Officially the longest my natural nails have ever been!

First set with “transitioning from summer to fall” vibes. Gonna keep my nails long at least until Halloween!👻

These are some amazon cheapies! I just love nude-blue ombré type nails, and these were especially cute with the clouds in them! I thought they might look good with a clear iridescent glittery topcoat, and tried Twilight Glitz from LitGels! It’s got greenish-fuschia clear glitter. It turned out super cute, and gives me summery fever daydream vibes. FYI I’m not sponsored, just a nail wrap addict trying a new brand.

Hi all, recently someone posted asking if anyone had tried Lit Gels before, and I got curious and decided to give them a try!

I ordered two sets, one called technicolor, and another called Lit Wave. I tried the technicolor ones most recently. I noticed that the packaging for the two sets was different, and one had 30 strips while the other had 28. This doesn’t bother me though, as Ohora and Heyhae also have 30 and 28 respectively.

Technicolor was their best selling and most popular wrap which was why I chose it!

As for the Lit Wave one, I noticed this brand advertising wraps with a deeper curve on french tips, and I usually avoid french because I think they can look weird on longer nails. But excited to give these a try eventually!

For my application process I usually like to do a base coat, a builder gel (helps me avoid any damage when removing a wrap), and then the wraps. Something I noticed was that the wraps I used were thick! In fact, I would claim that the technicolor wraps were the thickest I’ve tried yet, and I’ve tried ones from Ohora, Heyhae, shein, autyamee, dashing diva, and even some randoms from Amazon. I didn’t necessarily mind that they were thick, but I probably would’ve changed up my application process to use less builder gel had I known before.

They held up flawlessly, the pics are from the day after application, and then the last pic is from the day I removed, about 11 days later. I just wanted to change it up! Something interesting about the removal process - the wrap broke into two layers. A clear layer that also took the gold chrome off, and then an underlying layer with the color on it. I wonder if other sets without any chrome would be thinner? A little more challenging to remove, but no damage given my process. I will add that I don’t experience any lifting, damage, or problems with adherence, because my prep and process is good, so others experience may vary a little bit.

All in all, I liked their product despite their brand having their own quirks, and I already ordered again from the brand. Something cute about them that I’ve noticed other nail wrap brands don’t have is, they have glittery top coats with different kinds of glitter! I also bought some of those. Will review those as well. (FYI I recommend avoiding liquid gel products unless you are experienced in preventing them from touching skin, exposure can be harmful)
