I’m a fairly patient person. However, when it comes to waiting for my nails to dry after a nice manicure, all my patience goes out the window! As a working mom of two, I always feel like I’m wasting so much time sitting in a salon literally watching paint dry. Sure, some might make a mad dash after the first or second UV fan cycle stops, but not me. Since I always manage to smudge or chip my fresh manicure before stepping foot outside, I wait at least 30-40 minutes before leaving to ensure my polish stays perfectly in place. But not anymore.
Enter Dashing Diva’s Ultra-Shine Gel Strips.
Dashing Diva Gloss Gel Nail Strips are available here, $8 and up
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a press preview of the popular nail brand’s newest offerings and was blown away with these gel strips. Available in a wide range of shades, prints and fun decals, these polish alternatives are a game-changer for me. Thanks to the easy, mess-free application, I can get a pretty manicure without the painstaking wait. Plus, I can say good-bye to those pesky smudges that always find a way to ruin my mani. Oh and the best part of all is that these gel color, high-shine and wrinkle-free strips last up to 14 days! I’m going on three weeks of wear and they’re still looking good. I love them so much that I haven’t taken them off yet, which will be as easy as 1-2-3. To remove, all I’ll have to do is simply apply cuticle oil or coconut oil to my cuticles, lift and peel – leaving my nails damage-free! Seriously, can these strips get any better?
If you’re like me and get impatient at the nail salon and freak out at the thought of messing up your mani, these gel strips might be your answer. Get a beautiful manicure minus the hassle.
