Stick on gel nails

I'm trying to achieve a more polished look - I usually just wear a clear nail strengthening polish on my nails. I like the look of gels but not the cost and time commitment involved with a salon.

Has anyone tried the newish stick on gels such as Glaize or Mo you. All the slick and shiny marketing on Insta makes it look easy and perfect. But I'd love to hear how others have found them before I place an order! Trying to update my look on a budget.

Moyou nails are great! Last well, good choice, help your nails to grow, easy to remove. I get compliments on them! It's a little fiddly to cut each one to size but apart from that, quickly and easy. Pop them on and under the lamp. They aren't cheap but you get extras in a pack to eke them out.

HTH!

Moyou are great, I actually sometimes just buy a neutral colour and after a couple of days I buff them and apply a different gel polish on top. They last at least 2 weeks, and so much easier to remove than a traditional gel.

Here's some I've done for holiday...

Ive used Holy Grail Nail - I found some of the stickers ok quality but some were a bit thin and papery. I generally cut, fit and file them and then add a clear top coat and get around 10 days out of them. I've not tried Glaize but the ads do make them look good!

I find I don't like the feel of gel on my nails, does anyone find stickers similar in this respect? I don't find this if I wear normal nail polish

I tried the Glaize ones for my holiday to Tenerife. They looked good to start with but slid around in the heat. Lasted ages on my toes though!
