Semi-Cured Gel Strips: What They Are and Why People Like Them

Semi-cured gel nail strips are pre-made gel stickers that come ready to use. They are partly cured and you finish them with a UV or LED lamp.

To use them, clean nails, choose the right strip, press it on, trim the excess and cure under a lamp. The strips can last up to two weeks and give a shiny, salon-like finish. Many brands sell many designs, and some people keep sheets as part of a personal collection. You can buy them online and in stores. They cost less than a salon. They are a fast way to change your nails at home.
