Dashing Diva Gloss Gel Strips have been my go-to DIY manicure option for a while—especially during the quarantine when nail salons are/were closed. These gel strips are super-easy-to-apply stickers (not fake nails, though I love those too) that come in a range of designs and colors.
My go-to is the Plus Sorbet version that are light pink with the metallic gold base, but they range in design from subtle to bold. Each pack also contains accent nails to liven up the look.
The Gloss Gel Strips are essentially long adhesive stickers that you place directly onto your nails. My tip when applying them is to take a nail scissor and cut the stickers as close to your nail as possible and then file them down to your actual nail.
These babies are no-chip and will last for well over a week (sometimes two!). Once you’re done with them, usually due to nail growth, they easily peel off without any damage.
