Glaize - stick on nails

Are they any good ? Why can’t I just order one set. Why does it make me order at least two. What if they don’t fit ? My nails are awful. Always breaking ! 😏

They didn’t work for me, I paid extra for made to measure sets but they just looked rubbish and still didn’t fit properly.

Best thing I did for my nails was to use CND rescueRxx daily keratin treatment. It took about 4 weeks but my nails were weak and crumbling, and now they are strong and healthy. Regular manicures help too.

They didn't work for me either, even with the made to measure. They came off after two days. I now use semi cured gel wraps and they are much more durable.

I will give that a try - is it just a clear varnish ? Does it need a lamp ?

It’s like a cuticle oil, you just rub it in to the nail and nail bed, I applied it a few times a day at first as my nails were so awful, now I try and remember to use it once a day.

I tried the toe Glaize sets. They don't look as smooth and glossy as well painted nails/gels because they are thin so they show all the ridges in your nails. Also I find it hard to get the nail edges smooth, they don't look as good as painted nails where you would wrap the tips.

But they go on fairly quickly, the edge near the cuticle is far neater than a home paint job and they don't smudge like a paint job so once they are on they are done.

Pros and cons! I do use them periodically when I need a quick smarten up.

I have bought it - but you brush it on like a varnish. Do you think I got the wrong one. Do you have a photo of your bottle ? (Mine is tiny just to try it out before I get full size as it’s around £26)

@thearchers … thank you so much for the tip. The CND rescue is making such a difference to my nails. They have stopped breaking. Still very short but they look so much better and are growing without splitting all the time. ❤️

@Kernowmaidporthsorry just seen this, that’s great! So pleased it is working for you. They should continue to grow strong and healthy now!

I really liked them-easy to use and lasted well. I liked them because they looked like painted nails rather than acrylics
