After a failed dipped powder gel nail situation, I was resigned to a fate of traditional if chippy manicures forever. Enter life-changing ManiMe, an awesome new company that uses images of your nails to make custom gel stickies that stay on for up to 10 days. Sounds amazing, but does it deliver?
YES. After a quick learning curve, the stickies were shockingly easy to apply. I am obsessed.
Watch the tutorials, and my best advice is not to clip your nails if you sent them pics of your hands with long nails—I made this mistake—there’s more excess that’s harder to file off. Also you file vertically and down only for best results. Luckily, they send 5 full extras, so you have a little wiggle room for mistakes.
Mine lasted a full week, 7 days, before one or two started to peel up. I pulled them off a day later, and it really is that easy: you just peel them off! Astounding. And the nails underneath are still strong and healthy (unlike with the horrible, horrible dip!)
In cooler patterns and designs—though they have solids too—than you’d ever get at a salon, the ManiMe stick on gels earned me many a compliment. I will definitely keep ordering and using these!
