Pues no trae el pegamento

No me gustaron, porque no trae el pegamento y no te dicen cual te puede servir

Not so great

The product is as seen, however, it is not what you think. There is no glue or an understanding for what type of glue to use, there is no trimmer that it speaks of, there are no directions when it’s mailed to you so you have to do it blind, its not as strong as it claims and they will crack snap and pop on you.It says strong but it’s really weak material.Be mindful. This is a half baked product.

Strips don’t stay on

Update to my review below – they worked with a different nail glue! So if you’re willing to do a little trial and error they can still be cheaper than the competition.—–I bought these hoping I could use them as refill strips in a name brand competitor’s kit. Sadly, they are obviously a different material and they don’t stay on at all, even when I refrigerate the nail glue first. I guess you get what you pay for, and I will be shelling out for the good ones from here on out.

Yes! They’re very difficult to use. But…

They’re not very easy to use. Especially when you need close-up glasses. It seems like my feet are too far away and too close at the same time. Especially the nail that has problems. I think I’m going to take these to one of those nail Salon places see if they can put it on for me.Although I did put one on and helped secure it with a Band-Aid. My nail feels way better since then, though it’s not 100%. Seems to be a brilliant idea poorly executed.

Very effective, super cheap, & fairly simple to use! (Tips for success within)

I’ve had a lot of problems with ingrown toenails, and even had surgery on one side of one of them. When I first tried these, I was near the point of seeking surgery yet again. I had 2 nails deeply ingrown and infected. This took care of it! That was probably a year ago, and I’ve used them on and off since then as needed. In my case, after using one (or 2 if I need more pressure) a few weeks it’ll be “fixed” and the nail will go for months with no problems. But if I do things that encourage the problem to return (like a weird habit I have of curling my toes in my motorcycle boots), I just use one for a week or 2 and I’m back to good. BTW, I find the strips will stay on my nail for 1-2 weeks on average.In my experience, “medium” thickness super/ca glue to be perfect, and I use disposable applicator tips, which are easy to find on amazon. My recommendation: Instead of searching for “superglue”, search Amazon for “medium cyanoacrylate” and you’ll get results for larger bottles of it designed for hobbyists. Starbond & Bob Smith are 2 good brands (I prefer Starbond’s bottles.) Anyway, these hobbyist brands are a MUCH better value and they don’t go to waste! I find a 2 oz bottle will last 1+ years without getting dried up! The glue is high quality, and you can get a wide variety of thicknesses—I find the thinner liquids like medium dry much faster, especially compared to the gels and such that you usually find in stores.What I do is:1. Trim strip to size2. Put a drop of the medium cyanoacrylate on one side of my nail using an applicator tip3. Press an edge of the strip on the dot and hold it in place. I like to use the tip of tweezers or similar to hold it. If you’re impatient, you can spray a small mist of 91% isopropyl alcohol there, which will make the glue that’s seeped out of the edges cure nearly instantly, holding the strip in place. I use a 2oz fingertip spray bottle.4. After you’re confident it’s dried, apply a drop of glue on your nail under the other end of the strip and hold it in place, like the other. You can use another spritz of isopropyl on this side if you’ve prepared some.I think doctors just *like* doing expensive surgeries on ingrown toenails. When I went in, the doctor didn’t begin by telling me about treatment techniques—he began by getting out anaesthetic injections. This tells me that surgery is just the default option, at least for him. I get that these strips aren’t perfect, but they’ve solved my problems for the foreseeable future. Super cheap, relatively simple to use, effective!

It works

It works.The concerns in the comments are valid. It doesn’t come with glue, but you can’t ship glue overseas so it’s not their fault. It is uncomfortable the first day, but that’s when it does the most change. Does super glue get on your fingers? Yes. But if you use gel vs liquid it’s better, and I use a scrap piece of paper to hold the second side down so I don’t get glue all over my fingers. Is it pretty? No, my nail gets all scratched up, flaked, and covered in glue.It takes a bit of practice, and being young, flexible, and good with crafts has certainly helped me, but here’s the message:It works. It works as quickly as one day. I can hike and rock climb and wear pinchy shoes. My other option is surgery, surgery that I’ve had 3 times with limited efficacy. I’m not sure yet how long before my nail reverts to its original state, or if I can get even the deepest section of my nail bed to even out if I wear it long enough, but the corner lifted to a comfortable level within one day of wear and there was zero regression on day 3 of it off, so I’m very happy with it. I’ll take a $10 crafty solution over a $1000 surgery with no health insurance, yes thank you.
