are very controversial! 😁
i would actually love if you made that video, ive been thinking about getting those but idk
Do an ombre look. Add the strips towards the end and fill in a different colour from the cuticle line 🙃🥰
Do ittttt ahhhh it’s gonna be so pretty❤️ love your work
i love your vids girl 😊
I wouldn't bother with it, unless something else happens (like breaking a nail). Your nails are so pretty already!
They look SO natural im screaming
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.
Try file removal & leave a *thin* layer no matter what! Works amazing for myself & others whos nails I do. 🥰
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 ❤❤❤❤
some gel strips are longer you should try to find some that fit your nails better
I once had a new scraper that gouged all the way through the nail. Some of those are SHARP!!
You inspired me to finally do my own nails I hope to be as good as you one day ❤❤❤❤
You are literally so so pretty and when you do those videos where you cut all your nails of and grow them out with us telling us tips and tricks along the way has helped me grow my nails much longer and healthier so mabey if you cut your nails now once again it can help other grow their nails out and you can try out the gel nail stickers with the short nails
No don't your nails are so beautiful 😢😢😢
Those nails are so beautiful 😍
I love the korean gel nail stickers, im allergic to gel and acrylics and used those stickers for ever and the thing is they stretch! My nails were growing so long because those stickers protect them so well, but the stickers stretch A LOT! just have to be gentle. I hope someone whose hesitatant sees this comment and help them make decision 😊
Don’t cut them off! They are so pretty ❤😊
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😄🥳🫠
You should definitely trim them and put the nail tabs on them ❤
I did try them 🤭
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 should really do it! I just did mine with those and they worked perfectly!!
Wowww i wish i had these many likes and big nails as u BTW U DESERVE 100 MILION SUBSS u goo girllll and its ok we all make mistakes ❤
Girl your nails are a work of art I could never
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
I always chew on my nails i cant help it i think its anxiety but i want to try to stop biting them, and these vids, always help me bc i rlly want long nails like yours!❤ty!
Paddie Nails are the way to go. They are spectacular ❤
omg thanks for trying it out i always wanted to try these but kept seeing mixed reviews, i will definitely use them but not as extensions!!
also i think it's so cool ive been following you for so long and just found out you live in the same area as me!! ive literally seen the murals you have done and thought they were so beautiful!
I agree improper removal of gel paint and acrylic paint destroy nails
Your real nails are beautiful ❤️😍
Please they are so good and they last soooo long
Her nails are beautiful
You can strech out the gel strips a bit before putting them on xx
your nails are so beatiful dont do it 😭
DO NOT CHOP PLS UR NAILS SLAY ❤❤
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
HOW'D U GET THAT GOOD NAILS 💅?!😭😭
If you heat up the gel strips then you can stretch them to fit
PLEASE BRING GRANNY ON THE PODCAST❤AND KEEP KENSIE
you have naturally beautiful nails!!! That's my wish for my own natural nails, but won't ever happen having psoriasis 😂
Girly do not chop off your nails you’ve worked hard to get here
OMG! PLS TRY THE GEL NAIL STICKERS!
Hey , don’t cute them gurl ! Maybe try on a fake hand or your feet ? Cause your nails looks so good !! (You could find longer ones aswell ?) btw please can you give us your secret to have that pink Base getting so long ???
I personally love your nail length ❤️
girl your nail beds are UNREALLLL as a nail tech student i wishhh
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.
Have you tried gel removers? It is so much easier than soaking off with acetone. It’s basically like paint stripper but for gel polish
Finally nails that don't look too perfect after removal. I always thought my nails are so bad after removal and i just stop doing my nails each time.
Your accent is adorable af
Please do it but please don’t go overboard❤❤
I have had separating of my nail plate from the skin under my nails from soaking with acetone a lot. That’s my preferred method because I don’t trust myself much with a drill but I guess I’ll have to learn because constantly soaking seems to be ruining my nails.
Honestly please keep ur nails. They are so pretty and would be a shame to chop off 🥺
Tbh I never have the patience to style my nails and care them. I do skincare, bodycare and haircare but never nail care. I just grab a nail polish that matches with my dress and that's it..I truly appreciate u 🙌,
No, I love your long hair, beautiful
Yes show us cutting ur long nails my nails don’t grow anymore so this is so appealing to me 😢😢😢😢😢😢
OMG, yes this happened to me too, literally I was like cutting my nails and biting them and then I just cut a chunk out I was freaking out. Oh my God I just break my nail. And then like a few days later it refiled when my nail grew
Do it girl you got this. Plus they'll just grow back real quick anyway
I wanna see the results of the gel strips !!! Just once and we won’t ever ask again 🧎🏻
I absolutely love your nails, they are gorgeous. Coming from someone that has been biting their nails their entire life and has been trying to stop and grow them I love your nail art and feel so inspired by how well you look after them xx ❤
You can tug on the strips a little to lengthen/widen them
And I can attest for the Ohora onyx strips that they DO harden really well. (The only other nail gel sticker I've tried didn't harden as good but it wasn't Ohora brand)
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 ❤😅
Girl those nails are beautiful ,don't chop them off😢
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.
Do it do it you got it girl!
You do what you want girl
Don’t chop them off!Your nails are so pretty,maybe try and out it without cutting your nails?
I used ohoro years ago before i started nail art myself. Ohora and zinipin stretch, so you can pull it to cover your nail..
Just get longer gel nail things! Your nails are too beautiful to cut off!
You should try the gel nail sets!!!!
Ive seen people use store bought nails as the base (place on tip) and then you use a gel or acrylic on the base to create and ombre with then :]
gel strips are usually meant to be stretched out gently until they fit your longer nails ((:
