Seeing all the adds for stick on gel nails. Are they any good?

My social media field is full of those new gel stick on nails. Companies like mo-you etc. has anyone tried these? What brand and did they work?

Following as also wondered the same. Don’t actually expect them to be that good but perhaps someone has given them a go?

I use the ones from holy grail nails, not keen on the cheaper just stick on ones but they have semi cured ones which go under a little light box when on and they are fantastic. Generally only need to come off when my nails have grown too much.

Yes, I use them. They're very easy to apply, last a couple of weeks usually (never got to the three weeks they claim they'll last!) and they come off easily without damaging your nail. I'm not at all dextrous, but I get a good looking set of nails in about 10 minutes.

Should have said, these are the semi-cured ones requiring setting under a lamp, not just the stick on ones.

Interested in this too! Also the powder dip ones, they look too good to be true!

I'm interested in the powder dip ones too, but they look like they require a modicum of dexterity!

Which brand do you use?

Powder dip is definitely one that requires practice. I tried a few times before selling my kit on. Not as easy as they're made to look.

Which brand do you use?

I've used Moyou and Holy Grail. No discernible difference between the two, I think they're the exact same product.

I’ve ordered moyou ones with a free led lamp so I will report back when they arrive

@EightToSixer do let us know

I've just spent £45 on a gel manicure. It's lovely but I'm honestly not sure I can justify the expense
