Stick on gel nails

I've seen loads of ads for these, I'm weaning myself off BIAB and my nails are now thin and chipped due to the constant electric filing from infills. Wish I'd never started with it.

The stick on ones look like a good alternative while my nails get stronger, anyone tried them and have a UK recommendation?

Yes I swear by them. I frequently use regular off the shed ones from Sainsbury’s and get lots of compliments. Kiss gel fantasy are my current favourites, however you can get bespoke ones on Etsy or instagram id that’s what you like. It all comes down to your mail prep

I've just started using semi cured gel nail strips from Moyou London. I've only used one set so far and they lasted 3 weeks without any chipping or problems. My nails seem OK after removal and they were pretty straight forward to apply/remove. Just giving my nails a couple of days break before applying the next set!

Thank you! Do they all come with nail prep instructions, and do any of them they need a uV machine?

The ones I use have instructions and the website has tutorial videos. They do need a lamp to fully cure the nails but they have an offer on where if you buy so many sets of nails you get a free lamp.

I LOVE the kiss acrylic false nails. Thicker than your usual glue on nails so they feel sturdier and you can paint them yourself if you wanted to.
