UV free nail wraps? Are they a gimmick?

Has anyone tried these? Of course they look amazing on TikTok 😬

I wouldn’t be expecting them to last 2 weeks as they claim but even a week would be great!

I gave teen dc these for Xmas from boots. Really pretty design and easy to go on. Both DC pretty much lasted 2-3 days then started to loose them.

They probably were not being super careful just popped them on and carried on as normal, so if you are careful they may last a week maybe?

Mine arrived today so will report back!

They are not a patch on the UV ones

When I can be bothered (very rarely) I use lily and fox nail wraps. I can get them to last a week if I do them properly (clean nails, base coat, dry fully, top coat, dry fully) and refresh top coat mid week.

I use holy gels. They are brilliant and only last until I taken them off which us generally 2 weeks. Follow the instructions to apply....just realised you have non uv ones....

My lily and fox last a week to 10 days depending what I’m doing.

I’ve just bought a few sets from Glaize. They are just ok. They do look quite good, but after a few days were peeling off at the tip. To be fair, there are spares so I have replaced a couple of them. Definitely not a patch on proper gel nails but a good quick fix

Miss Sophie are the best I have tried. They last 7-10 days with a top coat over them.

Lily and Fox or Holy Grail Nail last a week to 10 days for me.

I like Glaize. Last a good week.

Unfortunately i find the UV wraps are the only ones with staying power. I also use Holy Gels and they're very good. Why no UV?

I use Holy Grail. You have to use the top coat from the same company, but absolute game changer.
My nails have been ruined from years of gels at home, yet these stick on last for ages, peel off easily and don't damage the nails.
