OHORA NAILS  How to Apply the Viral Gel Nail Strips

Ohora is a viral nail brand featuring semi-cured strips that harden into the perfect gel mani. There is a bit of a learning curve they first couple times you use them — here's my step-by step guide!!

1. Push back cuticles. 

Pushing back my cuticles with my thumb nail makes it easier to apply the nail strips close to my nail bed.

2. Remove oil and moisture. 

Removing excess oil, dirt or moisture helps the nail strips stick better to your natural nails. Use the included alcohol pad to wipe your nails clean.

3. Pick your nail strips.

These semi-cured gel nail strips are stretchy so you can fairly easily stretch them to fit to your nails. It's better to choose strips that are slightly too small versus too big.

4. Apply the nail strips. 

Peel off the transparent film sheet that is covering the Ohora gel nail.  Then you can gently peel pack the nail and apply it to your natural nail.

5. Press and smooth.

Be sure to put extra pressure on the tips of your nails!

6. Trim the strips.

Since I have short nails I use a nail clipper to do this. You can also use a nail file or scissor to do so.

7. Cure the nails. 

Place your fingers under the Ohora Gel Lamp, and push the button on the side. Repeat up to 3 times, until your nails are hard and shiny.

8. File your nails. 

Then enjoy your beautiful manicure!
