Dashing Diva Pink Champagne Glaze Semi-Cured Gel Art

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Been using this brand for about 5-6 months. They can last me about a 1.5weeks but I chose to do them weekly. Absolutely love and recommend them. After a couple applications you get really quick and better about picking right size.

These are awesome! My new go-to

I have tried seemingly every mail strip known to man (or woman), and my favorites have been Incoco/ColorStreet (no, I don't sell it) and Dashing Diva Gloss with CS having an edge over DD. If I paint my nails, I use gel polish (either LED polish or Essie non-LED gel polish), so these Glaze strips seemed to be the best of both worlds.

Y'all, these gel strips are the best thing since sliced bread! My only complaint— and it is a minor one— is that they provide a variety of designs in the box, but your pinky and thumb are likely limited to one design, maybe two. Obviously this is not an issue if you buy a set with one style only.

Otherwise, they look great and are hard as rocks, once they're cured. I only did one cycle with the light. I've had zero bending (like I get with the CS and DD Gloss strips), no wear at the tips, nothing. The only thing that shows is growth. This particular set is light colors, and the glitter has a clear base, so growth is hard to see with these as opposed to a bolder color.

Pictured is my mani after nearly four days, and it looks just as good as the first day. (I know it looks weird— I'm holding the back of a small brush.) My friends know I change up my nails quite a bit, and they thought this particular set was very pretty and subtle.

A couple of tips, besides making sure your cuticles are cleaned up and pushed back:

1. Use a metal "spoon" nail tool to press the strips to your nail before curing, especially around the edges, tip, and cuticle. These are available all over.

2. Use curved cuticle scissors to cut the tips as close as you can to your natural nail tip before curing. I used a nail clipper at first and changed to curved cuticle scissors after the first couple of nails. Also, once they're cured, they are very hard and difficult to file, so the closer you can get to your natural nail tip, the better.

Some of the colors adhere great, others not so great.

The glitter decals adhere great, the pink curl up around the edges. They also are either too large or way too small for my nails. I ended up cutting down a couple of large ones, but that's difficult to do. I had to cure them much longer than the 45 seconds. I may try them again, but they're not easier than painting my nails.

These are AWESOME!

I love these! I've tried many brands of mail strips (including the expensive Color Street ones). These are the first gel nail strips I've tried. These are the best, hands down. I put them on the evening of 11/27 before a business trip. It's now 12/13 and they're still on, and my nails are actually growing out with them on! I can't believe it!! I'm buying more. The only ones that came off were the pinky ones….but even with one of those, I picked it off myself, otherwise it would probably still be on.

Beautiful, shiny and lasts!

These are my new favorite thing! I love Dashing Diva's nail stickers also, but these are harder and actually look like I went to the salon. I would like to know if I can use the Red base coat under them to protect the nails.

Excellent!

I love these nails! I've tried other semi cured and did not have luck with them. These are thinner than the other brand I tried, and after using a silicone cuticle pusher to smooth down the edges, I have had no trouble with the edges pulling up or catching. I've had them on for a week, done sink loads of dishes, and been in the lake for three days and they still look fantastic. A top coat could be applied to help with the edges, but I've not needed to do so with these.

Love design and wear

The design is elegant with flattering colors. The glaze collections give me the effect of the nail salon, last until removal of 2 weeks, helps my nails grow strong, with the ease of removal! I did but a gel uv top coat to top it off.

It works like it's supposed to.

I wish I can post a picture of my nails. These looks nice. I've had them on my nails now for about 7 days. These didn't fit both my pinky nails so I had to trim the smallest ones on the side to fit my pinky. One of the nails already start to crack but it still looks fine. I have tried a few semi cured nails and I've learned the hard way they need to be cure at least 3x.

Love these!

These strips are great. They cure harder and thicker than the regular strips which I like. Easier to file too. They also don't need a top coat
