My Personal Review:

Applying Heyhae gel nail strips were so easy. The material felt thick and gel-like, and you can easily stretch the strips to fit your nail shape if needed. Although curing is required under the sun, the curing process only took 5 minutes for the strip to harden. After 1 hour of wear, I tested to see if I could peel off the nail strip with my fingers, and it did not budge. I needed to use a wooden stick to really pry off the strip from my nails (the Got-To-Go Remover is recommended for the easiest, damage-free removal!). I love how pretty the design is, and how it felt like a real gel manicure.

EdgeU Semi-Cured Gel Nail Strips

Pricing: $9.50 - $11.50

What’s inside:

• 1 Sheet with 16 Gel Nail Strips + 1 nail file + 1 prep pad + 1 wooden stick

How to cure: No LED lamp required

Edgeu semi-cured gel nail strips come 90% cured, so no LED lamp is needed. Just apply the strips and you are ready to go.

Durability

These strips might not last as long as Heyhae's sun-cured nails. For instance, some have reported their nails breaking or chipping after a few days of wear. From my experience wearing EdgeU strips, I could create indents with my finger nails by simply pressing into the sticker.

Hair Snagging

Some users have reported that these nail wraps have a hard time staying flush to the cuticle and sides, even after pressing to the nail with a wooden stick and fingers multiple times. This can result in more hair snagging in your everyday life.

Designs

EdgeU offers 62 fun designs in their semi-cured gel strip collection!

My Personal Review:

Upon first impression, I love how pretty the design is! But, when I applied these strips, they felt more thin and flimsy than Heyhae gel nail strips. The material is less of a gelly, thick texture and has little stretch. While it says an LED lamp is not needed, these strips felt like they needed to be cured under a UV light to get a hard, sturdy finish to prevent peeling. After 1 hour of wear, I tested to see if I could peel off the nail strip, and it easily peeled off with just my fingers. I would only recommend these strips if you want to wear a set for only 1-2 days and remove them easily

Conclusion

While both Heyhae and EdgeU offer quality gel nail strips, Heyhae Sun-Cured Gel Nails stand out for their ease of use, superior durability, snag free finish, and super cute designs. If you’re looking for a reliable, long-lasting gel nail look, Heyhae is sure to win you over!
