H*ly gel nail wraps

I'm being peppered by ads. Are they any good? I used to use jam berry but they were fiddly and none of the sizes fit me. Had to cut and it got messy. Does the uv add any better durability?
I'm tempted but would like real experience please !

I use Lily and fox (Australian site not US). No heating required unlike jamberry. They’re about £2 a strip and because I have small nails I can generally get 3 or 4 manicures out of one strip.

I apply a base layer of clear polish, whack the wrap on, file off the end and then seal with clear top coat.lasts at least a week.

Do you need to put the clear polish for them to stick on or is that just something to do so they aren't on the bare nail?

Anyone else used the holy ones?

I’ve just finished doing mine about half an hour ago! I use Holy Grail wraps. I don’t put anything on my nails before applying them as I find them to be sticky enough but I do put a layer or two on top. I can easily get a week or more out of them. I have a referral code if you’d like one

Oh yes please. Do you have to cure those ones?

I used them before and thought they looked okay, when I stopped using them my husband admitted they very much looked like stickers. I thought I’d done a good job as seem some bad applications, got about 1 week out of them. Worth a try but the ends give it away.

No curing needed with the wraps. I will PM you the code now 🙂

Just helps protect my bare nails when I remove the wraps
